Ariana Grande may soon own a famous piece of Hårgan history.
The "Monopoly" singer revealed on Wednesday that she's planning to bid on the elaborate May Queen outfit from A24's 2019 horror film "Midsommar."
The indie studio is auctioning off props and costumes from some of its beloved movies and TV shows, in order to raise money for New York City's essential workers. Proceeds from the item in question will go to the FDNY Foundation, which is the official non-profit organization of the New York City Fire Department.
The May Queen gown, worn by Florence Pugh's Dani in the frenzied finale, weighs roughly 33 pounds. Costume designer Andrea Flesch said it took four prototypes and two months to hand-glue the gown's 10,000 silk flowers.
"The Hårga have an infamously rich cultural history, full of tradition, symbolism, and ritual sacrifice," reads the auction listing on A24's website. "Simply put, they never miss the chance to dress for an occasion. For the first time outside Hälsingland, you, too, can own a piece of Hårgan history."
When a friend of Grande's texted her about the opportunity to buy the gown, she replied, "THE AMOUNT OF PPL THAT HAVE TEXTED ME ABOUT THIS." She then posted a screenshot of the exchange on her Instagram story, tagging Pugh.
"i'm crying / also i'm bidding as soon as possible," she wrote.
Pugh reposted the image and wrote: "DO IT! Halloween will never be the same."
Grande replied: "I WAS ALREADY PLANNING TO HAVe IT MADE ANYWAY BYE."
Pugh then informed Grande, "It even has hand holes for wine," which sent Grande's excitement over the edge.
Halloween is famously Grande's favorite holiday. Last year, she transformed her apartment into an episode of "The Twilight Zone" and spent five hours applying prosthetics and makeup for her costume.
"I've committed to my theme," she told fans. "Nothing makes me more feel more joy. even if i can't breathe or drink or eat."
Grande is also known for her love of horror films and creepy aesthetics. She has said she loves "The Ring" and the "Saw" franchise, and even told James Corden that the theme for her 2nd birthday party was "Jaws."
