Shortly after Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj performed their duet "Side to Side" at the VMAs on Sunday night, Ariana debuted the official music video for the song via Guess. The VMA performance was clearly inspired by this video (directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who also directed Ariana's "Into You" video), because Ariana repeated her role as a cool spinning instructor decked out in neon pink, only here she's wearing a baseball cap with a hole cut in the top of it for her ponytail. The ponytail needs its space, OK?
Later, Ariana hits the boxing gym in heels, until meeting up with Nicki in a sauna full of shirtless men. Where is this gym, and are they accepting new members? Nicki and Ariana remain cool in the face of all those biceps, though, and enjoy each other's company like there aren't even any shirtless men there at all. Witness this bubble gum moment:
And this back-to-back dance move:
Who needs men when you can do this with your hair?
