In honor of International Women's Day on Friday (March 8), Ariana Grande released the "Female" interlude from her 2017 "Dangerous Woman Tour" via social media.

In the one-minute interlude, which was directed by Grande's frequent collaborator Hannah Lux Davis, the pop titan is seen sitting in front of a camera in a number of different positions as several labels flash across the screen. While adjectives like "ladylike," "willful," "gentle," "sexual," and "divine" appear, they are all followed by the phrase "not asking for it" repeated throughout the montage. "We made this for the dwt and you’ve been asking for it since 🖤,” she captioned the brief clip. "Happy international women’s day every day to women of every color, shape, size, sexuality, age, religion, trans, cis, and all who identify ! u are everything and i’m proud of u everyday. female by @HANNAHLUXDAVIS 🌫."

Meanwhile, on her Instagram Story, the star paid homage to some of her female friends, family and idols, who have made an impact in her life. Among the friendly faces included Miley Cyrus, Normani, Lana Del Rey, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Lady Gaga and many more!

It's not the only gift that Arianators received on Friday. 2 Chainz also released a 33-second clip of the music video for their collab, "Rule The World," and its lavish aesthetic matches well with the feel-good sound of the track. In an all-white suit, the rapper is seen in an underground basement party with Grande by his side. "Right now, I use love for a medication/ Back in the day I'd shoot Cupid with no hesitation," he raps during an on-stage performance.
