Here Are All Of The 2K Movie References In Ariana Grande’s Iconic ‘Thank U, Next’ Music Video

Bring It On

Ari drew major inspiration from the iconic 2000 cheerleading movie Bring It On. The behind-the-scenes video released on Nov. 29 revealed that she even copied Kirsten Dunst’s teeth-brushing scene exactly!

Ari made herself a mixtape, just like in BIO! TBH we would kill to hear what’s on it.

Look how perfectly Ari fits in with the Rancho Carne High School Toros cheerleaders from the film. Legendary!

13 Going On 30

People were freaking out when they thought Ari cut her notorious long locks, but it was just to look like Jennifer Garner in this 2004 flick.

She even had a replica made of the dollhouse that Mark Ruffalo gave Jen in the film. Swoon!

Mean Girls

We definitely saw the most references to Mean Girls. Ari dressed up as Regina George and even got Jonathan Bennett, who played Aaron Samuels, to make a cameo!

Oh, and how could you not recognize THE girl who wore army pants because of Cady Heron? She’s back!

The whole squad matches up perfectly, though it caused a bit of controversy with  Lindsay Lohan...

Ari and her pals literally learned the choreography to the Mean Girls recital dance to ‘Jingle Bell Rock’, including the mess-ups!

Both movies also had a “cool mom,” and Ari’s was played by the legend herself, Kris Jenner!

And it wouldn’t be Mean Girls without the Burn Book, right? Except Ari’s revealed secrets about her exes  Pete Davidson and Big Sean!

Legally Blonde

Ari enlisted the help of the original Paulette, Jen Coolidge. Her outfit is PERFECT!

Can’t forget the “bend and snap!”

Paulette even got her mans!

And how can you be Elle without a little doggie?

She even busted out a retro Macbook to be the perfect Elle Woods. Literally, this video was EVERYTHING!
