A trailer released by Universal Pictures for the upcoming Wicked sees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo playing Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, and singing "Popular" and "Defying Gravity."

The trailer opens with Ariana's voice asking, "Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?" Grande, clad in several pink costumes, is seen meeting Erivo's Elphaba and swinging from a chandelier in a shared dormitory at Shiz University.

The two then travel to the Emerald City to meet Jeff Goldblum's Wizard of Oz. Grande is heard singing "Popular," and then sings a few lines from "Defying Gravity."

The visual features flying monkeys, yellow bricks, silver slippers and plenty of pink and green.

The first Wicked film is set to premiere on Thanksgiving Day. The story, co-written by Winnie Holzman, is based on Gregory Maguire's 1955 novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." Stephen Schwarts wrote the show's music and lyrics.

Cardi B says she is not dropping a new album this year, as she had promised a few weeks back.

The rapper made the announcement in a conversations with fans online about the follow up to her 2018 debut album.

It has been six years since the rapper released her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy.

Cardi B had earlier indicated that her new album is expected to be release in 2024.

Apparently provoked by a fan's tweet poking fun at Cardi's past promises of her delayed album, the 31 year-old artist wrote on X, "Exactly and I tell myself this all the time .. and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the a**."

She followed it up with the disappointing statement, saying, "Anyway NO album this year I don't care I'm relaxing this year .. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer."

In celebration of the sixth anniversary of Invasion of Privacy in April, Cardi B had promised, "6 years later I'm preparing to drop the next one this year.. it's so different from what everyone is expecting and I'm sooo excited."
