Posted seemingly as part of the promotion for new single ‘You Should See Me In A Crown’, the video shows a huge tarantula crawling out of the 16-year-old Californian’s mouth and across her face.
It accompanies another teaser video which shows the singer in a crown with several spiders crawling across the crown.

The song is the follow up to her collaboration with Khlaid on ‘Lovely’ and her debut EP, ‘Don’t Smile At Me.’ The singer is currently working on her debut album whilst also touring.
The video was posted today with the simple caption: “u scared?” The answer for many seemed to be a resounding ‘yes’.
