Ariana Grande Keeps a Strange Wicked Souvenir in the Most Random Spot

Actors often take home small mementos from film sets, but not everyone ends up with prosthetic ears. That’s exactly what happened with Ariana Grande, who now owns the fake ears worn by her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo while playing Elphaba.
Erivo had to wear prosthetic ears because she has multiple piercings, and covering them up was easier than trying to hide them with makeup or CGI. Somehow, Grande ended up with them and now keeps them in an unexpected place—by her printer.
During an interview with BBC, Grande was asked where she stores them. She laughed and said: ‘Right now, they’re just, like, next to the printer. With, like, pens and printer and then Cynthia’s ears.’
She even joked about putting them on a snack tray for guests, just to see how people react. While she hasn’t actually done that yet, she admitted she might in the future.
When asked if she had considered displaying them more formally, she shut that idea down fast. ‘I think that’s the best version of it. Framing them is weird. Sorry! Go ahead, I’m still thinking about it. I’m spiraling about it.’
Ali Plumb, the interviewer, suggested placing them in the downstairs bathroom, which Grande found amusing. But she seems happy with her current storage choice—right next to office supplies.
This whole thing is a perfect reflection of Grande’s personality. She’s always had a playful sense of humor, as we saw with her reaction to the viral ‘holding space’ meme and how major stars like Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning got in on the joke.
She clearly had a special time making Wicked, and keeping this weird little souvenir only proves how much she loved the experience.
With the Oscars approaching and Wicked: Part Two coming in 2025, maybe we’ll find out what other odd keepsakes she—or her castmates—held onto. And honestly, we need to hear what Cynthia Erivo thinks about her ears being part of Grande’s office décor.
