Ariana Grande can count Keith Urban as a fan.
After Urban mentioned Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” as his “current obsession” in an interview with PEOPLW earlier this month, the 56-year-old country star posted Eternal sunshine single at a recent concert and shared the video on Instagram on May 14.

In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe ahead of the album’s release in April, Grande talked about what the song represents within the larger narrative of the project.
“I think it fits the concept, in a different way for me than I think it does for most of my friends and most of my family and people who listened,” she said. “They all kind of interpret it a little bit differently, which is what I love about that song, because I think it can apply to any kind of relationship, really — especially when you see the video.”
Released ahead of the album in March, the music video for the single re-enacts the film’s plot Eternal sunshine of a flawless mind. “I think you’ll understand the importance of that, especially since it’s a second single as well,” she teased at the time. “The music video we made for ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ is really an album in a video for me.”
