ARIANA Grande has teased a possible appearance by actor Penn Badgley in her newest music video.
The pop star announced last week that she will release the video for her hit song, The Boy Is Mine, on June 7th.
The song is the eighth from her studio album Eternal Sunshine, which she released earlier this year.
Before the music video’s release, some fans speculated that Ariana, 30, may have included a well-known actor in the project.
Penn, known for his role in hit shows like You and Gossip Girl, is at the top of many fans’ lists.
On Sunday, the Grammy-winning singer teased that the 37-year-old actor could appear in the new video.

Ariana reposted a video to her Instagram Stories, which featured the text: “Not the entire Internet showed up to ask us if Penn is in The Boy is Mine MV.”
The clip showed a group of foxes walking to a back deck and approaching a house, intending to playfully imitate the behavior of curious fans.
The singer added a gif of three cats wagging their tails, accompanied by a thought bubble with a question mark inside.
Ariana’s post was shared on X, formerly Twitter, where fans have been weighing in on the possible collaboration.
“Music video of the year is coming,” one person wrote, while another tweeted, “Oh this is about to be one of her best music videos.”
“This is practically a confirmation haha”, believed a third.
“Wow, Penn Badgley in an Ariana Grande music video? That’s going to be interesting!” a fourth said.
“If he turns into Joe at the end I would make a FREAKING SCREAM,” wrote another person, mentioning his character in You.
FINDING CLUES
The mystery man – who definitely looked like Penn from behind – then put his head under the faucet with the water running.

The man had dark, wavy hair and was wearing what appeared to be a white button-down shirt.
The clip then showed the bathroom door, which was slightly broken as someone’s hand with black claw-like nails passed through it.
“Meow,” Ariana joked in the caption.
She also shared another glimpse of the video on her Instagram Story last week, which had a dark Gossip Girl feel.
The screenshot showed a partially obscured pencil-drawn portrait with the name “Max” written on it.
The post also made fans believe they knew who would star in the next video.
“The street says the man is PENN Badgley and Ariana is Catwoman. THE GAGGGG you will be OMGGG,” one fan wrote on X.

The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, stars Ariana as Galinda “Glinda”, the Good Witch.
Ariana’s co-star is Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba Thropp – aka The Wicked Witch of the West.
