Ariana Grande’s New Music Video Sparks Appearance Concerns

The video casts Grande as a rejected actress whose revenge turns into a chainsaw attack on the executives.

  • On July 31, 33-year-old Ariana Grande released the music video for her single "Petal," featuring her as an aspiring actress named Pepper who kills industry executives in a blood-soaked chainsaw massacre.
  • Grande described her eighth studio album as "a little feral," explaining she wrote from a place of "unfiltered rage" that she felt uninhibited creating. The album's visuals match this darker tone.
  • Following her breakup with Ethan Slater earlier this year, the singer recently rekindled her romance with Ricky Alvarez. She explained feeling too shy to tap into her anger before creating this album.
  • Despite dropping out of season 13 of American Horror Story earlier this year, Grande remains a "scream queen." This dark artistic turn follows a decade of fashion evolution since her 2010 MTV Movie Awards appearance.
  • Known for iconic looks like her 2024 Oscars gown, the performer continues to experiment with visual presentation. Her career spans roles as a Wicked actress and Scream Queens star.
