Ariana Grande would like to put to rest a popular inaccuracy about a lyric in the hit Broadway musical “Wicked.” Grande stars a Glinda, later known as the good witch in “The Wizard of Oz,” in the big-screen adaptation of the musical. She and co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays fellow witch Elphaba, have been doing plenty of press for their new film. The movie’s official social media accounts recently shared a lyric video of Grande’s performance of the song “Popular” in the movie. “I’ll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys,” the lyrics read, but Grande corrected them. “It’s “ploys” !!!!!! i love you @wickedmovie,” she wrote in the comments on the Instagram post. That set off debate among commenters about whether it’s “poise” or “ploys.”
