It's no secret Ariana Grande is wickedly talented, just like Idina Menzel.

The pop star swung by NBC's A Very Wicked Halloween Monday night, celebrating 15 years of Wicked on Broadway (which doubled as drumming up some excitement for the long-in-the-works movie adaptation).

Grande -- donning a green bustier and some seriously shimmery green makeup -- performed "The Wizard and I," following a sweet intro from original co-stars Kristin Chenoweth and Menzel.

One vision almost like a prophecy? Though this tune is sung by the character Elphaba, expect Grande, with her huge fan base and professed love of the musical, to be on the shortlist for Glinda once casting for the film finally rolls around.
