It's Official: Ariana Grande's 'Positions' Is a Vers Anthem
ICYMI, pop icon America's next president Ariana Grande saved 2020 after she released the music video for her brand new single "Positions" last night, and yes, it's a certified bop!
While the visuals for the track are getting praise from pop stans for being an empowering and queer-inclusive vision of what a world would look like if a woman held the highest office in the country, a certain sector of Gay Twitter™ is also excited about the fact the new song also seems to be a vers anthem. Yes, a vers anthem!
For those of you who don't know, "vers" (which is short versatile) is a slang term used by a lot of queer men to describe a person who can be either a top or a bottom during sex (i.e. someone who can switch positions). With the lyrics 'Switchin' the positions for you' and 'Know my love infinite/nothin' I wouldn't do/That I won't do, switchin' for you' featured heavily in the chorus, it's not hard to see why many vers kings and queens are claiming "Positions" as their new anthem.
