This, along with the depiction of a relationship with a man played by Evan Peters being wiped from her memory, has intensified speculation.

Fans are dissecting lyrics that hint at the painful end of an episode in Grande's life and the complexities of new beginnings. The likeness of the male leads in the video to both Gomez and Slater has not gone unnoticed.

Grande herself has shared that the video allows for different interpretations, aligning with the personal experiences and perspectives of the audience.

A Concept Album Years in the Making

With Eternal Sunshine being described as a concept album by Grande, fans await a journey through what the artist promises to be a vulnerable and authentic narrative, bridging the gap between personal experience and public expectation.

Meanwhile, Grande and Slater's blossoming romance in the aftermath of Grande's split from Gomez has captured the public's attention, leading to fervent scrutiny and speculation.

As the pop world watches Grande navigate her new relationship status with Slater, following the close timing of both their separations and Grande's finalized divorce in October, the attention now turns to how this might reflect in her artistry.
