Ariana Grande brought back a once-deleted behind-the-scenes photo from her “God Is a Woman” music video shoot with famed photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.
For the video, which has over 137 million views on YouTube, the 25-year-old pop star was filmed nude in a pool of paint with swipes of lavender body paint covering up her breasts. Grande posted a behind-the-scenes photo showing her painted body with her arms in the air on her Instagram leading up to her single’s release over the summer, but later removed it from her feed. On Monday, Grande reposted the exact risqué shot as a throwback.
Grande captioned the photo, “titty paint.”
She also admitted that she deleted the photo and guided her fans through her thought process of reposting it by adding the hashtags, “I’ve posted this and deleted it before,” “it’s okay,” “maybe it’ll stay this time,” and “who knows.”
Deciding she didn’t want it on her grid, Grande went ahead and deleted it yet again.
When Grande first posted a topless clip from her music video on Instagram leading up to her single’s release, the star’s fiancé Pete Davidson, 24, praised her body commenting, “YUM YUM YUM.”
