Ariana Grande's new music video is a whirlwind of polka dots, faux scientific breakthroughs, and Fembots.

The visual for "34+35," directed by Director X, was released on Tuesday. It largely focuses on Grande as a scientist creating a robot version of herself, spliced with clips of sexy choreography.

In one particularly memorable moment, Grande smoothly drops into a split and then begins twerking, which pairs with the lyrics: "Got the neighbors yelling 'Earthquake!' / 4.5 when I make the bed shake."

Fans latched onto the move and immediately began to gush about it on Twitter.

"watching ariana do that split move evoked something deep within me," one person wrote, while another joked: "ariana did a split and saved 2020. the world is healing."

Grande has shown off her flexibility before — namely in her 2020 Grammys performance of "7 Rings" and in the 2015 music video for "Focus" — causing fans to joke about her own obsession with the move.

"something about ariana is that she's going to give you a split," one person wrote.

"34+35" is the second single from Grande's new album "Positions," which dropped on October 30. It has remained atop the Billboard 200, becoming just the second album by a female artist this year to reign at No. 1 for more than one week.
