Ariana Grande's Best Music Videos

'The Boy Is Mine'

As the third single from her Eternal Sunshine album, Grande has dropped the visual for "The Boy Is Mine," also starring Gossip Girl and You actor Penn Badgley. Directed by Christian Breslauer, the music video stars Grande as a Cat Woman-like character, stalking Badgley as the city's mayor. It also features a cameo from Brandy and Moncia, who sang the original "The Boy Is Mine" song in 1998 that she sampled.

'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)'

Inspired by the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Grande teamed up with American Horror Story alum Evan Peters for a visual that follows the journal of a couple that split, resulting in a broken hearted Grande going through therapy to have her memories erased.

'Thank U, Next'

Perhaps Grande's most star-studded music video, the "Thank U, Next" visual takes inspiration from four iconic Y2K films, Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, Bring It On, and 13 Going on 30. The video features appearances from Kris Jenner, Jennifer Coolidge, Jonathan Bennett, Stefanie Drummond, Matt Bennett, Colleen Ballinger, Elizabeth Gillies, Gabi DeMartino, Daniella Monet, Victoria Monét, Tayla Parx, and Troye Sivan.

'34 + 35 (Remix)'

Following the release of the standard "34 + 35" video, Grande teamed up with Grammy-winners Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat for another visual. Featured on the deluxe edition of Positions, the Stefan Kohli-directed video features the trio enjoying a luxurious hotel and spa day.

'God Is a Woman'

Grande made a splash with the second Sweetener single, "God Is A Woman." The visual features a vocal cameo from Madonna as God while Grande poses with the universe revolving around her. A scene of her swimming in paint became an instantly iconic visual for the rest of the year, with "God Is A Woman" becoming a popular phrase in 2018.

'Side to Side (Feat. Nicki Minaj)'

The MTV Music Award-winning video for the Dangerous Woman single was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. It featured Grande and Minaj in a spin class, before heading to the sauna with a bevy of male models. They later brought the video to life at the MTV Music Video Awards.

'7 Rings'

Hannah Lux Davis came back to direct the second Thank U, Next single's visual. Landing as Grande's most-viewed music video of all time, the visual features Grande living the lavish lifestyle that is sung about in the song. Featuring champagne towers, expensive jewelry, and extravagant parties, the music video was given an unlimited budget, W Magazine reports.

'Don't Call Me Angel (Feat. Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey)'

Grande teamed up with Cyrus and Del Rey for their Charlie's Angels soundtrack single. The visual features the three of them feasting in a large mansion, along with a boxing match and more. In the end of the video, Elizabeth Banks makes an appearance in her role of Rebekah Bosley.

'Break up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored'

The third single from Thank U, Next had a video that dropped the same night as the album. While the song can be interpreted as a woman wanting a man to break up with his girlfriend so she can have him, the end of the video revealed that Grande had been pining for the woman instead. Following the premiere, Grande revealed that she does not label her sexuality as the visual concludes with her kissing the woman.
