Ariana Grande has pulled off an unforgettable surprise for the A-list guests at the 2024 Met Gala, revealing herself as this year's secret musical performer.

The 30-year-old pop sensation didn't hold back, delivering an electrifying set that showcased her greatest hits, including a special duet with her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, 37.

Held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Grande wowed the crowd at the Temple of Dendur with her breathtaking vocals and stunning fashion.

The "Thank U, Next" singer was draped in a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal dress by John Galliano. The sheer green gown, adorned with floral ruffles, offered an alluring peek at her contrasting bra.

Opening on a magical note, she sang "Once Upon A Dream," a song featured in Disney's 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. Adapted from Tchaikovsky's ballet, it perfectly tied in with this year's theme, which draws connections to timeless fairy tales.

Next up, she revved up the crowd with her hit "Into You," from her 2016 album Dangerous Woman, followed by her chart-topping single "7 Rings" from the 2019 album Thank U, Next. Grande then delivered tracks from her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, including "The Boy Is Mine," "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)," and her number-one single "Yes, And."

The highlight of the night was a duet with Cynthia Erivo on "When You Believe," a song originally performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the animated film The Prince of Egypt.

Backed by the Broadway Inspirational Voices choir, the two dazzled the audience with their powerful vocals.

Despite her elaborate gown restricting her movement, Grande had the support of 30 dancers, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that capped off the evening perfectly.
