Ariana Grande has warmed hearts worldwide by surprising a young fan battling stage 4 cancer with a thoughtful package filled with Wicked-themed presents.
The recipient, nine-year-old Brie Bird, documents her cancer journey on social media and shared a touching video of the moment she received mail from her “favourite person in the whole wide world.” For the special occasion, Bird dressed in a glittering pink gown reminiscent of Ariana’s Wicked character, Glinda the Good Witch.
Opening the packages on camera, the young fan revealed an array of gifts from the 7 Rings hitmaker. Among them were a pink tumbler cup, Wicked-inspired plush toys, and two Glinda-themed collectibles. Ariana Grande also included a Squishmallow pillow, a stuffed bunny dressed in Glinda’s signature outfit, and various themed goodies.
The care package continued with a set of OPI nail polishes inspired by the Wicked movie-musical, two bold pink zip-up pouches, a tote bag, and makeup items from Grande’s beauty brand R.E.M. Beauty. To top it off, Bird received a bottle of Ariana’s popular Cloud perfume.
Overwhelmed with joy, Bird expressed her gratitude in the video, saying, “Thank you so, so, so, so much, Ariana Grande. I love everything in the package, especially the Squishmallows and everything else. And I love that perfume, by the way.”
The surprise didn’t end there. Ariana Grande sent Bird a heartfelt video message, speaking about the care package and sending her love. She also left a sweet comment under the post, writing, “I love you, sweet amazing girl.”
Fans are praising the singer for her kindness and generosity, noting that her actions show the same warmth and charm she brings to her on-screen role. Grande is set to star as Glinda in Wicked: Part Two, which will be released in theatres on November 21, 2025.
The touching exchange between Ariana Grande and Brie Bird has not only brightened the young fan’s day but also reminded millions of the power of compassion, proving that even small gestures can leave a lasting impact.
