AceShowbiz - During her interview with Jimmy Fallon, Ariana Grande gleefully discussed her upcoming video for "The Boy Is Mine", confirming that Penn Badgley, a lifelong idol of hers, would be starring alongside other unnamed cameos. She teased the video last month with a chilling clip and later hinted at Badgley's involvement with a TikTok of him dancing to the song.

Grande also opened up about her preparation for her role as Glinda in "Wicked", expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to share her passion with co-star Cynthia Erivo. She recalled her initial Zoom interview in 2021, during which she had to keep her role a secret.

The singer also revealed that her latest album, "Eternal Sunshine," was unplanned, stemming from a week-long collaboration with Swedish producer Max Martin during the 2023 Hollywood strikes. She had initially intended to focus on "Wicked" first but decided to embark on music after spending time with family.

In a slinky black dress with white heels, Grande captivated the audience with her performance of "The Boy Is Mine", wearing a lacy black face mask adorned with cat ears. Her performance was met with roaring applause and admiration from Fallon, who praised her as "unbelievable."

The anticipation builds for the release of the "The Boy Is Mine" music video on Friday, directed by Christian Breslauer. The film adaptation of "Wicked" is set to hit theaters on November 27, 2024.
