For more than a decade, Ariana Grande and Elizabeth “Liz” Gillies‘ friendship has remained victorious.
In the years since their Nickelodeon show Victorious ended in 2013, the duo—who first met when they costarred in 13 on Broadway in 2008—have proven their bond remained strong. And as for how they do so is really quite simple.
“We make a real effort to see each other,” Liz told People in an interview published Nov. 6. “We laugh, we reminisce and we make new memories.”
Those new memories have included costarring in Ariana’s “Thank U, Next” music video in 2018 as well as theatre dates when they went to see the Grammy winner’s boyfriend Ethan Slater in Spamalot in 2023.
“I see Ariana all the time,“ Liz, 31, continued, “and we’re constantly doing things, having new experiences and adding chapters to our book.”
These days, the Dynasty actress gets to her friend gets to live out her dream of one day playing Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, one of her favorite musicals.
