Away from posting super cute photos of herself, Ariana has just dropped her brand new song 'Boyfriend'. After releasing the song, Ariana also shared a behind-the-scenes video from the 'Boyfriend' music video.

The short black and white video features Ariana dancing on set with a feather boa in her hands. Ari captioned her video, 'this is what a fifteen hour day on one hour of sleep looks like. behind the scenes montage by @alfredoflores out now. swipe up on my story to peep.' [sic]
