Ariana Grande's highly anticipated music video for "thank u, next" is finally out and fans are fawning over its nostalgic nod to iconic 2000s films.

The pop star’s new video features recreations of some of the best scenes from “Mean Girls,” “Legally Blonde,” “Bring It On” and “13 Going on 30” — with cameos from some of the original stars themselves. If you’ve been on social media lately, you may have noticed some of the teaser posts.
