Ariana shared that she often channels energy through her hands and is “always holding a hand, always squeezing something” or reaching for something, usually whoever tends to be in the vicinity.

The two actresses have clearly bonded throughout their Wicked journey together and the “Eternal Sunshine” singer says they’ve “worked hard to maintain” that bond. They even do regular check-ins when they’re not together.

“We’re both so busy but do our best to stay connected in that way and to take care of each other so we can honor the project as much as humanly possible,” she shared.

During the same podcast episode, Ariana revealed that her upcoming tour might be last one for a “long, long time.”
