Ariana Grande teased Monday on social media that “The Boy Is Mine” is getting a music video.
The Eternal Sunshine singer posted an incredibly brief but intriguing preview of the video on Instagram and captioned: “Meow,” which reveals that the visual for “The Boy Is Mine” will arrive on Friday, June 7.
The preview shows an unidentified actor placing a drink down, then filling a bathroom sink with a bucket of ice that he dunks his face into. Meanwhile, a hand wearing a claw-like glove creeps around the nearby doorframe. Before the viewer can see who or what is behind that door, the video’s title and release date flashes on the screen.
A little over a week ago, Grande uploaded a couple of photos to the platform that fans speculated were from the set of an upcoming music video.
She wears a cat-ear headband in the photos and has “TRUE LOVE” and “BE MINE” hearts on her wall next to a painted portrait, showing the portrait’s subject only from his bottom lip down to his shoulders.
Director Christian Breslauer, who worked on the visuals for both “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” from Grande’s seventh studio album, "Eternal Sunshine", commented on her teaser and shared the sneak peek on his Instagram account.
“Get your popcorn, take your seats,” Breslauer wrote on the pop star’s post; “ACT III… soon,” he teased on his page.
