“That looks intense”: Netizens react as Ariana Grande drops a fresh look at her ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ short film

Ariana Grande dropped the teaser for her upcoming short film Brighter Days Ahead, and internet users saying:

"That looks intense.”

Singer and Songwriter Ariana Grande is coming out with a new short film, Brighter Days Ahead, directed by Christian Breslauer and Grande. The film is set to drop on Friday (March 28), along with a deluxe version of her album, Eternal Sunshine, featuring six new tracks. The pop star has been teasing the film since March 12, when she first announced the project. Since then, fans have received teasers like her recent picture featuring a brand new look after sporting the silver blonde hairdo for her Wicked character "Glinda".

The film is a supposed continuation of her 2024 music video, We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love), where Ariana's character is seen visiting a memory-wiping clinic. Her character, Peaches, is a heartbroken woman who wants all traces of her ex wiped from her hippocampus. This concept was an ode to the iconic 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

However, the latest teaser shows a much older "Peaches" coming back to the memory-wiping clinic. In the image that is shared, the One Last Time singer is seen sporting her new ginger hair color with her eyes closed. Her neck seems to be covered in stitch-like marks, hiding a scar as we can discern.The singer has also, like breadcrumbs, dropped a few other snippets from her film, showcasing a hyperfuturistic world.

The deluxe version of the album, which will be dropped simultaneously, feature the following tracks along with an extended intro.

• Twilight Zone
• Warm
• Dandelion
• Past Life
• Hampstead
