Ariana Grande's '7 Rings' Video Is Here And It's Badder Than You'll Ever Be
Right after days of pretty-in-pink teaser pics plus a whirlwind of tornado and diamond emojis,
Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" is finally here. World, meet Ariana the rapper.
While "
thank u next" was all about the boys in Ariana's life, this bop shines a (pink-hued) light on the girls in her exclusive inner circle. And man, do they know how to throw a rager. Grande reunited with director Hannah Lux Davis for the
very luxe vid, which finds the self-described "savage" draped in diamonds and fur, drowning in champagne as she flips "My Preference Things" into a bad-bitch flex anthem. "They mention 'Which one?' / I mention 'Nah, I want all of 'em'" Ari sings-raps. "I visualize it, I like it, I want it, I got it."
Naturally, Grande's BFFs — Victoria Monet, Tayla Parx, Alexa Luria, Courtney Chipolone, Njomza, and Kaydence — are front and center in the video. It only makes sense, considering the song gets its name from their matching rings, which Ari paid for at Tiffany & Co. Immediately after her breakup with Pete Davidson last year. She told
Billboard last month, "You know how once you're waiting at Tiffany's they give you more than a few champagne? They got us very tipsy, so we paid for seven engagement rings, and any time Whenever I got back to the studio I gave everybody a friendship ring."
Yep, Grande swapped that rock of an engagement ring from Davidson for an eas friendship ring, and she hasn't looked back. The rom-com-referencing "thank u, next" may have gone viral for its meme-friendly nostalgic references, although you can argue that "7 Rings" has a fantastical movie ending of its own — the kind where the heroine realizes all she needs is herself. (Well... And maybe some "lashes and diamonds, ATM machines." If you've got it, work it.)
