Pop superstar Ariana Grande has revealed she tested positive for Covid-19 while promoting her upcoming film Wicked: For Good, raising fresh concerns over her health and well-being. The announcement, shared via social media, follows her November 18 appearance on The Tonight Show, captioned "moments before Covid."

Grande's diagnosis comes amid a difficult press cycle, as co-star Cynthia Erivo recently suffered voice issues. The setback is expected to force Grande to miss several promotional events for the sequel, released recently.

This marks the second time both performers have contracted Covid, having fallen ill separately during the first Wicked movie in 2024, potentially affecting the film's marketing momentum. Fans have intensified scrutiny of Grande's health, particularly following her noticeably slimmer appearance during the promotional period. Her transformation has drawn attention online, with speculation linking it to her demanding schedule, previous struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and her ongoing focus on mental health.
