Ariana Grande's new music video for Petal has sparked concern from fans after it showcased her alarmingly thin frame.
Elisabeth's star becomes dirtier and disregarded as time goes on in a metaphor for how her career fades with age.
Meanwhile, the cruel casting bosses in Petal resemble ruthless agent Harvey (Dennis Quaid) in the body horror film.
The death scene itself also pays tribute to Kill Bill in a homage to Uma Thurman's complicated antiheroine The Bride.
She also described Petal as being 'full of life' and 'growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging'.
