Ariana Grande continues her quest to show the world she’s all grown up with a sultry new music video for her track “Into You.”
The Dangerous Woman singer shows off her serious pipes with a music video that features a forbidden romance set against a desert background.
In the Hannah Lux Davis-directed video, Grande and her love interest (played by Don Benjamin) dance, drink and fool around in and around a kitschy motel before it’s revealed that he’s also her bodyguard and their antics are actually a secret affair that she’s hiding from her bourgie, Bellini-swilling boyfriend.
