Pop star Ariana Grande joined her "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo on stage for two surprise duets during Grande's concert at The O2 Arena in London on Sunday.

The duo first performed "For Good," an anthem from the musical "Wicked." Both Grande and Erivo have the song's title tattooed on their palms. Following their "Wicked" collaboration, the singers recreated the iconic 1963 medley of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again," originally performed by Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. Fans captured the performances, with clips shared by Grande's hairstylist Alyx Liu and Erivo's friend Capri Hakeem.

Grande, who recently concluded her "Eternal Sunshine" tour, is planning to take a break from public-facing work. Her team announced that she will step back from visibility after the tour concludes on September 1, aiming to finish on a high note in good health and happiness before taking a "much-deserved break" from public scrutiny. Her latest album, "Eternal Sunshine," debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, with two singles charting in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
