Ariana Grande’s New Video Sets Off Talk About Body and Beauty Standards
The singer says public comments about bodies can harm young fans as her new album and video renew scrutiny of her appearance.
- Singer Ariana Grande's new music video and album, "Petal", have reignited public discourse regarding her appearance, with the nearly seven-minute video serving as an indictment of celebrity judgment.
- Scrutiny of celebrity bodies is historically persistent, but experts worry that images of noticeably skinnier famous faces could negatively impact those struggling with body image issues or Eating Disorders.
- Psychologist Rachel Goldman at NYU's Grossman School of Medicine warns that public commentary on appearance reinforces the idea that "our value is tied to how we look", a message young people actively absorb.
- Grande has pushed back against critiques, insisting she is healthy and that commenting on bodies is unacceptable; her representative confirmed she will step back from public life after her current tour.
- For those facing body image or eating concerns, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders provides a helpline at 662-1235, available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST.
