Ariana Grande Tears Up at Sarah Jessica Parker’s Surprise Voicemail on Podcast

The exchange prompted Grande to reflect on how her experience of fame diverged from the creative life she envisioned as a child.

Overview

  • During an appearance on Evan Ross Katz’s Shut Up Evan podcast, a prerecorded message from Sarah Jessica Parker was played for Grande.
  • Katz set up the surprise by inviting call-in questions and introducing Parker as a special guest voice in the segment.
  • In her voicemail, Parker praised Grande as “extraordinarily gifted” and asked what she imagined her career would be when she was young versus what it became.
  • Grande reacted with tears and said, “I can’t believe she knows who I am,” before describing the fame component as peculiar and difficult to navigate.
  • Coverage of the moment noted Grande’s busy slate, including the Nov. 21 release of Wicked: For Good and her Eternal Sunshine Tour starting in March 2026.
