Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorMegan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa are a formidable team, and award-winning video director Dave Meyers plays to their strengths in the clip for the pair’s new tag-team single, “Sweetest Pie.” Working a similar theme to the one from his video for Saweetie and Doja Cat’s “Best Friend” — hapless explorers of a science-fiction world stumble upon female characters with superpowers — this one turns dark quickly, as the explorers decide Megan and Dua are witches, try to burn them at the stake, and then suffer the consequences of their arrogance. Sure, it’s a not-terribly-serious, special-effect-filled music video, but it’s still a satisfying perspective during Women’s History Month.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa unite to bring their fans a hot girl anthem for 2022, and the music video serves supernatural wickedness.Directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Freenjoy, the video features the 27-year-old rapper and 26-year-old singer as the stunning divas they are with an arachnid twist. When two men wander into a mystical forest, they find the duo's lair hidden amongst trees shaped like women's bodies, and they lure them into their fantastical abode.Of course, once they've been ensnared by the gorgeous women and their delicious cake (see what they did there?), they realize they've been captured by deadly predators.

“Sweetest Pie.”The music video, which dropped on Friday, features a mixture of magical, fanatical vibes and sexy booty-popping.The clip was directed by Dave Meyer and the concept was created by Meg herself.The scene opens with a breathtaking waterfall in a grassy green forest.Megan, 27, and Lipa, 26, then pop up on screen sporting black leather hats and gowns, looking rich.Other shots show the “Levitating” singer and the “Body” rapper dancing in bright bejeweled corsets against pastel-colored Versailles-esque backdrops. The backgrounds are reminiscent of “Hansel and Gretel” meets Marie Antoinette.
