Watch Ariana Grande’s video for ‘Right There’ with Big Sean
Ariana Grande puts her well-established love of princess dresses to work in a new music video for her song “Right There.â€
The clip, which also stars Patrick “Son of the Governator†Schwarzenegger, features the two youngsters in a modern-day telling of “Romeo and Juliet,†with Big Sean (who contributes a guest verse) in the role of the priest.
Does this mean we see Grande gazing wistfully down from a balcony while wearing said princess dress? Oh, yes.

The concept also gives the bubblegum-soul singer an opportunity to bat her eyes behind a bejeweled hand fan and to dive into a swimming pool as a small crew of synchronized swimmers makes elaborate shapes in the water. (Pop & Hiss doesn’t recall the latter set piece from Shakespeare’s original, but it’s been a while.)
“Right There†is the latest single from Grande’s excellent debut, “Yours Truly,†which last month entered the Billboard album chart at No. 1. Next month she’s to take part in KIIS-FM’s Jingle Ball -- alongside Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Enrique Iglesias and others -- on Dec. 6 at Staples Center.
