\n\tAriana Grande<\/a> paid the ultimate tribute to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind <\/em>in her recent \u201cWe Can\u2019t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)\u201d music video<\/a>, re-creating the 2004 Jim Carrey-led sci-fi romance\u2019s mind-wiping premise in order to forget all memories of an ex-lover. And in a new behind-the-scenes clip shared Wednesday (March 13), the pop star gave insight into how she translated the film into a personalized visual.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis video is our own short version of the Eternal Sunshine <\/em>movie, because we felt like that was the perfect thing,\u201d Grande tells the camera in the clip, standing on set of the music video\u2019s snow angel scene. \u201cBoth of the characters end up discontinuing the cycle of their toxic pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWill Ariana Grande Have the Year’s Biggest Debut With ‘Eternal\u00a0Sunshine’?\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tDirected by Christian Breslauer, who joined Ari in talking about the project in her behind-the-scenes footage, the \u201cWe Can\u2019t Be Friends\u201d music video finds the singer reflecting on her time with an ex-boyfriend played by Evan Peters, whom she calls \u201cbrilliant\u201d in the new clip. On set, the two laugh together in between takes, both giggling as Grande leans her head on the American Horror Story <\/em>alum\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s kind of about erasing the pain and only wanting the best for someone, even if it means not each other,\u201d Grande added. \u201cIt\u2019s not like one person\u2019s wrong, or the enemy.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Breslauer observes that everyone goes through heartbreak at some point, the Grammy winner pokes fun at her own past luck with love. \u201cOr you\u2019ll get many,\u201d she quips, smiling knowingly into the camera lens.<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased Friday (March 9), Grande\u2019s new album Eternal Sunshine <\/em>is gunning for a No. 1 debut<\/a> on the Billboard 200<\/a>. It was preceded by just one single \u2014 the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>-topping \u201cYes, And?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe vocalist spent the weekend out and about, promoting the record on Saturday Night Live <\/em>March 9. In addition to singing \u201cWe Can\u2019t Be Friends\u201d and another new song, \u201cImperfect for You,\u201d as that week\u2019s musical guest<\/a>, she joined in on a couple sketches<\/a> with Bowen Yang and host Josh Brolin.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Sunday (March 10), she and Wicked <\/em>co-star Cynthia Erivo presented best original song at the 2024 Oscars, for which she showed out in a stunning, Glinda-esque pink gown<\/a>. She gasped with delight upon reading that her friend, Billie Eilish, had won the category for Barbie<\/em>\u2018s \u201cWhat Was I Made For?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
