If you thought Justin Long digging his own grave<\/a> in the music video for \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me<\/a>\u201d was intense, wait until you see Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s latest visual for Petal<\/a>\u2019s title track. Once again directed by Christian Breslauer<\/a>, the seven-minute short film opens with a parental advisory warning before Grande makes her appearance as a bright-eyed aspiring actress named Pepper. After several failed auditions, things take a bloody turn when a shadowy producer accuses Grande\u2019s character of being \u201cinauthentic.\u201d She then gives a performance truly worthy of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Watch it all go down below.<\/p>\n

Petal is co-written and executive produced by Grande and Ilya<\/a>, who she worked with on her 2014 hit \u201cProblem.\u201d In a press release, she described the album as \u201csomething that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande is currently on tour<\/a> for the first time in nearly seven years<\/a>. Given how much time has passed, this massive headlining run is in support of her pandemic-era album Positions<\/a>, the Wicked<\/a>-era record Eternal Sunshine<\/a>, and now potentially a bit of Petal, too. Once she wraps that up with a multi-night residency in London, Grande can focus on tracking down<\/a> those hackers who keep leaking her music and private photos to sue them.<\/p>\n
