To end the glamorous evening, the singer's Wicked costar, Cynthia Erivo, joined her for a surprise rendition of "When You Believe."

The 30-year-old went on to thank the museum, Vogue and its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for having her, as well as Baz Luhrmann, the dancers and musicians that helped in the process.
"And last but most ~certainly~ not least, thank you to the divine and magical @cynthiaerivo for joining me in the end," Grande continued," and for lighting up the museum brighter than any star in the sky ever could. it was my honor to have you and to sing with you as always. i love you!"
