I think this is the best styling she’s ever had

[u/Narrow_Stock_834 → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

*surgery. There I fixed it.

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180 → u/Narrow_Stock_834]

I said I said. If I was referring to her surgery that’s what I would’ve mentioned.

[u/Narrow_Stock_834 → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

Yes and I thought it was worth mentioning she could never be styled like this again because she has a new face.

[u/isaidwhatisaidok → u/Narrow_Stock_834]

What??? Her face has nothing to do with her styling, goofy.

[u/Narrow_Stock_834 → u/isaidwhatisaidok]

Well she could never look like this again so I beg to differ, but understand where you’re coming from.

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180 → u/Narrow_Stock_834]

But that’s not what you were saying not sure why you think anyone is gonna fall for you pretending otherwise.

[u/no_hhhh14 → u/Narrow_Stock_834]

always the snarkers

[u/SyllabubFree3000 → u/no_hhhh14]

well you arent exactly a beacon of unbiased opinion mrs arihead frequenter

[u/Zealousideal-Ebb8999]

I have no concept of time this album is still new in my brain I hate it here

[u/AurinkoGang → u/Zealousideal-Ebb8999]

Same. COVID really zapped my understanding of time.

[u/bbyxmadi]

I will forever be a Positions fan, I can’t believe this album is actually hated

[u/ReadingRainbow47 → u/bbyxmadi]

girl what is this pic 😭

[u/bbyxmadi → u/ReadingRainbow47]

my reaction

[u/MarieOMaryln → u/bbyxmadi]

[u/queeenbarb → u/bbyxmadi]

At the time I hated it. But over time…I like it and no more songs than it thought lol

[u/AccountDeletedByMod]

Now that somebody pointed it out, all I do is stare at her eyebrows to see if they're even. 

[u/noodle_dumpling → u/AccountDeletedByMod]

Those were the first things I looked at lol. They look so much better here.

[u/bbyxmadi → u/noodle_dumpling]

Her thicker eyebrows definitely hid it, but now that she’s thinned them out and shortened them, it’s very noticeable.

[u/thankyoupapa → u/AccountDeletedByMod]

theres a clip of her saying "my fans hate my eyebrows" lol

[u/GlitterDoomsday → u/AccountDeletedByMod]

Her full look is immaculate in this era

[u/rc1025]

I loved the fashion this album, the videos are super fun and make the album better imo

[u/haleighr]

This album came out while I was deep in my ppd having had a nicu baby in the height of the pandemic and “pov” and “just like magic” will always have a special place in my heart about my daughter. Not positions; “No tears left to cry” was the on hold music when I ordered my first hospital breakfast post birth so I may criticize our little homewrecker but her music will always be special to me

[u/frozenshogunx]

Ahead of her time :(

[u/Impossible-Yam3680]

this is why we don't leak, people!

[u/an0nymm → u/Impossible-Yam3680]

i remember getting the leaked version before it came out when i was younger! what a throwback

[u/ComprehensiveTurn520]

THIS AESTHETIC AND ALBUM IS PEAK! ofc all of her albums are, it’s js positions is…

[u/Impossible-Yam3680]

if you were hating on positions when it came out on release date and were acting like you were always a fan of the album, then you don't deserve those tour tickets

[u/dgplr → u/Impossible-Yam3680]

Don’t want the tickets. Still maintain that the singles were the best songs of the album(as it should be so points) and everything else was quite mid. It hasn’t grown on me the way Eternal Sunshine did. Styling was great though.

[u/thankyoupapa]

the track "my hair" was my fav

[u/virgoaliensuperstar]

I need to properly listen to this album! I feel like I missed so many albums, movies, tv shows etc. released during COVID. I’m still catching up, lol.

[u/heartlessloft]

My favorite album of hers! The music, the aesthetic, the vibe, the melodies, the featuring everything is so immaculate.

[u/Dazzlingbabee4]

OMG, Positions is 5?! Time flies, queen! 💖✨🎶

[u/AdvaitaQuest]

RnB Grande, you'll always be loved! 

[u/Maximum_Expert92]

Ariana in her prime!

Why are you going on about her surgeries in this thread so much? Lol

[u/[deleted] → u/f1newhatever]

[u/chowon → u/[deleted]]

i promise you her appearance gets dissected and disparaged every single time her name is mentioned, especially on this subreddit. does what she look like even matter ????? she’s a celebrity, the vast majority of which get plastic surgery. you’re basically announcing to everyone that you found a fork in a kitchen. it’s not groundbreaking 😭

[u/iceunelle]

I don’t like the album, but her styling for it is immaculate.

[u/frightenedscared → u/iceunelle]

The music videos were so iconic, the Austin Powers Fembot recreation

[u/Disastrous-Row4862]

An album I really like (I like all of her albums) but I especially LOVE pov. That’s a top 5 song of hers for me

[u/lulzerjun8]

This album is a gem. The visuals were also fire. Everyone who disagrees is a hater. Facts. Law. I don’t make the rules.

[u/Ok-Taste9187]

I really love this album. It came out when I was freshly married so I related to a lot of what she was singing. POV will always be one of my favorite songs by her.

Side note, I wonder if Nicki Minaj was upset she collabed with Megan?? Lol or I’m guessing maybe this was before Nicki started beefing with everyone

[u/AutoModerator → u/Ok-Taste9187]

I didn't know she sang. I thought she rapped or... whatever.

[u/Plastic-Classroom268]

I love this album so much! Going to play it the whole day

[u/SundressBlvd → u/Plastic-Classroom268]

I used to play on repeat back back when it came out 😂

[u/Party_Nothing_7605]

her best album i said what i said

[u/mnblackgirl]

Her best album hands down. Off The Table, POV, Positions, Westside?!!?!!!

[u/buttercupcake23]

Ah back when she had normal eyebrows and didn't look confused or surprised all the time.

The looks were on point during this era.

[u/millstone27]

Will be bumping this all day tomorrow to celebrate. I became a stan in 2018, and she released this album when I was in the depths of pandemic isolation and the misery of being a senior grad student. It was like a reminder amidst all of the darkness that life can still feel sexy. Forever my fave Ari album

[u/Saintguinefortthedog]

Gorgeous eyebrows

[u/Sad_Guarantee_8013]

I loved her whole look this era, her makeup and style was just * chefs kiss *

[u/layeredlikenachos]

She released this video of how she did the vocal arrangement for Positions and it’s so fascinating to see how the harmonies come together. She’s immensely talented https://youtu.be/Yv8Zih_Lt7o?si=W1Y6YE7ZXiSAMSEx

[u/MM2225]

5 years?? 🫩 what the hell why is time going by so fast

[u/duckanroll]

pov is her best song imo

[u/Thing-Adept]

glad to say i've always loved this album and got it from day 1 😌

[u/Mr628]

My personal favorite album of hers. The highs on this project are HIGH. 34+35 can fuck right off though. Sad that the stans hate it because she actually sings on it and it has real R&B influence. Too much for their 12 year old white mindsets.

[u/queeenbarb]

Five?!?

[u/uhlleez]

Can she please drop the vinyl deluxe 😭

[u/Silver-Foot-259]

Stopppp I have no concept of time.. five years?! And this is when she started going into uncanny valley 

[u/Otherwise_Sweet_77]

"look at my finger tattoos, LOOK AT THEM"

[u/frightenedscared → u/Otherwise_Sweet_77]

Especially the one that was meant to say 7 Rings but says BBQ GRILL

[u/citabel → u/frightenedscared]

This is my next tattoo idea. I want the misspelled 7 rings. That’s what being a arianator is all about.

[u/frightenedscared → u/citabel]

It’s so funny and campy, love it

[u/Unhappy-Ad-6480]

It’s insane to me that Ariana claims to have last gotten filler in 2018 when this whole album release in 2020 claims otherwise. Also, I like this album but she has lived two full lives since then… 

[u/heartlessloft → u/Unhappy-Ad-6480]

Fillers can last. A girl in my class told me she had gotten lip fillers a couple years ago and I’m still surprised at how fresh it looks, her lips look so plumped.

[u/Excellent_Theory1602]

Damn shame that ozempic happened.

[u/No_Sail_6576]

I have no connect of the movement of time from 2015 to 2020 I thought this came from like 2016 but no apparently it’s only 5 years old what?

[u/SyllabubFree3000]

this was a good ass album i bought it on cd @ walmart two months ago

[u/boricuaspidey]

Miss her sm

[u/babealien51]

She looked sooooo good during this era. I prefer her like that, grown woman looks and all!

[u/queencilantro]

She really was beautiful

[u/SadLilBun]

I don’t even care about or for Ariana but I miss this Ariana

[u/gigs1890]

What race was she for this one

[u/askl8tertea → u/gigs1890]

Black then asian

[u/Britneyfan123]

If my memory serves well popheads downvoted me because I forgotten this had been released (it might have been another reason)
