The singer’s star-studded music video for latest track Stuck With U with Justin Bieber was released today.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk, Demi Lovato with her new beau all featured in the video alongside and many more famous faces.
Tiger King stars Carole Baskin and her husband Howard recorded a video in hopes of making it into the music video but they didn’t make the cut.
The video was released just hours after Ariana, 26, denied approving a cameo by Carole and Howard.

Her collaborator Justin, 26, took to Twitter earlier that day to share a bizarre video of Carole and Howard dancing while wearing matching cheetah print outfits to promote the new charity singer.
Ariana quickly responded to Justin’s post to assure her fans that she ad no part in the video featuring the Tiger King stars being posted.
She wrote: “For the record, I did not allow or approve this clip to be in the actual video. but. nonetheless. it exists and that’s ….. unique. anyway, 7.5 hours.”
One fan replied that they were laughing at her reply as Ariana ripped the video even more.

Grande said: “I am very glad someone is laughing [crying emoji] the f***ing heart attacks I had over this.”
It remains unclear why Ariana was so upset about the publication of the clip but Baskin has been criticised by animal rights activists for years over her Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Florida.
Ariana is a vegan and animal lover as back in 2014, she told Mirror: “I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding.”
Justin and Ariana had asked fans to submit videos to be included in the clips.

Regardless Carole and Howard would not be making the final cut of the music video it was reported by TMZ hours before the release.
Carole told the publication that a friend of Justin’s asked if they would film a video and that she was happy that he shared the video with his fans.
She told the site that she hopes “it doesn’t attract too many of the haters who have been bashing us since being misled by Tiger King”.
Justin danced with wife Hailey in the Stick With U music video as Ariana confirmed her relationship with real estate agent Dalton Gomez as they kissed at the end of the clip.
Ariana and Justin officially announced the single on Friday, when they both shared the cover art by one of Ariana’s favorite artists, Liana Finck, who’s drawings are regularly featured in the New Yorker.
The singers, both of whom are managed by Scooter Braun, jointly announced that the proceeds from the song would go to the children of first responders.
