Ariana Grande could very well be the Queen of All. She can not only strike a high note like anyone else and turn the concept of feminine sensuality into a popular radio song, but she also has unrivaled aesthetics. Her looks are always the most interesting thing about her music, whether she’s creating a whole new aesthetic for an album or constructing a tiny movie in a music video.
Everyday ft. Future (2017)
A song that doesn’t leave much to the imagination needs a music video that does the same. The video shows couples of all ages, colors, and sexualities practically fighting in public, with Grande strolling around streets, appearing in laundromats, and appearing on buses. While spectators are taken aback by their sudden craving for affection, Grande merely cheers them on.
One Last Time (2015)
This song has an overarching sense of melancholy to it, which is likely why the music video captures it so well. Starting with fictitious news stories about Earth passing through the tail of a comet named Eurydice, a worldwide panic develops, with Grande and her boyfriend (played by fellow Victorious cast member Matt Bennett) in the thick of it.
God is a Woman (2018)
This video is not only one of the best on this list, but it is also perhaps the best of any music video ever made. Following in the footsteps of ‘NTLTC,’ this video mashes together bits and pieces from history, astronomy, Greek mythology, feminine sexuality, and religion in a creative, Grande-styled way. The attention to detail and the various faces Grande portrays are breathtaking, and the Madonna monolog thrown in the middle is the cherry on top.
