Ariana Grande is stepping into a new character as she brings the world of Petal to life, with the pop star posting a teaser for a visual arriving on the same day as her new album in which she stars as an aspiring entertainer named Pepper.
In the retro-looking black-and-white clip shared Tuesday (July 28), Grande enters a waiting room and approaches a receptionist, who ignores her initially. “Hello, I’m Pepper. I’m here for the audition today,” she says perkily.
