Has she dropped any videos and what are the singles for this album?

Grande released two singles ahead of the album’s release, title track Thank U, Next and 7 Rings.

Both songs proved to be a hit with fans (and records) with Thank U, Next praised for paying homage to a string of teen films including Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going on 30 and Legally Blonde.

The video went on to break records, racking up 829,000 views in 24 hours before going on to amass over 88 million hits over the first weekend. It is now at a staggering 292 million views.

At the beginning of 2019 Grande treated fans to 7 Rings, showcasing her fierce personality - and bank account.

The very pink video gained approval from fans with female empowerment at its heart, having been inspired by a shopping trip Grande went on after her split with comedian Davidson, buying engagement rings for her friends.

The video hints at Grande’s journey to self-love and generally serves full queen-worthy aesthetics.

Thank U, Next is available to stream on Spotify and download on Apple Music now.
