By Nefertiti Jenkins
Singer Camila Cabello dropped her visuals for her single "Havana," featuring Young Thug on October 24, and within hours, it became the number one trending video on YouTube, raking in millions of views. There's comedy and there's romance, but the music video isn't your average mv. It plays more like a mini movie, with Cabello the star of each scene.  In fact, that's how the 20-year-old former member of Fifth Harmony teased the visual just days before the big drop with a number of movie-style teaser trailers. The actual music video starts with Cabello in a telenovela, and then expands to show she's the woman watching the drama, who then interacts with her grandmother (played by LeJuan James) and her sister (played by LeLe Pons). She then goes to the theater, where she's the star of that film, hitting the dance floor with hot men at a club. Cabello, originally from Cuba, really does a great job acting out each of her roles in her mini movie, di
