Alessia Cara Breaks More Rules in New Music Video for 'Seventeen'

The video’s backdrop is Cara riding a bus, but traces her life from being a young girl to an old woman. Halfway through, we can see the rising pop star all dressed up and holding a Grammy. Cara has not yet been nominated for an award, but that honor is likely to come.

When asked by a Twitter user what the image was supposed to mean, Cara responded with “it symbolizes my hopes for long-term success in my career. putting it out into the universe, in other words.”

The singer also wrote a description of the video’s meaning in a description posted to Vevo, writing, “It’s a personal song and video for me (starring my family and friends, as usual) and I’m excited it’s finally out for u guys to see. Hope it’ll remind u to enjoy all the little moments in life, especially this time of year. Thank u for making mine that much more special. Happy holidays & enjoy the video.”
