Ariana Grande has just released a new music video for her song "petal", and it is a disturbing picture of violence, homicidal horror and the darkness surrounding the pursuit of fame. But perhaps most interesting part isn't where Ariana Grande is today, but how she got here. Because if you rewind the clock, you'll find a young Ariana Grande beginning her career as a Nickelodeon star to now slashing up her critics in her music videos. The transformation came from God Is A Woman's explicit sexual imagery, religious inversion, lyrics about making deals with the devil, and now being a costar, to her interesting relationship with Cynthia Erivo, and now the music video "petal". Is she merely pushing artistic boundaries? Oh, are we watching another wicked trajectory of stardom where a star enters an industry, becomes increasingly immersed in darkness, and eventually begins reflecting the very darkness that surrounds it?
