Taylor Swift and Cynthia Erivo bonded at the 67th annual Grammy Awards.

The two superstars were seated next to each other at the annual awards honoring the music industry.

The Bejeweled singer, 35, was seen holding onto the tip of the Wicked star’s, 38, nail, just like Ariana Grande did during the press tour for their blockbuster Wizard of Oz origin story.

Magazine where Erivo was told ‘people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that.’

Erivo was surprised by this fact and put her hand on her chest before saying, ‘I didn’t know that was happening. That’s really powerful—that’s what I wanted.’

Erivo then looked meaningfully at Grande, who reached over and held Erivo’s finger, seemingly for support.

Later, Grande and Erivo told their side of the story and admitted they didn’t know much about the concept of holding space.

I was surprised, because I had no idea. I honestly didn’t know what that meant — am I also in queer media, maybe?, Erivo recalled. Work! Let’s both be there,’ Variety reported.

‘I didn’t know what any part of it meant,’ Grande said. ‘I didn’t understand the first sentence, and then I definitely didn’t understand how you responded.

‘And I just wanted to be there. Because I knew something big was happening, and I didn’t know how to be there.’

‘After a while, I didn’t know how to be there,’ Erivo added.

As for the much discussed finger-grab, Grande said, ‘I’m going to grab this, because she looks like you might need something. I don’t know what the tapping was about.’

‘Release of tension!,’ Erivo chimed in.

Grande and Erivo discussed how they ‘took care of one another’ during their emotional, much-mocked press tour for Jon M. Chu’s $150M-budget big-screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical.

‘We are,’ the 31-year-old pop star said in their Variety cover story on Thursday.

‘I feel so grateful and proud of how present we’ve been able to be. A lot of people have come up to us and been like, “How you holding up?” with a long face. And we’ve just peeked at each other and been like, “We’re grateful and floating.”‘

The globetrotting belters had a habit of welling up at the slightest prompting during their international premieres and press junkets like when Jake’s Takes asked how they changed each other on November 8.

Ariana and Cynthia also liberally used therapy-speak buzz words like ‘holding space’ in an interview with Out Magazine on November 21.

‘We can giggle at it all we want, because we’re quite funny. I’ve watched and had a giggle,’ Grande (born Butera) admitted.

But it is really a privilege to work and feel this way, not just as an actress in a movie but as a human being with other human beings who care — yes, about the work, but about each other.’

But the two-time Grammy winner argued that their Wicked castmate Jeff Goldblum – who played the Wizard of Oz – was actually the most emotional person on the set not herself.
