This playful music video from February 2017 featured many steamy romantic PDA sessions. Among them, a lesbian couple who were very much in the heat of passion. Here, Ariana played down the "shock-value" of a lesbian on-screen kiss to prove that sometimes, a kiss is just a kiss.

In 2018 Ariana collaborated with openly gay musician Troye Sivan in his hit song Dance To This.
