GRANDE SAYS "THANK U" WITH NEW VIDEO

The brand new music video for Ariana Grande's red-hot hit, "thank u, next" (Republic), is an ode to four early-2000s blockbusters: Mean Girls, Bring It On, Legally Blonde and 13 Going on 30. The well-executed, tongue-in-cheek clip includes cameos by Troye Sivan, Kris Jenner, Jennifer Coolidge and Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett.

In just half an hour, it was quickly approaching half a million views. According to YouTube, the clip had the platform's biggest premiere ever, with 829k users watching simultaneously at one point, not to mention 516k chat messages sent during its premiere, another YT record.
