We have the corrected lyric! Earlier this week, the official Wicked movie account released a lyric video of Ariana Grande’s rendition of the song “Popular” from the film. However, in the video, the “proper ploys” lyric was mistakenly labeled as “proper poise,” a fact pointed out by Grande herself in the comments of the initial Instagram post. Now, an updated video has been released, featuring the correct lyric. Take a look at the side-by-side screenshots below and watch the new video here!
