On Thursday, the Eternal Sunshine singer posted to Instagram expressing her overwhelming gratitude for the huge entertainment industry nod.

"picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition," Ari began.

"i cannot stop crying, to no one's surprise," the pop star joked, referencing the Wicked press tour memes about her and costar Cynthia Erivo's overly emotional spate of interviews.

She continued, saying that she was "sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. i'm so proud of you, tiny."

Ariana then thanked the Academy again, as well as Wicked director Jon M. Chu and her co-lead and bestie Cynthia Erivo. Cynthia herself nabbed a Best Actress Oscar nomination, although Chu was passed over in the Best Director category.

Ariana closed off her post. writing, "i don't quite have all my words yet, i'm still trying to breathe. but thank you. oh my goodness, thank you. Universal, Marc, my family, my heart... lemons and melons and pears, oh my."
