Ariana Grande<\/a> paid tribute to the original queens of “The Boy Is Mine” by having Brandy and Monica make a special cameo appearance in the music video for her reimagined version of their 1998 hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grande’s latest single’s highly anticipated visuals dropped on Friday, and show the 30-year-old singer concocting a love potion to make a fictional mayor, played by <\/span>Gossip Girl<\/span><\/em>‘s Penn Badgley, fall for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before the plot kicks into high gear, viewers are treated to a fleeting but memorable moment featuring Brandy and Monica. As Grande watches a news report about the city’s rat infestation on TV, the broadcast cuts to the R&B duo, who sang the original “The Boy Is Mine” song in 1998, as they introduce the mayor’s segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their cameo serves as a touching full-circle moment, with Grande tipping her hat to the iconic artists whose chart-topping smash inspired her modern rendition and bold reinterpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The music video shows Grande in her sultriest persona yet, depicting her as a feline femme fatale hellbent on seducing Badgley’s oblivious mayor.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In a way, I was kind of like, ‘This is a very bad idea,'” the pop star admitted to <\/span>Apple Music’s Zane Lowe<\/a> about deciding to remake “The Boy Is Mine.” “But there is a large group of my fans that really do love a bad girl anthem, and this is an elevated version of that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Grande stoked anticipation for the music video all week long, at one point sharing a TikTok of Badgley dancing to “The Boy Is Mine” that fueled speculation that the <\/span>You <\/span><\/em>actor would be featured as her co-star. The night before the visual’s release, she performed the sultry track on <\/span>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/span><\/em>, and openly gushed over Badgley.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve been a fan of [him] my entire life,” she told Fallon. “It was just so amazing to work with him. I’m such a fan.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Boy Is Mine” serves as the third single from Grande’s Billboard 200 number-one album,\u00a0<\/span>Eternal Sunshine,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>to receive a music video. This follows the choreography showcase for her lead single, “Yes, And?” — inspired by Paula Abdul — and an <\/span>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/span><\/i> homage for “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” starring Evan Peters. Both of those previous singles topped the Hot 100 chart.<\/span><\/p>\n
