Ariana Grande’s music video collaboration with Alexa Meade – “God is a Woman” – is nominated by the MTV Video Music Award for Best Special Effects.
Alexa Meade worked together with a full team – among them director Dave Meyers, Producer Nathan Scherrer, VFX Mathematic Studio, and art co-conspirator Sheila Vand.
In Ariana Grande’s video #GIAW, the single off her album “Sweetener”, director Dave Meyers (known for his work with Kendrick Lamar and SZA) was assisted on set by artist Alexa Meade.

Alexa Meade’s vision was to have Ariana Grande swim in a sea of pastel colors. Alexa was inspired by previous work she’s done with Sheila Vand. The colors of purple and the simplistic, yet detailed work put into this music video has not gone unrecognized by the public.
