What You Missed In Ariana Grande's Remix Video For 34+35
Nearly a month after Ariana Grande dropped her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat on her song "34+35" from her album Positions, she shared the highly-anticipated accompanying music video on Feb. 12, 2021. Ahead of its release, the pop star shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the video photoshoot to her Instagram, which saw her posing in lingerie on a staircase, as well a close-up selfie of the trio.
The "34+35 (Remix)" music video, which gives off nostalgic early-'90s girl group vibes, sees the three artists having a sleep over and opens with the ladies lounging at an indoor pool and sipping on champagne before following them through different rooms in what appears to be a fancy hotel or mansion. At one point, Grande even orders "in room dining" and requests a number of things, including french fries, sundaes, and a "flaming dessert" which turns out to be a Baked Alaska.

The '34+35 (Remix)' video looks a lot like the 'WAP' music video
Ariana Grande's "34+35 (Remix)" music video with Megan The Stallion and Doja Cat features a lot of elements — specifically the set design and costumes — that can be compared to "WAP," Megan's 2020 mega-hit collaboration with Cardi B. Both videos see the artists walking around a luxurious estate and singing their verses in fancy rooms while wearing lingerie.
Meanwhile, Doja Cat's scene looks like it was inspired by 101 Dalmatians' Cruella de Vil. She seemingly rocked the iconic villain's look, wearing long black-and-white gloves and what appeared to be a fur coat, complete with a Dalmatian by her side. One fan is also convinced the singer used the dog to subtly shade Tekashi69 (otherwise known as 6ix9ine). "PLEASE WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW THE CAMERA ZOOMED ON A DOG WHEN DOJA SAID "T*K*SHI" LMAOOOOOO AT 1:08," the person pointed out in the video's comments. It's unclear if the dig was intentional but another fan added, "I guess thats because in his music video ["Gooba"] he holds a Dalmatian puppy and Doja is holding a Dalmatian DOG."
On the "34+35 (Remix)," Doja raps, "Play and rewind that, listen, you'll find that, you'll find that/ I want that six-nine without Tekashi," which is clear reference to the rapper, who previously accused Grande and Justin Bieber of manipulating the Billboard charts, per NBC News.
