Ariana Grande has given the strongest hint yet that she is pregnant.
The 25-year-old released the sensual video for her new track God Is A Woman on Friday, and while there is a lot going on, it is one point in particular that sent fans wild with speculation.
The singer, depicted as a photo-realistic sketch, turns profile to camera and cradles her stomach, only for it suddenly blossom into a perfectly rotund bump, report Daily Mail.
"But you different from the rest / And boy, if you confess, you might get blessed / See if you deserve what comes next," she sings, presumably at new fiance Pete Davidson.

However many online commenters took the scene from the music vid as a sign she may indeed be expecting.
Of course, the video is filled with many references to Mother Nature besides, to go with the theme of Ariana's presumed prowess in the bedroom making her unnamed lover believing that 'God is a woman.'
It opens with giant Ariana, dressed in knee high boots and a tiny silver skirt, standing on a dwarfed planet, grinding her hips at the center of a galaxy orbiting around them.

The sensual scenes come thick and fast, as her naked silhouette is then transported to a bed, its mattress made up only of writing naked, foam-covered men.
The superstar, clearly predicting the controversy she hopes to cause with the sexual religious theme, next shows she is impervious to criticism.
Sitting giant sized once more in an open book, she stares down six angry little men who quite literally hurl abuse at her, in the form of materialized words.

Briefly she is seen on her knees, feeding three tiny men from some extra teet.
A second break in the music is not far off though, this time for Ariana to recite Samuel L Jackson's famous not-quite-accurate Eziekel 25:17 quote from Pulp Fiction — subbing in "sisters" for "brothers", of course.
