Just as I was looking for something to watch 😊

Keri 🫶🏻

besties I need to know what you thought of the white lotus finale

Nayara De Iuliis

Shay

You guys truly spoil us thank you 🫶🏻

Natalie

Katie K

Yay!! So excited to watch with your girlies 💛💛

Renée

here we gooo !! so excited for this ! 🤍🤍

Deborah

We saw Taylor old in the anti-hero Music Video!!!

Hayden

if you watch we can’t be friends music video some scenes may make more sense!

Char

oh im soooooo sat. her DAD being the one to bring her life sent me overrrrr the edge. this was probably one of if not her best pieces of work yet. i love arianas creativity

leah hoffman

You guys should watch the we can’t be friends music video! It’s like part 1 for this short film

Kari Smith

I don’t think her and her dad had the best relationship for a long time bc of her parents divorce, but that since has been healed and they have gotten close again. And some of the visuals here kind of speak to that. Healing that relationship helped heal her in other ways as well ❤️

Kari Smith

Also the Dr is played by her actual dad lol

Rosanne

The fact that her own father plays in this and fixes her is so sweet!! I cried🥹

Katie LaFave

after seeing Ari play piano with her dad during the outro of homestead, that part in the song makes me emotional and gives me chills everytime!!

Katie LaFave

hoping this made you guys fathom dandelion & the fact that it's a trumpet in the beginning and not a saxophone!!!

Katie LaFave

Ari getting beamed up just gave me down bad vibes too

Justus Kerstin

So in the “We can’t be friends” music video we follow the character Peaches played by Ari as she goes through the process of getting her memories of her past relationship erased because they had been too painful for her. Some of those locations, pictures and scenes in this short film link directly back to that (like the house from the third memory she watched as well as the first shot of the box being burned)! This short film takes place many many years later when Peaches is really old. She’d partaken in Brighter Days Inc.’s newer program which allows you to store memories you’re scared of forgetting for a later in life one-time-watch. She knows that she doesn’t have much more time so that’s why she chooses to finally relive these important memories. All the memories obviously play into not only the overall theme of the album but also the stories behind the songs told through the story of Peaches, whose name is a reference to the character in the movie “eternally sunshine of the spotless mind” being called clementine. I’d definitely recommend to watch the we can’t be friends mv and then this one again afterwards to really get the full story!

Bethany Stone

Also her name in the wicked credits is Ariana grande butera which was her dads name and she said she intentionally wanted his name in there!

Brenda1989

U must watch the we can’t be friends music video, one of the photos in the house in twilight zone is from that music video

Lara

to me, the four memories are four central parts of her life: family, music, love and media

Brenda1989

Also she had her wedding in her house and that symbolizes the destroyed house in twilight zone

Katie LaFave

isn't the box being lit on fire in the beginning a continuation of the we cant be friends music video

Brenda1989

I also believe that peaches might have been a nickname of her from either her family or her ex husband

Katie LaFave

girls you have to watch the we cant be friends music video!!!

Katie LaFave

when ur 21 & haven't had ur first kiss yet...

Deborah

In the description is says Peaches struggled with "personal sensationalism (resulting in being torn apart by stray cats)" !!

Katie LaFave

just realized that her hand tattoo matches the design of the necklace!!!

Katie LaFave

the necklace is a gift from her father

Katie LaFave

omg you guys were so far off with the daddy issues 😂 i was just waiting for you to get to the end!!! yes Ari and her dad weren't as close after her parents divorce when she was young, but they reconnected years ago! she took both of them to the grammys in 2020 and they went to the wicked premiere!!

Persef

Im concerned about the amount of people who didnt clock that when hampstead starts playing the memory falls into place exactly like in the pensieve in harry potter

isabel

watching the we can’t be friends music video would help you understand this short a little bit more i think!! a lot taken from that into this short film

Shaun

Besties this short film is a sequel to the mv for we can't be friends!!

Savvy

Did you guys ever watch the "we can't be friends" music video? If not, It would be so cool for you guys to react to it. I think it brings in context to this short film and also it's so well done.

DemiMarie🤍🖤

Was absolutely waiting for this ladies!! 💕💕

Richard

There was a little visual at the end of the video, too.

Cassandra

Has Bonny fathomed wicked was filmed in England

Richard

My two favorite songs on the deluxe is Twilight Zone and Hamstead

alyssa

Yes! Which ties into the boy is mine music video

Lauren

In twilight zone the house falling apart is supposed to represent the memories she already got rid of in we can't be friends! Like the rubble of the relationship and all she left behind 'i can't believe you happened' Also her dad being her actual dad SENT ME. and the music saving her?!?! Way too emotional 😭😭

DemiMarie🤍🖤

Its funny cause I call her Down Bad Ari on the album cover 🤣

Holly

“I’d rather feel everything than nothing every time” gets me 🥹🥹🥹 after the WCBF music vid

Savvy

I had my first real kiss at 22. It was worth the wait! :)

Kristen

loooooving this fathoming. i saw someone say that she could also be slightly nodding to Wicked with the heart, brain, and maybe there’s something in there to represent courage. like the action of her dad trying to bring her back? idk. i don’t think that is obviously the main point, but i think it’s sweet to think that Wicked could have helped in her healing. 💞

Amanda Christon

This made me appreciate the album even more. So fucking superior

Catherine (YOYOK stan)

I loved this short film! It’s a work of Art, it’s profound, it’s almost like it’s beyond her time even like meta, she really discovered something and to be able to almost look back at it from a future point of view it’s insane I would love for her to give an interview on how she thought up this video! I cried the second I saw her family memory 💕😭

Scotty

Would absolutely love an Ariana discography reaction from you girlies ✨

Jenna Aguirre

I’ve been a long-time Ariana fan, and the way I take the entire short film is that her family and music healed her in a way no one else could have when she was being torn apart by the media and the public. She has always been close-knit with her family, but her relationship with her dad has been rocky. I think she has really connected with him over the last handful of years and healed that relationship. She even credited that part of her name in Wicked “Ariana Grande BUTERA”, which I think is beautiful. Also, speaking of Wicked, she has stated multiple times that her role as Glinda healed her inner child. She is so connected to that character and the songs of Wicked. I think each section of this music showed what has healed her and what brings her joy: Intro (her family), Eternal Sunshine/Dandelion: her fans (though, it is a complicated relationship), Twilight Zone/Supernatural (Ethan), and Hampstead (her dad & music; specifically her role in Wicked). She has talked about how in the past her family all sang karaoke together all of the time - her mom, her dad, her brother, her grandpa, her, etc. I think music and family are what bring her home most of all. 💘

Dhruvil Desai

did you guys not watch the we can't be friends music video this short film is pretty much a continuation of that

Nathalia

Yesss I was gonna say Ariana recently told the significance in an interview somewhere of her using both parents last names in the credits of Wicked and talked about her dad’s reaction to it. I’m pretty sure her dad is not actually a doctor, she said he’s the creative one in the family

Nathalia

People have also said that in Hampstead chorus she references her past albums just like in the short film. She goes “by your point of view” aka POV aka Positions, “a little bit of sugar, danger” this is Sweetener and Dangerous woman. “Rather feel everything” is supposedly My Everything. Idk if anyone said this already

Ava Demassio

you guys must watch her music video for we cant be friends its a continuation

Rhonda

Ehhhhh No thank you😊

j🪩

I second this!!

Kayla Knutson

I’m not an “Arianator” but like Bonnie, I have become obsessed with Ari since Wicked. There is obviously a whole lot more to the story behind her dad and her relationship that I haven’t looked into, but I am reminded of how she used her full name (Ariana Grande Butera) as the credits for Wicked and how she said in an interview how much that meant to her dad when he saw that for the first time. I wonder if they had a strained relationship most of her life which was why growing up she chose to just go by Ariana Grande (not to mention that name just sounds like a slay pop star name), but the significance of her adding her dad’s last name back in demonstrates that she’s probably reconciled some of that past history with him. As someone who currently has a complex relationship with my father because of my own parents’ recent divorce, the ending of this short film hit me in a very profound way. I’m very impressed with her vulnerability in her songs and the visuals here - OFFENSIVEEEEE!

Lynny Smith

Watching for 00.1 second and IMMEDIATELY have to comment about how offensive and stunning Bonny’s hair is looking!!! Okay wind swept beauty 😍😍😍😍 (Emily looking stunning as always also)

Shanna

This was so emotional, beautiful and heart breaking, wow 💔✨❤️

AshZ

It hurts that the girls don't like dandelion haha, it's my favourite on the album but I've been a big fan for a long time.

Anna J

The actor at the end was actually her dad 😊

AshZ

I feel like I'm kinda fathoming that all the memories are being deleted because they do bring a sense of sadness. First one reminding her of times when her family was happy and all together, which they might not be now. Second, being apart of the pop charts and going on world tours because now that part of her life is passing her by, she has achieved her "peak" by industry standards. Third is obviously the break up of her marriage and perhaps comparing it to her own parent's divorse. Then the last being the pubic scrutiny she faced over the last couple years. Just something I'm considering.

AshZ

I'm curious if her dad played a part in helping her through the breakup of her marriage and that's why she included his name in the wicked credits?

Verush

Is Selena's album reaction or even Lady Gaga's not coming? They came out before this, I'm just wondering,...

Erica

Girlies did you not see the “we can’t be friends” music video…? You can’t be watching this without watching that first.

Lucie S

I really loved the short film I feel like it was a beautiful way of wrapping of the era <3 I think you should watch the We Can't Be Friends music video, it's really good and the short film is a continuation, so there a quite a few references in it ! :) I find Hamstead quite relatable at the moment and it's beautiful so it is my new favorite from the album (I love all the songs)

Erica

I thought this the first time I watched it! Such a cute millennial touch.

Erica

That made me giggle! I was like, you guys saw it was a trumpet and still said is this the sax song 🤣

Erica

OMG I forget about that! You’re so right!

Ali ❤️‍🔥

I’m realizing watching this for the 5th time that her dad is the founder of brighter days Inc.

Ali ❤️‍🔥

Thank you for this video!!! I love how much care you two put into digesting music and visuals ❤️

ton

It’s also the reference to eternal sunshine if you don’t know that film

ton

Yes me too…. Then head into look through peoples windows 🤣

ton

Thanks, I knew I’d seen it somewhere

ton

I think this follows 4 phases in her life… growing up, feeling like her life is on a performance loop, feeling surreal from love (a la Down Bad 🤣), being broken and repaired (doing it with a broken heart 🤔) I think the memories are destroyed as part of the moving on ritual of eternal sunshine movie … let it go and move forward with your life as well as a representation of dementia still losing memories even as you relive them

ton

Also ties in with the final message… let it go and move forward as if it’s the last day of your life

Hanna Kulla

girlies it’s actually criminal to watch this without watching the we can’t be friends music video.. these two belong together as a continuation

ton

Thanks I enjoyed your reaction to this… I love the attention to visuals that some artists are doing and that they’re getting attention!

Hannah

The ”are they not coming” ”they came out before” and ”…” reads more as an accusation and a scream of MORE rather than a request or wondering 🫶

Hannah

Dandelion?

Hannah

No thank you what? Is that a reference to something?

Hannah

Yes!!!!

Stacy Schindler

I feel like not showing what the daughter was torn apart by just tells us that it doesn’t matter, no matter what tears her apart, her family and her music will save her

Mex

thank you for the validation of my x-men charles xavier thoughts!

Verush

Oh that wasnt my intention at all but i see how it sounded now, I was just looking forward to artists I do know and follow, so I'm just confused with the "timeline" if the girls have one. Anyway, I'm sorry, and thanks for your answer.

Sammi

You must watch we can’t be friends - will answer all of your questions

Jenny MacRunnel

I'm speechless...that was incredible and I cried at the end

AshZ

That’s what I get for watching this before bed lol

Takara

THATS ARI’S ACTUAL DAD IN THE VIDEO!! He’s just wearing a beard and wig before he brings her back to life

Meghan Carty

It could be, but the Kate Winslet's character's name in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was named Clementine, so it could simply be a play on that.

kaelynnnmae

I don’t know if it’s already been said but another ari reconnecting with her dad fun fact- when she did wicked she chose to be credited at “Ariana Grande Butera” instead of just grande and surprised her dad with it. 😭 (her dads last name is butera) she’s said that this whole era has felt like coming back home and honoring the little girl who dreamed of growing up and having the opportunities she currently has, and after watching this it’s clear she credits so much of that to her family. so so sweet. 💛💛💛

Jenny

I don't know if they've 100% confirmed they're reacting to either! But if they do, my guess would be they just aren't in a rush to listen to them in comparison to say a Taylor album that they want to listen to straight away, or even this Ariana content because Bonny is an Ariana fan so probably wanted to watch this quickly. Also they probably have a filming schedule with other video ideas included so album reactions need to slot in around pre-existing plans (thinking about the fact that the turnaround from Selena's announcement to release wasn't very long). It's also possible that they've already filmed these reactions and we just aren't aware where they are in the posting schedule!

Hannah

😅🫶

avieon

hey, I love you guys’s videos and I’m a huge Ariana Grande fan so just to give you some context the burning of the toys in the beginning was from the we can’t be friends music video🧸

Annika 📍Melb, AU

I don’t think she would have been credited as Ariana Grande-Butera in Wicked unless she has rekindled her relationship with her father 🥹 This short film was honestly TOO MUCH for meee 😭

Darya 🤍

I nominate Emily’s “damn 🤔 dAmN 🤨 is she getting into some daddy issues shit here?” as my favorite moment in chats and reacts history. Someone turn that shit into a meme or discord sticker or something

Darya 🤍

“You fucking edged me” I’m cracking up

Esther Michaut

you NEEEEED to watch the "we can't be friends" music video to fully understand the concept of the short film, everything is connected

Katrina Albert

Guys I think it was actually Ari’s real dad even when he looked like a pirate in the video!

Jordan Bush

Oh gosh, my first kiss I was fifteen and he kissed me. I mean he’s married now… hmm. I don’t think I’d want to relive it. I remember how heavy my chest felt. Didn’t know it was anxiety at the time, but that’s definitely what it was.

Verush

definitely, we shall see, thank you! :)

sleepless_dream (Lauren)

it's based on the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which is where a company erases your memories of a loved one.

Daniel Youngelman

GUYS ITS HER ACTUAL FATHER PLAYING THE DOCTOR ITS ED BUTERA 😭😭😭😭 ruined me

Daniel Youngelman

Yes!!!!! He fully was the doctor and it makes me SOB

Juliana Martinez

right it’s so fun! i’m a sucker for sexy songs tho. love me some sabrina and taylor’s sexy songs are usually faves! a la imgonnagetyouback, dress, wildest dreams, glitch. so it’s not surprising i love dandelion!

Amanda Saul

I also think she was torn apart by the aliens when she was abducted! Double meaning for sure though

Teheanna3

I desperately need you guys to listen to her album ‘sweetner’! Its my all time favorite album!! So so beautiful

kenna🪽

~some ariana lore~ hello girlies!! not only am i a swiftie but i have been a big fan of ariana since about 2016! i thought i’d mention some cool things about her:) she is actually a huge movie fan and loves to reference movies in her music videos! for example, back in 2019 when she released her album thank u, next she had a thank u, next music video which referenced some of her favorite rom-coms! she included legally blonde, bring it on, 13 going on 30, and mean girls! that being said here is what she referenced in this short film even though it looks like you picked up on a couple already haha she references x-men with the memory room, war of the worlds with the “snake robot” & disastrous scene outside the house, specifically with the airplane crash! she also references harry potter with the liquid drop visual, inside out with the memory spheres, and frankenstein which is self explanatory:) i even got a tim burton vibe with the way the flowers bloomed towards the end. which makes sense why she would do that. i believe there’s more but those are the ones i have spotted myself so far. also - twilight zone ! she lovvveessss horror movies and the tv show the twilight zone! she even dressed up as characters from the show a few years back for a fun halloween costume! she loves doing little things like that as well. she even had a jaws themed birthday party when she was a kid lol! as for her looping machine, she actually has been doing that since she first started her career. she would even sometimes loop on stage at her concerts. she did this because of her favorite artist of all time, someone we all know and love the amazing imogen heap! ariana specifically loved learning about imogen’s glove technique! it’s very fascinating to watch. “peaches” is the name she has been calling her character for the eternal sunshine era! we first saw it in the ‘we can’t be friends’ music video! which i recommend watching to better understand this short film! it’s kind of a whole story which refers back to the movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. with all that said i’m not sure if you girls are wanting to react to more of ariana’s music but if you do, i recommend starting her discography from start to finish! i think reacting in chronological order is the easiest way to understand her story and how she got to where she is today:)

Hayley 🫶🏻✨

The prequel is the we can’t be friends music video 🫶🏻✨ my favourite part is the Harry Potter reference 🧙🏻‍♀️ (each part is a different movie reference)

Cookiee

WAIT GUYS! Did you not react or watch We Can't Be Friends the music video? Cause that's where it all started with her removing her memories of her ex husband.

Cookiee

YES she was torn apart by a broken heart and he brought her back to live with music. I can't even type this without crying. Her family and music/Wicked healed her.

Katie LaFave

is it just me or the does the beginning of warm remind anyone of cool for the summer by demi lavato?? they're both max martin songs!!!

Hannah Sword

Love this comment!! <3 As a long-time Ari fan, I second everything Kenna said!

Brooke Noelle

I think assuming torn apart by the public makes sense, especially since her heart and mind were left in the pub… aka public house 🙃

Madison Sturdevant

Did you guys watch the "we can't be friends" music video?? I genuinely can't remember and I feel like it's such important context for this short film!!!! The bear and the necklace are both from that music video! <3

Breezy Bumbles

Speaking of kissing…..does anyone else think that this is such a weird thing to do? Like, who decided one day that they wanted to put their mouth in someone else’s mouth? How did we all just accept this as normal behaviour?? Ewwww! Why do we do this?

Breezy Bumbles

That was beautiful. I am very impressed.

Jamie

lol it is kinda gross when you think of it. and even grosser? idk if this is true... but I've always heard that the person you make out with, their spit particle tiny things live in your mouth for 7 years!!!!

Jamie

did you guys NOT watch "we can't be friends" mv ?? you're not getting the references fro that all 😭 lol that was her entire last album theme

Nin Reckermann

it's so funny that Bonny Reputation-Stan Rebecca is scared of snakes

Becky

Bonnie your hair....amazing!

Kaela Lenz

Please watch the behind the scenes footage of this short film, just an added bonus 😁

Izzzy Federgreen

Desperately hoping yall watch her other music videos so that you can fathom the details here

Sultan

Please react to her other album we would live thatt

khushi04

her dad’s necklace pulling her up because she recently reconnected w him and took his name for wicked (which indirectly healed her after all the backlash) 😭😭😭

khushi04

and he “stitched” her back up and music revived her!!!! omg girl this mv is SO MUCH

Barb 🔆
