Ariana Grande’s 2014 Album Cover Is Your New Favorite Conspiracy Theory
Is she really sitting on that stool?
Ariana Grande’s 2014 album “My Everything” is getting attention on Twitter this week after BuzzFeed’s Jesse McLaren tried to re-create her pose and found it difficult ... perhaps even impossible:
I've done the research and there's no way her ass is sitting on that stool. pic.twitter.com/AIGNpcJn6G

The discussion gained steam when it was retweeted by Grande herself:
next week on mythbusters https://t.co/1tgyXtfyC6

That sparked comments, theories, stool truthers and even multiple attempts to re-create the cover, with hilariously mixed results:

She's lean and nimble, you're large and clunky. That's why she's the superstar.

But did you subject your results to a committee of your peers? Were the experiments run in a controlled, double-blind environment?

She does seem to have an unusual center of gravity.

Actually, if you could see behind her the stool looks like this pic.twitter.com/UQA48riHoG

I want a whole Grande scientific analysis, like the one done to test whether both Jack and Rose could fit on that raft.

Perhaps the stool is there but most of her weight is leaning against a black wall?

So was it a photo editing job?
Someone tweeted other images from the shoot that appeared to confirm that Grande, indeed, was seated on the stool.
