Ariana Grande is aligning the stars for "The Boy is Mine" music video from her new album "Eternal Sunshine."
The two-time Grammy winner recruited "Gossip Girl" alum and "You" star Penn Badgley for the official "Mine" video, which premiered Friday.
Two decades after they hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart for their hit song of the same name, Brandy and Monica added a blast of nostalgia with a brief cameo as news anchors in the Catwoman-themed music video.
In the video, Grande stalks Badgley, who plays a newly elected mayor who releases stray cats into the streets of a city resembling New York to cure a rat infestation. Brandy and Monica introduce music video viewers to the story.

The reunion for Brandy and Monica in the Grande video paid homage to the original "The Boy Is Mine," which was released after a rumored feud between the pair. The songstresses later won best R&B performance by a duo or group at the 1999 Grammys.
During an appearance Thursday night on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Grande told the late-night host she had been a fan of Badgley her "entire life" and was "super honored to have him" appear in the music video. She also performed the song, teasing the music video in a city-lights set with a Catwoman-inspired outfit.
The song comes off her new album "Eternal Sunshine," released in March," which traces the public response to her divorce from ex-husband Dalton Gomez and the alleged scandal involving her "Wicked" co-star and now-boyfriend Ethan Slater. Reports surfaced last year that the pair began dating while splitting from their then-respective spouses, including Slater's marriage to Lilly Jay.
Halle Berry, who starred in the 2004 film "Catwoman," chimed up on X, writing "Get it, Ari!" about the "Victorious" alum's new music video.
