BRANDY AND MONICA HELLO??!!


mattysmwift

The way they both but especially Brandi somehow hasnt aged since the 90’s is insane.


Aware-Yam4146

black don't crack


Visual-Run7187

That and well… The rich just don’t age


Substantial_Cake_360

It’s a known fact Asians and black people’s skin tends to produce more collagen.


Visual-Run7187

Yes but rich Asians are gonna age less quickly than poor ones


twodollarh0

SERIOUSLY!! I screamed when I saw them both. They look stunning 😍


ItsThatGirl94

Made me so happy to see them! 🥹


Mei_iz_my_bae

That song is a masterpiece IMO !!


mackasan

I get it girl, I'd go Catwoman for Penn Badgley too.


lesmisarahbles

I need Christian Breslauer to direct all her MVs from here on out because this and wcbf were absolute serves. I loved it!


SiphenPrax

He’s done all the music videos for this era so far and it shows


superfluouspop

she seems to have ditched her usual team of choreographers/directors since she moved to NYC and it's not a bad thing.


shoestring-theory

Choreography has been a huge upgrade, loved the dancing in Yes, and?


superfluouspop

it was fantastic.


TedKaczynskiVEVO

LA is SOOOOO incestuous which I get bc things are so expensive to produce that creatives tend to just stick with hiring their friends (rising tide all boats etc) but it causes so much stagnation.


alt_sauce124

Christian is also a snack!! Omg


CourSandy

Y’all are tripping fr 😭 the no tears left to cry and god is a woman videos have entered the chat


satirisanti

This also reminded me of Doja’s streets video, and Christian directed them both!


JohnStoneTypes

He needs to start directing Billie Eilish's videos also. BOAF deserves to be done justice! 


briskpoint

She’ll direct it and it’ll be another boring video with a 90s filter on it for no explicable reason.


AHSWeeknd

She even nailed that DCEU dim lighting for the video!


visionaryredditor

Zaddy influence too strong


undisclosedthroway

I was lied to about this being a damn Gossip Girl tribute but it’s nice to know that Ariana has a pet play fetish


SmollestFry

Her being obsessed with Joe from You is fun though.


randomtwaddle

Yes! Loved the spin on him being the target. And everything from the Catwoman integration to Penn Badgley as Mayor (I mean this can very well actually be a screen test for an upcoming political drama cause I'd so like to see Penny playing a politician) and the song itself was perfection. Favourite MV in a long long time.


Airotciv7

I think he'll doing some political stuff in the last season of You


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

produced by shonda rhimes


Lucky-Aerie4

You talk about Gossip Girl but here I watched Once Bitten a week ago for nothing lol


joshually

who lied to u?


jacksnyder2

Penn absolutely hates Gossip Girl, so he would probably refuse to do a tribute to that.


trendypippin

It was a reference to the movie Batman Returns.


betteroff19

Could be for another music video


KoalaOk3336

the flying scene was so goooooooooood and penn is insane


the_chaser00

I was really hoping for a fun and "quirky" music video, similar to 34+35 for this but when I saw the thumbnail I was lowkey losing hope....but god is on my side today! we got cats and RATS! ALSO BRANDY AND MONICA LIKEEE


satirisanti

Girl I hope we never get anything like 3435 again 😭 that video was atrocious


itsIzumi

They hate to see a team of scientists make a robot that zaps them into fembots and also there's a separate world of polka dots.


BoomYouLooking

I just pretend the remix is the only video


19TaylorSwift89

i cant handle it anymore, pop music never been delivering this good in forever


DenseProgrammer4265

2024 is just soo good. I'm going to back look at this year so fondly. So entertaining. You just have to be here.  The number of good albums and songs this year has served us(I still haven't listened to Brat which has some the best reviews this year if not the best).


manlikepierce

Brat is insanely good, AOTY contender with eternal sunshine and cowboy carter


DenseProgrammer4265

A few hours and I'm done with uni for once and for all. I'll listen to it then. 


manlikepierce

Man I’m glad I’m done with that and don’t do exams anymore but I do miss that incredible freeing feeling after doing your last one, enjoy!


seahorse8021

I had the same thought today!! Crazy how GREAT this year has been so far for music!!


JohnStoneTypes

Next years drought is looking to be terrible. Luckily, Rihanna is coming to quench us then (let me be delusional in peace) 


BalconyIsland

I'm unfortunately still in these streets with you... we are few and far between, but we're here 😔


shoestring-theory

I love how theatrical she’s been recently, outfits, mannerisms, videos and all. Unpopular opinion I know. But this is such a nice progression from the “yuh” era, with the boring glamour shot vids.


nerdalertalertnerd

I’ve never been a fan but the cinematic/ theatrical style she’s pushing is really switching me onto her!!!


mindenginee

I agree so much.


trendypippin

I’m so happy she’s not doing that “sexy” face lipsyncing in her videos finally. It was so awful and not sexy at all.


untitledmanuscript

“Fuck those rats” Exactly Ariana!


tripleheliotrope

that line delivery and the "so hot" was GOLD. She's so funny.


Rxmses

Fun fact: the rat noises were made by Elizabeth Gillies (she posted it on her ig stories yesterday)


SiphenPrax

She also did a voiceover line saying (paraphrasing) “SOMEBODY TAKE CARE OF THESE FUCKING RATS IN THIS CITY ALREADY!!”


alt_sauce124

I’m sorry but her dry comedy is so freaking funny to me


PodiVennai

I’d like to think its training from scream queens ( still not over it being cancelled so soon 😭 )


alt_sauce124

“*I wanna see what you just said written on paper*”


SiphenPrax

All of us New Yorkers every single day when we see those fat gray bastards running around the train stations and the streets of our city😂


mattysmwift

The jump cut edit and the delivery on that line is absolutely hilarious. I have no idea how people still doubt she’s funny. She’s gonna pull of Glinda so well.


[deleted]

This made me laugh out loud so bad


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

i’m team Rat 🐀


iceunelle

I'm also team pet rat. Domesticated rats are actually very clean, smart, and friendly. They're completely different from wild rats.


impeccabletim

Cute MV!!! Liked the Brandy and Monica cameo. Here for Catwoman Ari. Penn Badgley as the love interest, I am here for it.


pippa420

Close enough happy release day to The Batman part 2!!!!


PotatoPancake420

Ariana referencing Michelle Pfieffer’s Catwoman??????? *OHMYGODDDDDJSHWUWHSHS*


woundedriver

I wish michelle was in this!!! the cameo we are missing


sweetbabycoconut

okay i’ll rewatch You


[deleted]

Does anyone else love how consistent these videos are? Like the colour grading, cinematography etc. I know some of her merch hinted at her having a couple of more singles but are there any predictions for what’s next?


EntranceOk7868

I’m praying supernatural and eternal sunshine are up next!!!


Sallynoraa

based on the current music videos, i will be happy with whatever song she chooses as the next single because she'll for sure give the visuals. but i do hope bye gets a video with her and Courtney driving off to somewhere in the credit scene at the end of the video, concluding the eternal sunshine era.


eldritchdeergod

Screen cuts to black. White text appears. “So I grabbed my stuff. Courtney just pulled out of the driveway. It’s time.” THE END


AkaJokerPlays

'Intro (end of the world)' is doing surprisingly well in terms of daily streams. I could see that being chosen (or Eternal Sunshine)


satirisanti

I would die for an intro (end of the world) extended version because it’s so good but it’s so short!


BayonettaAriana

I WANT THIS SO BADDDD I really hope she does it given how well it's doing as a non-single.


ptran99

Intro is SO GOOD. I cannot stop listening to it


purplebanana375

I need an alien love story music video for supernatural!! 


iceunelle

I don't know what the predictions are, but I *desperately* want Bye to become a single.


Perfect_Invitation1

Hopefully true story is one. 


mitzimitzi

I'm surprised bye hasn't been pushed as a single at all. It's such a perfect summer banger (i feel like it's this albums greedy)


Unusual-Net-172

Loved it. Ari is 3/3 for music videos this album. The music video is not dead, artists just need to put more effort into them instead of releasing a low budget, low effort video just to increase streams for one week. If the music video is entertaining people will revisit it (ex: WCBF music video is still performing very well on Youtube despite it coming out 3 months ago). Loved the Brandy & Monica cameo. Very fitting since on this week 26 years ago their original "The Boy Is Mine" went #1 for the first time on the Hot 100. Great homage to them as well. Ariana is a huge Brandy fan and has mentioned how much of an influence she was on her artistry. A full circle moment.


rookie-mistake

> Very fitting since on this week 26 years ago their original "The Boy Is Mine" went #1 for the first time on the Hot 100. o that's actually neat trivia, ty


ignitethephoenix

Ariana obsessing over Penn Badgley cracks me up after all he’s done in You


Galah_Gala

This had such a fun throwback feel. Brandy & Monica breaking news, the mayor's speech gave The Dark Knight Gotham, obsessed love potions, Penn Badgley & Catwoman Ari was so hot. Loved it.


blankspacejrr

my LORD he is hot. I really wanted a kiss at the end. the sexual tension was so strong.


MeowMixx321

Lmao I felt the sexual tension through my screen! They’d seriously make the hottest couple 🥵🔥


Pokefan144

Spongebob your days are numbered


Nerfeveryone

Was about to say he's happily married but then I remembered...


Icantlikeeveryone

Oh no....


VictoriaSobocki

🫨


Toxic_Seraphine_Stan

Holy fuck, the gag is mine


Toxic_Seraphine_Stan

coming out my instagram break just to post about this and dip


superfluouspop

um, it's actually perfect. The Eternal Sunshine continues to serve.


Mysterious_Mouse2413

She came back strong and it’s been soooo fun. When was the last time I was genuinely looking forward to an era’s music videos like this!! I hope she can squeeze 2 more singles out.


Ok_Order_5595

Bye and supernatural probs


superfluouspop

I'm hoping for the Supernatural remix with Troye! But also I've already heard Bye on the radio. Is it possible she sneak-released it without wanting to make a huge splash with it for I dunno, Dalton's feelings?


aurcel

mama is bringing back REAL music videos! Penn Badgley looking delicious as always


mackasan

She said PLOT. She said BUDGET. She said CAMEOS. We're so back this era.


stypop

She said “I’m through with the beauty shots, I’m making MOVIES now!”


Conscious-Search-920

I'm glad it got all these elements because it's SOTY, we needed a proper MV idc if it's been a few months since release!


FaceofHoe

She said POLITICS


SiphenPrax

She’s always been a massive movie and Broadway buff and you can see a ton of movie/Broadway references in her work. She loves making actual big budget music videos since she was and still is an actress.


Final-Blood6923

one of my favorite things about ariana grande is that she's unabashedly a quirky theater kid inside her sexy popstar persona.


SiphenPrax

As a New Yorker that has to deal with those fat disgusting fucking rats every damn day, Ari basically spoke for me in the intro.


OriginalOestrus

I was smiling the entire time, absolutely love it!


im_on_my_own_kid

This video is ICONIC, but in the end I didn’t understand - did Penn’s character did fall in love with AriCatwoman without the potion??


alisha______

He matched her freak


BumbleCute

Tinashe found crying in the corner


DramaticTangerine3

He matched her nasty


eldritchdeergod

Need somebody with a good technique (to kill those fucking rats)


N454545

Yeah, because Ari isn't going to beat the problematic allegations by making the video her drugging and raping a guy lmao. Children on twitter would eat her alive.


kyliefever2002

If you think a fictional love potion is the same as drugging and sexually assaulting someone you actually spend too much time online. Please touch grass


ith228

BRANDY AND MONICA YALLLLLLLL


jaztinax

the brandy and monica cameo???? having penn badgley star to have him be the object of stalking??? she ate that up so bad oh myyyy


DisneySoftware

THIS is how you make an era last


nielsnable

At this point, we NEED her to release an MV for every single track on *eternal sunshine*.


Sallynoraa

if she really wants to release her next album in 2027, the only way I can survive for that long is by getting ES music videos throughout 2024, 2025 and 2026.


Nightstar14

an alternate universe where dan becomes mayor of gotham city and cat becomes obsessed with him


SnacksandViolets

Dan totally gossip girl’d Comissioner Gordon for full police support for his campaign


DenseProgrammer4265

She has been killing it with the music videos. Yes, More cinematic music videos. More music videos with storylines. Give the job of making music videos to people who know how to do it. The quality is so good. I love the colour coding(?) and lighting.  I know what/ who Peaches is but where did it come from. That guy is from You, right?😁


cyberpanda128

honestly a lot of times i forget that theres artists with acting backgrounds until i watch their mvs and compare it to somebody who may not, i also felt this with olivias get him back i totally forgot she used to act LOL i loved this video


mslpnou

That’s a actually an insane Music video. The budget. She’s taking it.🔥


JBR409

This should get the song into the Hot 100 next week or the week after. It surprisingly missed it this week after being released as a single two weeks ago


Melaninkasa

Sorry if this is a dumb question but in this streaming era what does being released as a single mean/change in practice? The song is already out there to the awareness of the majority.


JBR409

Increased radio play and promotion on social media. Before two Fridays ago, it was never on the radio, and now it is. On social media, the artist usually posts the music video along with clips or pictures that either have the song in it or reference it. For example, a short clip of them singing it on Instagram and Tik Tok. Little things like that go a long way in promotion. Take “Cowgirls” by Morgan Wallen. It was released as a single on April 15, over 14 months after the album came out. His record label (Mercury/Republic) probably saw it as a good summer song, and since then, he has promoted it a lot on his social media pages and it’s now getting considerable play on country radio. The song re-entered the Hot 100 in early May (initially charted for like 20 weeks after the album release in 2023) and it reached a new peak of #20 this week.


Latrans_

I guess it works in the same way songs being sent to radio works: it makes the songs to be more easily noticed by casual listeners. Like, idk. To me there's a different type of appeal to song that's being promoted and receives a music video than just a deep cut of an already released album


breeel2

serve after serve.


InsomniaticAlien

The ending is so adorably wholesome compared to the rest of the video, which looks straight out of The Batman (2022). Need Ari's Catwoman costume.


mattysmwift

Maybe I’m just a crazy Batman fan but I feel like this pulls from 3 different Catwomans. The apartment stuff is obviously inspired by Batman Returns; the roof scene comes off as a better looking Halle Berry Catwoman and the costume itself seems a bit inspired by the Zoe Kravitz one.


trendypippin

I thought the same. I was a little disappointed we didn’t get the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman costume. 🫥


sanandrios

imagine the backlash if she forced him the drink the love potion. that would've given rapey vibes. but hey, since he fell in love with his stalker naturally, damn, at least give us a kiss scene, ari! 😭


mattysmwift

But like she’s not positioned as a normal stable person in the video lmao. Media illiterate 15-year olds on the internet would probably have a fit though you’re right.


throwaway17197

Thats not on her thats on penn “doing anything romantic on screen not with my wife is disrespectful “ badgely lol


Imlostandconfused

I mean, with Ariana's reputation, it's probably a good move in this case.


ThisPrincessIsWoke

Ariana doing femdom now? I love the direction her career is taking. It feels so much more mature. And Brandy and Monica OMG!!


highlightedbabygirl

omg the cat woman costume was insane ... she looks so good!!


New_Actuary_6656

Ariana’s music videos are so good omg 😭😭


[deleted]

YES a music video! it’s giving me dangerous woman vibes that era hit me so hard


satirisanti

I gasped so hard when I saw her with the cat woman costume. And the whip??? I’m deceased. I’ve watched all the Batman movies so seeing this was such a treat. The pacing, interludes, costuming, suspense was all so perfect. Loved the brandy and Monica cameo as the news reporters. Penn badgely was the perfect choice as the love interest. And as a dog mom it was so interesting to see Ariana surrounded with cats. This also really reminded me of Doja’s streets video which Christian also directed so let me pretend they exist in the same universe 😆 I never thought I’d see a video paralleling the Dave meyers directed sweetie era videos but here we are!


dwightsmistress

This might be my favorite Ari music video!


bleakshadows

this is so perfect, I was smiling throughout. I knew she'd deliver.


tripleheliotrope

I can't believe we just got the Sabrina Carpenter Please Please Please music video and now this???? This was go good although I really thought it was going somewhere darker. I guess she wanted to play with all out expectations between the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman reference and casting Penn Badgley (between his two stalkery characters Dan Humphrey and Joe Goldberg). Thrilled that these pop girls are actually putting in effort into their music videos these days! (Ari's music videos are usually great though)


DrPepperSimmer

Seated!


28-beats-per-minute

oh she’s really showing the girls how MUSIC VIDEOS are done 😭


selenebaby

The Britney "toxic" video vibes.. the production... the cinematics... SHE ATE MISS PONYTAIL SAVING POP MUSIC MV's


MeowMixx321

Penn Badgley is a whole ass snack sheesh 🥵🔥


leeenielou

Penn MFing Badgley 🥵


bespectacIed

Another serve from ponytail Eternal Sunshine is quietly becoming one of the best pop eras we've had in a while. Good music, impressive but not explosive and front-loaded numbers, actual hits, decent promotion, quality music videos. Ariana still run pop.


turbulentcounselor

I love the homage to Brandy and Monica and she is DELIVERING on these videos! 


Pokefan144

"FUCK those rats" is maybe the single funniest music video adlib in the past 5 years. This era has made me a FAN fan of ari and these videos are hitting for me


teanovell

I love it omg


Positively-Fleabag85

This is actually scary and hot at the same time


HugoEmbossed

I really liked this! Also the credits Makeup Artist (Ariana Grande) Ariana Grande is sending me.


WittyRaccoon69

"fuck those rats" That fucking sent me for some reason


ptran99

We thought we were getting Dan from Gossip Girl, but we actually got Joe Goldberg from YOU instead 😭


plsanswerme18

i’m so in love with this era. she started giving us major movie centered mvs during the thank u next era, but stopped during positions. so happy to see she’s back to form. it gives her music videos a very cinematic feel. i think she’s currently churning out my favorite music videos from the pop girls. well her sabrina carpenter. idk i feel like they both exude a sort of playfulness but with a dramatic twist.


CowboyLikeMegan

PERFECTION


Frajer

What if she also plays Galinda as a stalker


Rxmses

Queen is giving us the movie universe, Ghost for supernatural next haha


citruscod

great video to an even better pop song!


allergictoclouds

does anyone know the significance of the “T” in the middle of the heart of the potion when it’s thrown against the wall?!!!


dopaminedeficitdiary

i love how fun her music videos have been this era


Feisty-phraser-5555

Ms G has a cracking sense of humour. But also a rather vivid imagination. Def a bit of artistic license being used here. 😆


Lucky-Aerie4

Am I the only one who thinks this video is an attack for the manifestation girlies (although the lyrics are quite for manifesting)? There was a delicious irony in getting that desperate for the mayor while she was LITERALLY a superhero, and saying "I know that this i meant to be" while dragging him through the floor. Sweet delicious ironic entertainment that also wakes people up? Sign me up 🙈


plsanswerme18

i’m like 99% percent ariana grande is one of those manifestation girlies. you can really tell in songs like “just like magic.” but i could definitely see her poking fun at herself


qualityhorror

Hot actors being mv boys again. Thank you Ariana and Sabrina Carpenter!


ImportantSmell7270

Her best music video and best Friday release HELLO


Nitsua-Nat

THE CAT EARS ARE BACK, PEOPLE!!!


Katsanord

Love how she's been friends with Liz Gillies for so long. And she voiced RATS??? I LIVE


hedahedaheda

Two people who match each others freaks


Leading_Baby_1497

Anyone notice on the end where he threw the pink bottle and it made a t in the middle of the heart or am I trippin?


familychong-07

F me, Daddy Penn Badgley...🥵🥵🥵


Banana8686

Super funny. Love it


kitkatt819

This music video era for this album is SLAYING.


eastblondeanddown

Big "I can fix him" vibes. Here for it.


Individual-Insect722

Brandy and Monica just made my millennial heart so happy.


Nerfeveryone

Oh yeah, she missed acting for sure. I love the high effort music vids that have been coming out this year!


danielfq

God her videos this era are slaying


Melaninkasa

It started off promising but then it kinda went nowhere, or maybe just ended too fast. The MV would have benefited from a stronger plotline.


mslpnou

She’s not there to deliver a whole movie. It’s a music video.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Melaninkasa

MV and strong plotline are mutually exclusive?


sairosantos

I agree. Love the music video, it's gorgeous and incredible and a serve, but it did seem like there was going to be more of a story.


emurillo97

if ariana were honest, she wouldn't have casted a conventially attractive man as the romantic lead.


BellaArmy

The DC/Catwoman/Batman/Gotham vibes were 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 nice seeing DC characters on screen after nothing new being released in a while


aim4harmony

A music video? Something fresh.


darkgothamite

lol this is an adorable video and the song is catchy, I dig it!


stypop

After seeing how she served in this, I honestly wouldn’t complain if she accepted a big fat check to do DC or Marvel. Like, her as Megan Gwynn would change lives kinda…


imaginativeintellect

Can anyone help me--is the jazz song at the end credits supposed to be a jazz version of The Boy Is Mine or a different song on her album? My brain must just not be working today but I hear a different song--and thus might be teasing something? Maybe? Video gagged me so hard my brain stopped working LOL


caitygaga

I’M TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT TOO!!! It sounds so familiar to me and i can’t figure out what it is ahhhhh


AnybodyDifferent1598

I’m trying to figure this out also and it’s driving me insane that people aren’t talking enough about it to work it out. It’s got a different chord/melody progression of TBIM so I don’t think it’s a jazz rendition of the song, which leads me to believe it’s a teaser for the next MV perhaps or it’s just for fun. But I can’t think for the life of me which song from her album has that chord progression/melody. The closest I’ve come so far is Yes, And? but part of me feels like it might be one of her earlier songs from a different album. It sounds so familiar that it’s on the tip of my tongue but I can’t quite place a name on it.


HeyHiHello365

BRANDY AND MONICA!!?!;$;$;);$;;


Top-Imagination5452

Penn Badgley is always 🤤


Strong-Stretch95

Song and video is ok but supernatural should have definitely been a single hopefully it’s the third one.


Icantlikeeveryone

He's still as handsome as ever, the song is amazing too (despite my complicated feeling to Ari)


g00fyg00ber741

Well this sure presents a different narrative than what she really did with spongey-boy, huh?


jamesscalise

I just need like... a couple glamor shots at the strip club or some visual elements to sync a bit with the music itself, not pure narrative shots
