Can we COPE with this hairstyle change? Ofc. Pigtails all the way.

The news of Ariana's new single comes after she released the AMAZING video for her 2018 track 'thank u, next'. The video, which features an appearance from Kris Jenner, referenced and recreated a number of noughties teen movies, including Bring It On and Mean Girls.

And eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice a 'hint' in the video that her next track would be '7 Rings'.

In the video for 'thank u, next', Ariana can be seen driving a black sports car with a licence plate saying '7 RINGS'.
