Ariana Grande’s ‘Positions’ Video Envisions a Woman in the Oval Office
In the music video for her latest single “Positions,” pop superstar Ariana Grande invites viewers to imagine a world where a woman occupies the highest office in the United States.
The cinematic visual opens with Grande striding confidently through the hallways of the White House, dressed in a tailored suit and heels. She is then shown inhabiting various positions of power – from sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office to leading a cabinet meeting.
By placing herself in the role of the President of the United States, Grande seems to be making a bold statement about female empowerment and ambition. The video’s director, Dave Meyers, notes that it’s “a fantasy, but it also speaks to the growing desire among young women to shatter the glass ceiling of politics and take on positions of immense responsibility and authority.”
Throughout the video, Grande exudes an air of confidence and authority as she navigates the corridors of the White House. The visual language draws clear parallels between the singer’s own rise to fame and the journey of a female politician seeking the highest office in the land.
“Ariana has always been unafraid to use her platform to make powerful statements,” Meyers adds. “With ‘Positions,’ she’s imagining a world where a woman like her could become the most powerful person on the planet. It’s an empowering fantasy that I think a lot of her fans will connect with.”
The video’s release comes at a pivotal moment in American politics, with the 2020 presidential election just weeks away. While Grande has not officially endorsed any candidate, the “Positions” video’s implicit messaging about female leadership in government is sure to resonate with many viewers.
Whether the video is meant as pure escapism or a subtle political statement, one thing is clear: Ariana Grande is continuing to push the boundaries of what is expected from a modern pop star. With “Positions,” she’s inviting her fans to imagine a future where the most powerful office in the land is occupied by a strong, confident woman.
