Grande started off the show with an homage to The Wizard of Oz, singing “Over the Rainbow” in a glimmering red dress under a stunning rainbow-hued spotlight. Erivo, wearing a breathtaking white gown, then took over the mic to pour out a rendition of “Home,” as the stage screens took viewers through the glimmering sights of Los Angeles.
