Drama aside, Ariana Grande has been killing the game this year musically, dropping one hit after another. Her latest record breaking chart-topper, Thank U, Next, has been on repeat in our playlist as we anxiously waited for the music video, which Grande teased on Insta and Twitter for what seemed like years. Here are the top ten iconic moments from a truly iconic video.
1. Kris Jenner: the cool mom made an appearance that shocked the viewers with the best surprise of the video.
2. The Burn Book: the real life drama made an appearance in the music video’s “pretend” book.
3. The Law books: We stan a woke Queen.
4. The Victorious Reunion: Loved seeing old faces make an appearance in Ari’s new video.
5. The other celebrity appearances: Jennifer Coolidge? Aaron Samuels (aka Jonathan Bennett)?? Troye Sivan?? Ari pulled out all the stops
6. The hair: we got the classic high pony, a classic Regina George blonde, and a cute shoulder length crop? She can make any hairstyle work.
7. The dollhouse: I loved seeing all the Insta promo make an appearance in the video! (Catch that snap-filter selfie in the bath?)
8. The Christmas Dance scene: This was iconic in the original, of course it would be even better featured in the music video.
9. The straight scenes: What truly makes the video is the riffs off the classic scenes featured in the film (we all knew we had to see that bend and snap).
