tmp67dfbcf3-888d-4a30-a858-c5c2d3e1afe5-jpg

According to a release from the group’s label, Twenty One Pilots just earned the Guinness World Record for the longest music video ever.

The “Never-Ending” clip for the duo’s pandemic hit “Level of Concern” has live-streamed for 177 straight days thanks to fan-populated imagery that has kept the visual fresh for half the year.

The clip — conceived by the group with interactive director Jason Nickel and director Jason Zada — has cycled in more than 162,000 Skeleton Clique submissions, in real time, live on YouTube. The project launched on June 12 with a global treasure hunt that involved unlocking 20 codes, which in turn each unlocked virtual USB drives through which fans could download a zip file containing images, videos and symbols from the band’s personal phones, leading to more codes needed to solve the ARG game.

The video refreshed every 3:42 with new content from fans, creating more than 400 new versions every day. “Level of Concern” smashed the previous record holder, Pharrell Williams’ 24-hour long “Happy” video, with a total run time of 4,264 hours, 10 mins and 25 seconds before coming to an end on Dec. 16.

Ariana Grande announced that she is engaged to boyfriend Dalton Gomez on Instagram. Grande revealed the news in a series of photos of the two cuddling up together, writing in the caption, “Forever n then some,” and also flashed a ring with a massive diamond sparkler and what looked like a white pearl on a thin platinum band.

Grande and Dalton first confirmed their romance in June, when they appeared together in her quarantine-themed duet with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U.” The pop superstar reportedly “spent a lot of one-on-one time” with Gomez in quarantine at the singer’s home in Los Angeles amid the coronavirus crisis lockdown. Grande and Gomez, a Los Angeles real estate agent, largely kept their love life out of the public eye.

Grande was previously engaged to “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson in June 2018, but months later the pop star officially called off the engagement after their short-lived whirlwind romance.
