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.
After the shotgun nature of their engagement, rumors the hitmaker was pregnant inevitably followed, although she quickly shot them down.
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.
It then quickly cuts to a completely naked Ariana, lying in a pool of lavender marbling paint floating on water, the colors alone barely covering her modesty... while the shape of the paint in the water from above is unmissably suggestive too.

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.

Ariana — who has thankfully enjoyed a very sheltered existence from the internet if these PC insults are the worst she's encountered — scoffs as 'B*tch / Dumb / Fake / Hoe / Stupid / Annoying / Little girl / Talentless / Sucks / Trash' and — bizarrely — 'Adult baby' bounce off her.
Things get even racier again when she next takes up position sitting legs splayed apart on top of planet Earth, suggestively fingering a swirling storm between her thighs.

Then comes the most bizarre part of all — quite possibly an artistic suggestion from her SNL funnyman hubby-to-be.

The music suddenly jars to a halt to show an arid lake-bed, pockmarked with gopher-holes, before the gopher from Caddyshack emerges and inexplicably screams deafeningly at the camera, before the music resumes as if nothing had happened.
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.
Keeping the symbolism literal, she swings a sledgehammer-sized judge's gavel and smashes the glass ceiling above her.
After that there's more dancing in the shower of golden light emanating from between another pair of splayed female legs.
The video heads to a close like the godmother of all religiously sexual charged videos — Madonna's Like A Prayer — with Ariana surround by a habit wearing choir who join her in the chorus.
The final shot depicts a gold corseted Grande herself as God a la Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel ceiling... in which Adam has also been subbed out for Eve.
