Today, October 31, 2013, Ariana Grande once again captivated audiences with the release of the official music video for “Right There,” the third single from her debut album Yours Truly. The track, featuring rapper Big Sean, now comes with a stylish and original visual interpretation that quickly became a hit on digital platforms.
Directed by Nickel LaMoreaux, the video features an aesthetic inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Ariana plays a young woman in love, attending an elegant masquerade ball in a historic mansion while discreetly searching for her “Romeo.” Throughout the video, she appears in various period-inspired outfits, surrounded by dancers dressed in Renaissance-style costumes creating a striking contrast with the song’s contemporary sound.
Big Sean appears in one of the mansion’s rooms, performing his verses while observing Ariana from a distance, enhancing the atmosphere of romance and suspense. In the final moments of the video, the two finally meet in the mansion’s garden, under a cascade of white petals a scene that quickly became one of the most shared moments on social media.
Just hours after its release, the video surpassed 1 million views on YouTube, and the hashtag #RightThereMusicVideo immediately entered worldwide Twitter trends. Fans praised both the visual production and Ariana’s performance, noting that the video “perfectly captures the romantic energy of the song.”
In an interview with JustJared, Ariana revealed that she had always wanted to create something inspired by a classic story:
“I love theater and wanted to make a more dramatic, cinematic video like a mini play. I’m really proud of how it turned out.”
Music critics also responded positively. Billboard described the video as “elegant, unexpected, and fitting for an artist who knows exactly where she’s headed.” Meanwhile, PopCrush აღნიშნა that Ariana “once again proves she can blend a sophisticated aesthetic with modern pop sound.”
With this release, Ariana Grande continues promoting Yours Truly and further establishes her presence in the music industry. All signs point to “Right There” becoming another success in her already impressive career trajectory.
