Grimes, preparing for her life on Mars with Elon probably, appears as an alien in Doja Cat's new video
Given the futuristic nature of the "Need To Know" music video, it only makes sense to bring in an artist who seems like they’re from another planet.

Doja Cat dropped her new single and music video, called “Need To Know,” with an appearance by featured friend and fellow musician Grimes. Given the futuristic nature of the music video, it only makes sense to bring in an artist who seems like they’re from another planet.
In the “Need To Know” video, the evening starts with lounging around, drinking, and playing video games. Grimes joins Doja Cat with her other friends, Jazelle Straka-Braxton, Josephine Pearl Lee, and Ryan Destiny on an intergalactic girls night out. In a far away city reminiscent of the NYC in The Fifth Element, the gang zips around in a floating Uber, on their way to an underground, outer-space club.
Grimes sports her signature elven ears and hot pink top knots, not needing much else to blend in with the aliens surrounding her. She and a blue-tinted Doja grab drinks together at the bar, and sway on the dance floor until the radioactive juice they’re drinking kicks in. The “Need To Know” video is all just practice for Grimes for when she and Elon go off to Mars in a few years and start a technocrat colony.
In a 2020 interview with Business Insider, when asked whether she’d rather upload her consciousness to the Cloud or go to Mars, Grimes said going to the red planet was one of her main goals.
“WOW, what a question. Ummmmm……….. I would very much like to do both of these things. Like, these are the main things I’m trying to do” Grimes said at the time. “I guess I’d like to upload my consciousness, and then when it’s technologically possible, have my consciousness live in some kind of humanoid vessel that can speak and move freely, and then that body can go to Mars and other planets with my mind inside it.”
Okay Grimes, yeah sure, whatever you want to do. Planet Her from Doja Cat lands on June 25th.

Stop giving both of these people attention
Stop giving both of these people attention.FTFY
Outer space: send them (all).
I want my consciousness to be uploaded to a computer so that I can live to watch all the other consciousnesses leave Earth for Mars or wherever, and then I can finally get some peace and quiet down here.
Short of the ones who committed actual crimes, I’m struggling to think of another artist who has squandered all the good will they have earned so thoroughly as Grimes has.
Good will used up or just opened her mouth for enough time to realise that there’s never actually been anything of worth coming out of it?Personally, just always found her “30 something acting and sounding like a 14 year old” routine tiresome (though admittedly it’s probably why Elon “I keep dating younger and younger than myself” Musk was interested in her).
A bit of both? I think we’ve definitely reached that moment in the Simpsons episode where Burns realizes Homer wasn’t brilliant after all.
Wait she’s 30something? Fff I’ve thought she was in her early 20s for…a while now.
Visions is still a really great album. It was all very very steep downhill from there though.
Art Angels was one of the best albums of the ‘10s.
Isn’t Doja Cat’s skin tinted green? We aren’t going to argue about this, I hope.
Bitch, I’m a space cow.
Is it wack slow trap? Ah yes. It is.
