The pop star announced she'd be taking a break from the public eye shortly after the visual dropped.

Ariana Grande is standing by her “Petal” music video, which recently thrust her into the center of heightened public scrutiny concerning her appearance.
In a Wednesday (Aug. 5) post on Instagram — under which the pop star limited comments — Grande shared behind-the-scenes snaps of herself and her costars on set of the visual, which dropped five days prior. In one photo, she and director Christian Breslauer observe a monitor showing the camera’s angle while filming a scene in which she stands covered in fake blood, and in another picture, a friend laughs while groping one of the artificial breasts Grande sported during a different scene.
