Justin Long Makes Cameo in Ariana Grande’s "Hate That I Made You Love Me" Video

Ariana Grande has released the visual for her latest single “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” a horror-inspired video starring actor Justin Long.

The clip was directed by Christian Breslauer, who shot last year’s short film “Brighter Days Ahead,” from the singer’s 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine.”

Spielberg’s go-to cinematographer, Janusz Kamiński, shot the video that opens with Long burying Grande in an underground bunker filled with stacks of black-and-white composition notebooks marked with her “insecurities.”

“Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which was released as a single last Friday, kicked off her new era in anticipation of “Petal,” her eighth studio album.

The project, set to come out on July 31 via Republic Records, was executive-produced and co-written by Grande and Ilya, who had worked with her as far back as “Dangerous Woman” and most recently on her 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine.”

Max Martin is also credited as a co-writer and producer on the new single alonside Grande and Ilya.

Grande announced “Petal” in late April, stating that the album is “something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”

Some have interpreted “Hate That I Made You Love Me” as a breakup song, while others believed it be a message to the public about its perception of her.

Grande is currently gearing up for the launch of her “Eternal Sunshine” tour, kicking off on June 6 at Oakland’s Oakland Arena.

The trek was initially pegged to her 2024 album and its deluxe edition, “Brighter Days Ahead,” though it’s likely she’ll incorporate new music from the “Petal” era.

It also may be one of the last tours she’ll be staging for the foreseeable future, as the singer recently said on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast that “I don’t want to say anything definitive… I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time.
