Ariana Grande is giving us a glimpse at her future\u2014and looking back at her past.<\/p>\n

The musician and Wicked<\/em> star just dropped both a deluxe edition of her album Eternal Sunshine<\/em> and a 26-minute-long short film called Brighter Days Ahead;<\/em> the film continues the storyline of her \u201cWe Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)\u201d music video, which was inspired by the beloved 2000s movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.<\/em> The short film opens with Grande’s character Peaches\u2014 an aged-up Grande, complete with long, graying blonde hair that flows down her back instead of in her signature ponytail, a hearing aid, and wrinkles\u2014being prepped to revisit her last remaining memories.<\/p>\n

As we watch, the older version of Peaches watches the most precious and meaningful moments of her life, including a montage of Grande’s IRL parents and grandparents dancing and clips of herself as a little kid.(Trust me, you might want to watch this with a few tissues nearby.) Grande-as-Peaches wears her hair pulled halfway up and back, pinned with a handful of flower pins. Her hands are wrinkled, though she’s still wearing her go-to French manicure, which has been a mainstay in her routine for years. Her hand tattoos, most notably the fingertip designs, are present and accounted for, though they’ve faded with time. Her poppy tattoo, on the edge of one hand, still looks great though! (The special effects makeup and prosthetics were done by award-winning artist Justin Raleigh.) Throughout the short film, Grande performs a few songs from the album while Peaches watches\u2014in her ponytail, no less\u2014and walks through the wreckage of the life she left behind before stepping into her future.<\/p>\n

Brighter Days Ahead,<\/em> like the Eternal Sunshine<\/em> album and the video for \u201cWe Can’t Be Friends\u201d, is a meditation about how the joyful and painful moments of life can coexist, helping you become the person you’re meant to be. This theory shows on Grande-as-Peaches’s face, which is etched with the lines and memories. In 2023, Grande got emotional when talking about her use of injectables and why she quit using them, telling Vogue<\/em> that she wasn’t necessarily swearing them off forever, but was happy with her decision in the moment. \u201cI know for me, I was just like, oh \u2014 I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines. I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more. And I just think aging \u2026 it can be such a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
