“Wicked” star Ariana Grande admitted that she had no idea what the self-described “queer journalist” was talking about in the interview that went viral and caused a lot of confusion. In the original video, “Out” reporter Tracy Gilchrist told Grande and co-star Cynthia Erivo that “people have been taking the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’ and really holding space with that and feeling power in that,” prompting Erivo to become emotional and say, “I didn’t know that was happening. That’s really powerful,” as Grande gripped her hand and nodded along. In the weeks since, the clip has circulated online and been mocked, as many viewers have questioned what Gilchrist was talking about when she used the words “holding space.”  Grande said she didn’t understand the statement at all but just reacted strongly because the other two women were, according to Variety.  “I didn’t know what any part of it meant,” the singer, who plays Glinda in the movie, 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 replied.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Grande said of the interviewer, “She’s also an amazing interviewer and a lovely person. That goes without saying.”  She added, “I feel really relieved that the world had the same experience with this moment that I did, because I felt like, ‘Oh, I’m not broken.’”  Grande also discussed grabbing Erivo’s hand, saying, “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 said. Gilchrist also discussed the viral interview with Variety previously, saying, “‘‘Holding space’ is being physically, emotionally and mentally present with someone or something.”  She added, “For me, it means being in the moment, not being distracted and feeling something on a cellular level. I think you can hold space with lyrics of a song – one you’ve heard hundreds of times – and it can suddenly take on new meaning when you’re a queer person. The Trump administration is targeting LGBTQ+ people via Project 2025.”

Singer Lana Del Rey offered a rare glimpse into her decision to marry Louisiana alligator tour boat operator Jeremy Dufrene, explaining some of the qualities she found attractive in him. The 39-year-old celebrity made the remarks while introducing singer and songwriter Jack Antoff at the Variety Hitmakers event over the weekend. “I’m grateful for [Antoff] for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret [Qualley],” she said. “I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married, and why I met my amazing husband. I feel like there’s a singers’ curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race,” Del Rey said during her speech. She continued, “It’s super nerve-wracking to hold on to an innocent perception of how things could go when you’re in an industry where maybe your values and your morals don’t quite match up with what’s going on. Especially when people think you probably don’t have any morals or values. I can get all twisted up.” Followers on social media were delighted by how fondly the singer spoke about her husband, who she married earlier this year, saying she was “glowing.” Lana Del Rey waited so long to get married because it was hard to find an honest, good man in an industry that didn’t necessarily match with her morals and values. Always knew she was a good one. She’s glowing when she talks about her husband. pic.twitter.com/v3IAieo4uV — Brittany Hugoboom (@BritHugoboom) December 8, 2024 Others wondered if Del Rey could have become a conservative now despite the fact that she’s publicly shunned President-elect Donald Trump in the past, going so far as to cast a spell on him in 2017. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The Brit Award winner made headlines for her unlikely choice of spouse when she wed the alligator tour boat captain this fall, especially as fans speculated that the Louisiana native was likely a Trump supporter. Dufrene has set his social media accounts, including Facebook and Instagram, to private. But purported screenshots show Dufrene sharing pro-Trump content that aligns with conservative values, as The Daily Wire previously reported. One meme allegedly shared by Dufrene promotes physical action if a male were to enter a girl’s bathroom with someone’s daughter. Dufrene, a father of three, seems to have met Del Rey in 2019 when she took a boat tour with him. The pair wed in late September on the same bayou where Dufrene operates his tours.

No matter how you feel about the Twilight series, there’s no denying that a recent viral trend was made for it. Allow me to explain: This trend has folks sharing what are often “controversial” opinions. At the start of each video, we aren’t shown who is recording. Then, just at the end, the mystery person “accidentally” reveals themselves. And just like that, the opinion they gave suddenly makes a lot of sense — and is even funnier! If you’re a fan of Twilight, you probably know where this is going. One of the biggest debates in the fandom has to be whether or not the main character, Bella Swan, should have ended up with Edward Cullen (the vampire) or Jacob Black (the werewolf). With that said, you’ll never believe who is behind the viral video below… @taylorlautner Oops ♬ Dramatic Sad Violin – Platon Davydov “I’m glad I didn’t see who the creator was and just watched the video first,” a fan admits in the comment section. That’s right — Taylor Lautner himself is Team Jacob. Okay, so that’s not actually very surprising. He did play the role of Jacob, after all. Still, even knowing this, nothing can beat the hilariously dramatic reveal that he’s the one behind the camera. Taylor Lautner Wins This Hilarious Viral Trend By Giving Us the Perfect Throwback to Twilight “You didn’t win the girl, but you won the trend,” someone points out, with another adding, “The fact that he still can’t get over Twilight. I looooove it.” While Lautner gifted us with a fantastic video, we have to give credit where credit is due. In reply to a fan, the actor admits this funny video wasn’t his idea. So, who did come up with it? His wife, Taylor, of course! “Behind every funny man is his much funnier wife,” a fan jokingly replies. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

The idea that human civilization has been gradually evolving over time in a linear manner, is a relatively new concept that was formulated during the period of colonization. Nearly every ancient culture believed otherwise. They said that time moves in cycles, smaller and larger, and that our civilization has gone through innumerable ups and downs over eons. With the emergence of new scientific data, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the ancients knew what they were talking about, and we have been far too quick to denounce the collective wisdom of our ancestors as the flights of fancy of primitives.

But you have to have, you know you have rules, regulations, laws.
