Narrative:

While taxiing to runway xy on taxiway P in ZZZ we were told follow aircraft Y and cross runway za at taxiway papa. We were cleared across runway za and following aircraft Y; with traffic landing on runway za on short final. However; as soon as aircraft Y crossed they immediately stopped and switched frequencies. This left the tail of our [aircraft] on runway za. Ground desperately tried to raise aircraft Y; advising them to pull forward; and allowing us to clear runway za. They were unsuccessful and we remained on runway za unable to move forward or clear the runway. As a result the landing traffic for runway za was sent around. Ground control eventually made contact with aircraft Y and informed them of the situation that had transpired. They then pulled forward and we were able to clear runway za before any additional landing traffic had to be sent around.the flight was then completed without any additional occurrences.
