Last Friday, Ariana Grande debuted her first single, Hate That I Made You Love Me, from her upcoming album, Petal.<\/p>\n

The new album will drop on July 31, about two years after she released her last album, Eternal Sunshine.<\/p>\n

The five-minute-long video sees Ariana and actor Justin Long play the central characters in a dark horror story.<\/p>\n

After seemingly burying his lover, Justin is seen being haunted by Ariana\u2019s ghost, and she follows him everywhere he goes.<\/p>\n

The real twist is when the tables turn at the end of the video, which was directed by Christian Breslauer, who also shot Brighter Days Ahead from the singer\u2019s previous album.<\/p>\n

The reactions to the music video reflected how the internet just can\u2019t seem to let her exist in peace.<\/p>\n

The video triggered a wave of unsolicited commentary about her appearance<\/a>, with one saying, \u201clike bones SHOULD NOT be that visible\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally. I love her so much but this is not normal and her fans need to wake up instead of constantly d*ck-riding her,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand why Ariana is obsessed with showing off her chest bones\u2026\u201d another wrote. \u201cI\u2019d feel bad about the body shaming if it wasn\u2019t so painfully obvious she\u2019s trying to show off how skinny she is all the time. it\u2019s kinda disturbing at this point.. can\u2019t even focus on the music video.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of you defending a CLEAR disorder is the reason she will never get help. The tour needs to be canceled<\/a>, she needs a break, and needs mental health at a treatment center. This isn\u2019t normal! Stop showing pictures of the past they are not the f***ing same to what she presents!\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n

Loyal fans defended her and asked critics to back off, saying, \u201cStop controlling people\u2019s bodies she\u2019s a grown a** woman in her 30s she\u2019s gonna show some skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s always been skinny, she\u2019s always been THAT girl. let\u2019s leave commenting on bodies that aren\u2019t our own in 2007,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you expect her to just hide away? this is her body, she\u2019s allowed to show it as she pleases,\u201d another one said. \u201cits not her problem if it disturbs you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan skinny women exist without y\u2019all saying they\u2019re bodychecking?\u201d another asked.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, Ariana has constantly been the target of relentless commentary<\/a> about her weight, especially during the Wicked press tour.<\/p>\n

ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n

Netizens have been loud and vocal about their scrutiny of her weight and appearance.<\/p>\n

Much of this non-stop commentary comes from what psychologists call a \u201cparasocial relationship,\u201d which is a one-sided attachment where fans feel an intense connection to a celebrity, even though the celebrity doesn\u2019t even know they exist.<\/p>\n

\u201cAriana Grande became famous as a Nickelodeon child star around age 17. The public has grown up with her and sees her through the lens of nostalgia, purity, and a fixed image of youth,\u201d Dr. Patrick Wanis, a behavioral and relationship expert, previously told<\/a>Bored Panda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccordingly, any physical change\u2014weight loss, weight gain, or aging\u2014is magnified because people expect her to remain the same forever. Her fans identify with her youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to this \u201cnostalgia\u201d factor, pop divas and Hollywood celebrities are expected to maneuver through a society that glorifies thinness. Stars like Christina Aguilera<\/a>, Emma Stone<\/a>, and numerous others constantly make headlines for any kind of weight gain or weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public expects female celebrities to strike an impossible balance\u2014thin but not \u2018too thin,\u2019 toned but not \u2018too muscular,\u2019 natural but not \u2018too real.\u2019 This is an extension of the extraordinary pressure and societal expectation of women<\/a>,\u201d Dr. Patrick said.<\/p>\n

This \u201ctoxic mix of nostalgia, beauty standards, and social media culture\u201d puts pressure on Grande and other pop stars to \u201cremain frozen in time \u2013 eternally youthful, while still conforming to impossible expectations of unattainable standards if not perfection,\u201d said the creator of SRTT Therapy (Subconscious Rapid Transformation Technique).<\/p>\n

Ariana described\u00a0Petal as \u201ca little feral,\u201d coming from a place that she was \u201ctoo shy\u201d or \u201cpolite\u201d to tap into before<\/p>\n

Before the release of her new album, Petal, Ariana will be setting out on The Eternal Sunshine Tour on June 6, with her first stop being in Oakland, California, and her last being on September 1 in London.<\/p>\n

Ariana spoke about Petal last month, saying the album was \u201cbasically about something that is full of life growing through the cracks of something that is cold and hard and challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of about breaking up with all different kinds of negative attachments, whether it\u2019s my own monsters in my own head, external voices, things that no longer serve me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Side to Side singer described the album as \u201ca little feral,\u201d coming from a place that she was \u201ctoo shy\u201d or \u201cpolite\u201d to tap into before.<\/p>\n
