“I have known Grande since she was 10, so Ariana, I am very very proud of you. She knows,” Kristin said. “We talk every day and it’s an honor and a pleasure to pass the wand and the crown to you.”

“I am a mentor,” she added. “I am also a mentee because I am learning from her as well.”

As for the advice she gave Ariana, Kristin said she encouraged the star to find her own interpretation of the character.

“I told her not to think about me. To find her own Glinda,” she shared. “We talk about it, and we talk about life a lot.”

She also addressed whether or not she’d have a cameo in the film. “You never know,” she told reporters. “I think I would be great on Yellow Brick Road somewhere. And Idina Menzel agrees.”
