Emmy Awards
Mary J. Blige, Taraji P. Henson, and Kerry Washington Jam in Apple Commercial (VIDEO)
The Emmys 2015 brought us quite a few memorable moments, including Game of Thrones’ win for Best Drama and Viola Davis’ inspirational acceptance speech for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. But there was definitely one moment that stood out during the award show — and it totally gave us #SquadGoals.

You see, Apple released an ad to promote their new “For You” feature, which essentially recommends music based on the user’s preferences and listening history. But instead of giving us a generic commercial showing off the program, Apple gave fans a commercial with Emmy nominees Taraji P. Henson and Kerry Washington and Empire guest star Mary J. Blige.
In the viral Ava DuVernay-directed clip, Taraji and Kerry head over to Mary’s home for a ladies’ night in, where they have a little jam session with MJ’s recommended playlists.

"It's like you have a boyfriend that makes you a mixtape in your laptop,” Kerry states before the ladies start to bop to Blackstreet’s “No Diggity”, Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight,” and “Touch It” by Busta Rhymes.
The commercial concludes with the women rapping to “All About the Benjamins,” and we honestly couldn’t help but rap with them.
The spot is one of three Apple “For You” spots to roll out this week, but this commercial alone has us sold.
