Fans Are Worried Ariana Grande Can’t Stop Speaking In Her 'Wicked' Voice After Her Oscars Appearance
HuffPost
Many fans compared the "Wicked" star's voice transition to "Elvis" star Austin Butler's.
It looks like Ariana Grande might be experiencing a bit of an accent hangover.
Remember how Austin Butler wrestled to ditch the southern drawl he picked up while playing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in 2022′s “Elvis”? Butler had mastered the accent so well that it took him nearly two years to shake off the accent.
Well, now fans think the “Wicked” star is stuck in the same conundrum after Grande presented at Sunday’s 96th Academy Awards with what appeared to be the same voice she used to play Glinda in the forthcoming fantasy film.
While presenting the Best Original Song and Score award alongside her “Wicked” co-star, Cynthia Erivo, many social media users noticed Grande’s voice sounded awfully similar to her voice as Glinda in the film’s trailer.
People on X (formerly Twitter) were left confused over her vocal transition, with many comparing the switch-up to Butler’s struggle to drop the late Elvis’ accent he adopted for Baz Luhrmann’s film.
