Everyone, I have an announcement
What is the Everyone, I have an announcement trend?
The audio samples Ariana Grande as Glinda in Wicked (2024): "Excuse me! Everyone, please! I have an announcement!" The theatrical hand-clap and declarative delivery make it a natural setup for big news. Brands use it to announce a new product, a campaign launch, a milestone, or a collab.
Origin
The "Everyone, I have an announcement" audio trend originates from a scene in the 2024 Universal Pictures film adaptation of Wicked (released November 22, 2024), in which the character Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, claps her hands to gather the attention of fellow students at Shiz University and declares "Excuse me! Everyone, please! I have an announcement!" before revealing she is changing her name from Galinda to Glinda. The scene is played for comedic effect, as Glinda frames the name change as a political statement in solidarity with a fired animal professor. Following the film's theatrical release, TikTok creators began extracting the audio and using it as a template for announcement-style videos, lip-syncing or overlaying the clip with personal or brand news such as milestones and product launches. TikTok search results explicitly link the sound to the Wicked film.
