Ariana Grande was left “in tears” after she received a special gift from Drew Barrymore.
The 31-year-old popstar and actress sat down for a pre-recording episode of Drew’s show that will air on Thursday.
During the episode, Drew gifted Ariana a rarely seen prop from the original Wizard of Oz.

Ariana, who plays Glinda, The Good Witch, in the new live-action Wicked film, was moved to tears as Drew handed her the original wand from the 1939 film.
When Ariana was shown the historic object, which a private individual owns, she covered her mouth and said: “Are you serious right now?”
“Thank you, guys,” she said as she pretended to leave the scene with the wand.
“It’s been fun. Bye!”
Taking to Instagram to share a sneak peek of the upcoming episode, the singer-songwriter confessed she was “still speechless.”
She wrote: “Thank you for this extraordinary gesture and moment.”
She added: “I’m so thankful for our talk today and for your heart, your generosity, your everything.”
The gushing note ended: “I love you so much. There truly aren’t words.”
Ariana Grande previously spoke with presenters Quincy Brown and Kevin Bianchi as she promoted the film on the Sentimental Men podcast in November.
As she described the audition process, she claimed that she felt under pressure to get past the “challenge” of losing her image as a pop star.
“I felt a little bit of the initial nervousness or the sort of preconceived notions about what I might be able to deliver or not deliver, or why I would be wrong [for the role] or whatever,” Ariana admitted.
