VMAs performance really was something :wub: Glad that it made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 too, #8 peak *.*

Late to the scene but this song is amazing from her. 

Her best music video.

 

And a fantastic song too.

 

:heart:

I'd actually say one of her most underrated tbh. I was suprised it wasn't #1, but I guess people weren't ready for the religious references.

I wouldn't have expected this to go to #1 if 'Tears' couldn't, but I still adore this so much. It's infinitely better than anything from the new era anyway.

That's a good point, I'm still in shock 'Tears couldn't.

 

I think this has now overtaken 'Love Me Harder' as my favourite Ariana song. SO GOOD.

I think this might be my favourite from her too.

 

Definitely her best visual.

 

Also on a random note this was performed on the voice uk tonight by a male contestant.

Did he change the lyrics to "God is a man"?

I saw a lil bit of the performance (it was pretty bland tbh) butttt he did change the lyrics to "I'll believe God is a woman"

The performance was Ok as far as covers go. It felt strange hearing a Male take. The chorus did change to I’ll believe God is a woman though.

 

 

False alarm earlier as Ariana tweeted about the 1 year anniversary of this a day early and then deleted it :lol: but nowww it's been a year of this masterpiece :wub:

Ariana reminding us how incredible the visuals for this single were on her instagram today :wub:

(will always associate that final pic with Cameron's avatar now :lol:)

Can't believe it's been a year since this already. :0

 

Great tune but I haven't revisited as much as the other singles of Sweetener.

1 year :o wow! I remember not being sure on this at first but it quickly wormed its way up in my affections, particularly that final chorus :wub:

This was the most instant sweetener track for me. I instantly adored it.

 

 

The video is her all time best visual as well.

 

 

The song is a total 10/10 too! My second favourite Ari track ever.

I'm still obsessed with this performance :wub: wish she was performing again this year!

I think that performance is my favourite ever Ariana awards show performance tbh.

 

The whole package just worked and it really showed how far she’d come as a live performer being able to captivate and command attention from the audience. I was blown away when I first seen that as she’d always impressed vocally live but sometimes looked quite scared when doing things like choreography but this changed all of that.

For me it's the performance I go back to watch most often, so good!

Yeah it has so much replay-ability factor :wub: 'thank u, next' on Ellen is another recent fave.

 

In other 'God is a woman' news, a lawsuit has been dropped against the music video. https://pitchfork.com/news/ariana-grande-go...awsuit-dropped/

 

The reason? Well, this similarity to a painting during some scenes in the video...
