KATSEYE music videos are an event, and their latest song and accompanying video, “Pinky Up,” included a cameo from a very familiar face—and former Teen Vogue cover star—Vivian Wilson! Wilson appears about a minute into the video and calls her cameo “the role of a lifetime.”

“We stuffed Daniela in the trunk of a car, gave her Tru Fru, yelled pronouns at the camera, served on said car, and then gave Sophia a sword, all while cinched to the stars and back in the freezing cold,” Wilson exclusively tells Teen Vogue. “We simply looked too hot for hypothermia.” Wilson was joined by musicians Saturn Risin9 and Mel 4Ever, performer VHEX, and model Katalina in the short segment.

Daniela does end up lounging in the trunk of a car, surrounded by stuffed animals and snacking on the chocolate-covered frozen fruits before emerging to join her bandmates (not including Manon, who is still on hiatus) in a dance routine, “shaking ass in the parking lot.”

Here's a breakdown of everything that has happened since Manon’s hiatus was announced.

“Pinky Up” is a high-tempo, high-energy club jam made for dance parties and getting you hyped up, whether that's before a big night (like prom!) or an early morning geometry final. It begins and ends with a house party and each bandmate gets her own special moment throughout the three-minute video. The costumes are colorful and elaborate, the glam details are beyond fun, sets have the perfect Tumblr-goes-2026 aesthetic, and the song is beyond catchy too.

We know Wilson is a KATSEYE fan; she posted a video dancing to “Gnarly” last year with the group, and both Wilson and KATSEYE also appeared at the 2025 Teen Vogue Summit. Will she be in the crowd watching the group make their Coachella debut this weekend, or potentially pop up onstage? You know we'll be watching as “Pinky Up” takes over the desert.
