Cynthia Erivo and her incredible voice just took the stage at the 2025 Grammys as a tribute to the late and great Quincy Jones, performing “Fly Me to the Moon” accompanied by Herbie Hancock and introduced by Will Smith. It was incredibly moving, and if you missed it—or just want to rewatch it—check it out here:

As a reminder, Cynthia is heading to the Oscars soon, where she’s nominated for her performance in Wicked, and she wrote the sweetest IG post celebrating.

“Moments like this don’t come along very often, and when they do, it is sacrilege to let them pass by without a moment of gratitude,” she said in her caption. “I am grateful, grateful to @theacademy, grateful to be a part of something that makes people feel seen, grateful to be a cog in the wheel of a piece that makes us believe in magic, grateful to have experienced a dream come true, and deeply deeply grateful for this unbelievable recognition. I often get asked what I would say to my younger self. Well today there’s nothing to be said. She is smiling, beaming, glowing from ear to ear. That speaks volumes.”

She also shouted-out Ariana Grande, saying, “To my sister, @arianagrande, what a joy it is to be here with you watching as you ascend and amaze and become the actress you were meant to be. Congratulations first time nominee, I’m so so proud of you!! There is no one in the world I would have wanted to do this with more than you. Thank you @jonmchu, our fearless leader whose kindness provided us with the room to play, you are deserving of all good things and I’m lucky to call you my brother.”
