Ariana Grande is clearing the air when it comes to appropriate lyrics for her song “Popular.”
On November 13, the film’s official Instagram account sinister uploaded a snippet of Grande’s version of the song “Popular.” The lyrics are then placed on the screen as Grande sings them.
However, according to Grande, there appears to be a glaring error in the lyrics. In the comments section of the Instagram post, Ariana spoke up and revealed that the word “poise” in the lyric video is actually “scheme.”
“It’s a ‘ploy’ !!!!!! i love you @wickedmovie 🥲🥹,” she wrote.
Although it’s unclear what the actual lyrics might be. Genius, the world’s largest collection of song lyrics, shared that the song’s actual lyrics are “poise” and not “scheme.”
However, Grande officially covered the song in 2012 with MIKA and according to TMZ, the official vocal and piano book supports what Grande said and lists the lyrics as “ploys”.
This is not the first time sinister the film has been the subject of recent criticism. Mattel, the maker of the Glinda and Elphaba dolls for the film, has apologized after a link on the back of the box took people to an adult website instead of the film’s website. The box’s URL was misprinted from “www.wickedmovie.com” to “www.wicked.com.”
“Mattel has been made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel ‘Wicked’ doll collection, primarily sold in the US, that directed consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page. We deeply regret We regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to correct it,” the company said in a statement.
The company is working to fix this error and is also advising those who have purchased the doll to remove the packaging or obscure the link.
“Parents should be aware that misprints and misprints on the website are not suitable for children,” the statement continued.
sinister will be released on November 22 and the second part of the film will hit theaters in 2025.
