Taylor Swift And Cynthia Erivo Recreated The Viral "Holding Space" Meme At The Grammys, And You Have To See The Video

Wicked lead actor and Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo attended the 2025 Grammys alongside many other music icons.

Cynthia arrived at the ceremony after host Trevor Noah had already started his opening monologue. In an X video posted by the Hollywood Reporter's Chris Gardner, you can see Taylor Swift wave Cynthia over.

However, it seems the Grammys didn't hold space for Cynthia around the crowded tables. So, in a move that would make Drew Barrymore proud, the two singers shared a seat.

Like many of us, it seems like former theater kid Taylor Swift has also been obsessed with the Wicked press tour. While Trevor discussed Beyoncé's incredible 11 nominations, fans noticed Taylor and Cynthia seemingly recreating that viral "holding space" moment in the background.
