Ava Max transformed herself into a patriotic pin-up model for the racy music video for her new single Wet, Hot American Dream arriving just in time for the States' July 4th Independence Day

SCANDALOUS! Ava Max Spills Secrets, Shows Skin, and Sizzles in Racy Music Video for "Wet, Hot American Dream" Just in Time for Independence Day

Get ready for a Fourth of July fireworks display that's not just about the pyrotechnics – it's about Ava Max's sizzling new music video for her latest single, "Wet, Hot American Dream"! The 31-year-old pop sensation has transformed herself into a patriotic pin-up model, parading her petite frame in a red string bikini and matching high-heeled boots in front of a massive American flag. Talk about making an entrance!

RED-HOT Rendezvous

In it, the 31-year-old pop star paraded her petite 5ft1in figure in a red string bikini and matching high-heeled boots in front of a massive American flag

In the wild clip, Max – born Amanda Koçi – flaunts her signature lopsided extensions while reenacting clichéd American summer tropes like playing with a garden hose, eating hot dogs, and licking watermelon. And let's not forget the gratuitous shots of her underboob cleavage while swinging around a baseball bat in a dangerously-cropped jersey! Fans are going wild for the sultry performance!

DIRTY SECRETS AND FANTASIES

The song's suggestive lyrics have fans begging for more: "So, don't be shy / Show me yours and I'll show you mine" – a clear nod to her provocative music video. Max even sings about wanting to be your "blue jean, white tee, wet, hot American dream." And we can't help but wonder what secrets she's hiding behind those sultry lyrics...

Ava (born Amanda Koçi) whipped around her signature lopsided extensions in the wild clip filled with clichéd American summer tropes like pick-up trucks, playing with a garden hose, eating hot dogs, and licking watermelon

FIREWORKS ON THE FOURTH!

But don't worry, folks – this sizzling new single is just the beginning. Max will be performing live during Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular on NBC this Friday at 8pm ET. And it gets even better: she'll be joined by Ariana DeBose, Lenny Kravitz, Jonas Brothers, Trisha Yearwood, Keke Palmer, and Eric Church for a night to remember!

THE MAKING OF A SUPERSTAR

Max - who's frequently accused of being a derivative Lady Gaga lookalike - made sure to flash her underboob cleavage while swinging around a baseball bat in a dangerously-cropped jersey

So, what's behind Max's transformation? In an exclusive interview with People on May 30, she revealed that she'd previously "let the comments get to me" – but no more! She started loving herself, working out more, and taking time for herself. And the results are absolutely stunning!

RECORD-BREAKING SUCCESS

With over 13.4M social media followers and an average of 32M monthly listeners on Spotify, Max is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Her breakthrough single "Sweet but Psycho" reached No. 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 in 22 other countries back in 2018 – and it's clear she's only just getting started!

The Wisconsin-born daughter of Albanian immigrants sang: 'Tell me all your dirty secrets (Uh-huh) / All your fantasies (Like me?) / I wanna be your blue jean, white tee, wet, hot American dream / I'm not like other cowgirls (Uh-huh) / Unless you want me to be'

DON'T CLICK PLAY – COMING SOON!

Mark your calendars for August 22, when Atlantic Records will release Max's third studio album Don't Click Play, featuring previously released singles Lovin Myself and Lost Your Faith. And if that's not enough, get ready for her 31-date Don't Click Play Tour, kicking off on September 3 at the Greek Theatre in LA!

STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

Ava's suggestive lyrics also included: 'Hit you up, Friday night / Pick up truck, baby, let's drive / Nice and slow, take control / This ain't my first time ridin' at the rodeo'
