Ariana Grande has finally released her much anticipated music video for the song ‘The Boy Is Mine’ off of her latest album ‘Eternal Sunshine.’
The singer roped in (literally) ‘Gossip Girl’ star Penn Badgley and the singers of the original 1998 ‘Boy Is Mine’ Brandy and Monica. According to Grande, the song inspired her own version.
Directed by Christian Breslauer, the music video shows a love stricken Ariana Grande who has built a shrine for the mayor (Penn Badgley). She turns on a press conference to see the mayor address the problem of rats plaguing the city while concocting a love potion for him. Once finished, she dons a Catwoman suit and breaks into his apartment. Brandy and Monica star as news reporters.
Penn Badgley shared a few BTS pictures from set with the caption - “The boy may be yours but the pleasure was all mine @arianagrande thank you for inviting me into your orbit for a moment & @christhedirector for building a little world to play in for a day. Hey ma I’m in a music video! And in the presence of @brandy and @monicadenise ?? Honoured to be alongside these icons.”
Netizens lost their minds over this collaboration with many joking that Grande is collecting “White Boys of the Month” for all her music videos.
Her last music video for the song ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ featured ‘American Horror Story’ star and heartthrob Evan Peters.

The night before the music video dropped, Grande was invited as a guest on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ where she opened up about her experience working with the ‘You’ star.
“I’ve been a fan of [him] my entire life. It was just so amazing to work with him. I’m such a fan,” Grande told Jimmy Fallon.
‘The Boy Is Mine’ marks the third single from ‘Eternal Sunshine’; the first two being ‘Yes, And? and ‘We Can’t Be Friends.’
Grande’s team is already teasing the next music video which fans are speculating to be for the song ‘True Story.’
