Ariana Grande Feels Like A ‘Dangerous Woman’ In Hot New Video
Ariana Grande is showing off her sultry side in a new music video. The singer has finally released the video for her title track “Dangerous Woman,” which is already burning up the music charts.
The 22-year-old decided to let her hair down and wear some black lacy lingerie for the video. It’s not every day that we get to see Grande with her hair down, so you know she’s serious. Come to think of it, this is a whole new side of Grande we’ve never seen before. The singer sheds some serious skin and even shows off her cleavage. The video may be one of the first “visuals” for the single.
Directed by The Young Astronauts, the video shows Ariana writhing around in lingerie in bed and in front of a curtain. There are splashes of pink, purple, and blue over the course of the sultry video. The close-up shots give fans a closer look at her “baby doll” finger tattoo. If you think the video looks a little grainy, it’s because it was made to feel like a dirty VHS tape for that ’90s look that’s so hot right now.
Check out Ariana Grande’s Visual 1 for “Dangerous Woman” below.
“Dangerous Woman” first made its debut earlier this month. It will also appear on her album of the same name, which is due out on May 20. In addition to releasing the new track, Grande also released “Be Alright” from her album and performed it on SNL.
The sexy new video must be working in Ariana’s favor, because “Dangerous Woman” has hit No. 1 on the Billboard and Twitter Top Tracks Chart. The sexy new song became the pop star’s fourth song to top the charts, following “Problem” (featuring Iggy Azalea), “Break Free” (featuring Zedd), and “One Last Time.” Ariana’s latest chart-topper puts her up against Taylor Swift for the most lead singles from a female artist.
You may enjoy Grande’s a cappella version of “Dangerous Woman,” in which she sports a bunny mask and latex costume. The video has received over 18 million views on YouTube since its debut on March 29. Check out that video below.
Ariana Grande has collaborated with a rapper or two in the past, but she has no problem standing up against them. According to the Mirror, she called all male artists to stop using derogatory terms for women in their music. Ariana split from rapper Big Sean last year. Then he collaborated with Drake and released a song with the lyrics, “Ho, shut the f*** up.”
The rapper has also worked with Chris Brown and has referred to women as “b****es” in his songs. Big Sean is also notorious for dropping songs about his famous girlfriends, including Grande and Glee star Naya Rivera.
Ariana took to Twitter to write, “When men talk about women in songs it’s like, ‘Oh, hell yeah, hos and b****es. And if a girl makes a song about a break up then it’s like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe she did that,’ or ‘What a s**t.'”
“Whether it’s the music industry or real-life we need to break the standard and it needs to go away soon. I love seeing women be more vocal about these things because it’s the only thing that will make a change – being really honest and speaking up,” Grande added.
Ariana Grande may not have her own squad a la Taylor Swift, but she wouldn’t mind joining the pop singer’s long list of friends. When Capital FM’s Roman Kent asked the singer if she would join Taylor’s squad, she seemed shocked at first.
“Oh wow. That would be so crazy. Do you have to do anything weird to get in? I don’t know the details. All those girls are really nice. I would be so down.”
Swift and Grande hugged it out at the 2016 Grammys and have met each other at the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
