Tracy Gilchrist went viral last week for her comment about the song "Defying Gravity" during an interview with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

Gilchrist, who has been mocked by the internet for creating the completely nonsensical now-viral phrase, told Variety on Monday that the interview was conducted a day and a half after the Nov. 5 presidential election, and that she went into the sit-down with “sincere” intentions.

In an interview with Variety, journalist Tracy E. Gilchrist opened up about the viral moment from her Wicked interview with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and broke down the definition of "holding space.

When a journalist asked the actress Cynthia Erivo about fans “holding space” for the movie’s signature song, a meme was born.

It’s not for them.” Many of the cynics and haters were, in fact, queer people who did not understand, but she doesn’t need to know that. For once, the internet made a fun moment and nobody had their life ruined in the process.

As if “Wicked” hasn’t already taken over the internet enough, a moment from one of the stars’ press interviews has turned into the latest meme. Here’s an explainer.

Looking longingly at Grande, who squeezes her co-star's hand, Erivo went on: "I think it's really important in that moment to not allow the things that have hurt her, that have stripped her of her humanity, to keep her down."

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have gone far and wide to promote the new "Wicked" movie. But one Out magazine interview appeared to unexpectedly defy gravity.
