Ariana Grande stars in new music video for ‘hate that i made you love me’, featuring Justin Long
Ariana Grande stars in a new music video for her track “hate that i made you love me” from her album “petal.” The video features actor Justin Long digging a grave in the desert, unaware of the consequences that follow. As Justin drives away, the camera takes us underground to a dirty room where Ariana is trapped amidst black-and-white composition books, one of which is labeled “Insecurities.”
Throughout the video, Justin is haunted by Ariana’s vengeful ghost. He throws a picture of her out the window, only to see her appear in the back seat of his car. Startled, he drives through her standing in the road, leading to a panicked moment where he flips the car, engulfing it in flames. As he stumbles away from the wreckage, Ariana appears in front of him, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.
Returning home, Justin tries to erase any reminders of Ariana from his life. He throws a plate inscribed with “Happy 8th Anniversary” into the fireplace, resulting in a fiery catastrophe that consumes him. Seeking solace in a diner, Justin encounters multiple patrons, all of whom bear Ariana’s likeness. The waitress’s nametag reads “Petal,” possibly alluding to Ariana’s eighth album.
In a climactic scene, Justin revisits the desert to confront his past actions. Upon opening a previously dug-up grave, he finds it empty before encountering Ariana herself, who begins burying him alive. The video ends with a chilling realization of the consequences of his actions and the haunting presence of Ariana’s character.
The video’s narrative unfolds with suspense and supernatural elements, providing a visual representation of the emotional themes present in the song. Through compelling visuals and a captivating storyline, Ariana Grande and Justin Long deliver a haunting tale of love, loss, and the lingering impact of past relationships.
