Ariana Grande thinks you would believe her if she told you that she invented Post-Its.
After Doughnut Gate, the singer tried to convince us that she weaponized her saliva out of concern for America's increasingly obese children. Now Grande wants you to believe that she "accidentally" Instagrammed a video of her kissing her Victorious castmate, Liz Gillies. As if accidentally Instagramming videos is a thing people, much less tech savvy millennials, actually do.

my favorite video of all time @lizgillz. (p.s. this was totally posted by accident ) A video posted by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on Oct 5, 2015 at 10:28pm PDT
The video itself is confounding. Gillies and Grande make sure they look pretty before leaning in for a quick peck. Giles runs away screaming while Grande shrieks and fans herself.
It brings up a lot of questions. Are Ariana Grande's lips venomous? Did she actually mean to keep the video private to avoid incriminating herself for the kiss-related murder of a Nickelodeon television star?
We'll probably never know.
What we do know is this: After the clip broke free from Grande's phone and was publicly shared on Instagram, Grande edited the caption and sent a few tweets explaining that she didn't mean to share it with the entire world.

I WAS EDITING IT IN INSTA TO SEND TO HER AND IT POSTED ACCIDENTALLY BUT ITS GREAT SO WHATEVER — Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) October 6, 2015
We'll assume Grande meant intended to send the video via Instagram's Direct Message feature, which most people forget about because Snapchat exists. Which is certainly possible, but making that mistake isn't as simple as pressing one wrong button.
It's even less likely when you consider Grande's claim that she accidentally posted the clip while she was editing it, which would mean Grande went through an additional wrong step to get where we are now.
We'd have one less problem without trust issues, Ariana.
