Gilchrist, who had previously spoken with Grande and Erivo for their work on Wicked, jokingly began the conversation with Chalamet and Fanning by saying, “First I just want to let you know that I am holding space for you,” a nod to her viral interaction with the Wicked stars.
The actors immediately recognized her and were delighted. “It’s an honor talking to you. I feel sort of starstruck,” Chalamet exclaimed. Fanning added, “You walked in, and I was like, ‘Tracy!’ There’s nothing that we can do that can trump what happened.”
