Ariana Grande has debuted a theatrical new music video for “The Boy Is Mine,” the third single from her Billboard chart-topping album, “Eternal Sunshine.”
The Christian Breslauer-directed visual sees the singer transform into Catwoman in order to capture the heart of a hunky mayor, played by “Gossip Girl” star Penn Badgley, who has released feral cats into the streets to eradicate a rat infestation. The video also features a cameo from Monica and Brandy, who duetted on the 1998 song “The Boy Is Mine” — which Grande said inspired her own version — as news anchors reporting on the rat crisis.
Rumors of Badgley’s involvement in the video began swirling earlier last week when Grande posted film photos of her on set of the music video. She appears to be standing in front of a portrait, with surrounding cutout hearts that read “True Love” and “Be Mine. She later posted more images of the hand-drawn picture which revealed Badgley as the video’s star.
