What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here
with Clevver News and we have to tell y’all
what Lady Gaga did to Ariana Grande!
Gaga and Grande teamed up earlier this year
for their hit song, ‘Rain on Me,’ which
was released on May 22. The hit song debuted
at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and
has been nominated for seven MTV Video Music
Awards.
The accompanying music video, directed by
Robert Rodriguez, has also garnered critical
acclaim. Lady Gaga recently released a new
episode of her series, Gagavision, showing
behind-the-scenes footage of the rehearsal
and the actual music video shoot.
The four minute, forty second video was filmed
between February 20th and 24th, and is packed
with great footage, including a glimpse into
the relationship between Gaga and Grande.
One of the biggest reveals of the video was
that Lady Gaga actually SCRATCHED Ariana’s
eye. That’s right, the two singers had a
bit of an accident during rehearsals.
“Richard, I shanked her with my nail by
accident dancing. What happened? Lady Gaga
scratched my eye. It’s an honor. I hope
it scars.”
Clearly Ariana doesn’t have any ill will
towards Gaga. The two continued to joke about
it as Gaga tried to give Ari some TLC.
“How’s it look? It looks hard. I feel
like I was in an action movie. NO!! No Neosporin.
Give me your face. No no no no no no no! Stop
stop stop. I want it to stay. Listen to your
Mom!!! Ahhhh, oh my god, you’re two days
older than me. You have a scratch on your
face. You can’t get infected before the
video. Please let me put some Neosporin on
it!”
For those keeping score at home, Lady Gaga
is actually seven years older than Ariana.
In the video, Ariana brought up how she was
a big fan of Gaga’s when she was younger.
“You know what your fans are doing today?
What? Because they think something is happening
and they’re, like, onto us. They’re now
digging through everything that I’ve ever
done and, like, pulling up all the old embarrassing
videos of me singing your songs and stuff.
Oh, amazing. And being, like, dressed as you
and they’re like claiming it. Oh, that’s
so cute.”
It’s clear the two singers have genuine
love and respect for each other, as seen at
the end of the video when the two wrapped
up the shooting of the music video.
“Oh my god, are you serious? I love you
so much.”
The two artists also Tweeted out more love
around the release of the song, with Gaga
saying, QUOTE; “Thank you for reminding
me I’m strong, I’m super emotional and
love you so very much, I cherish you @ArianaGrande
and little monsters without you I don’t
know how I would survive. I’d rather be
dry, but at least I’m alive.”
Ariana also Tweeted a loving tribute to her
“Rain on Me” co-singer, Tweeting, QUOTE;
“one time ..... i met a woman who knew pain
the same way i did... who cried as much as
i did, drank as much wine as i did, ate as
much pasta as i did and who’s heart was
bigger than her whole body. she immediately
felt like a sister to me.”
Let’s hope “Rain On Me” isn’t the
last time these two superstars collaborate.
For real though, this is my anthem! For more
