'Legally Blonde,' 'Mean Girls,' and More Easter Eggs From Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' Video
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Ariana Grande teased that her "Thank U, Next" video would contain some tributes to four classic movies: 13 Going on 30, Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, and Bring It On. Of course, there are some sneaky references to her real life as well. Here are all the easter eggs you missed in the video.
About to drop the "bend and snap" move made famous by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde.
Jennifer Coolidge played Paulette in Legally Blonde, and she pops up in Ariana's "bend and snap" tribute scene. During their exchange, Ariana makes a dick joke about Pete Davidson. “He was really cute, and, you know, it was really big,” she said.
Ariana's dog Toulouse is channeling Elle Woods's dog Bruiser here, watching a dog on TV while Ariana is studying.
Ariana's version of Elle's orange Apple laptop she gets in the film has a heart instead of an apple.
Ariana's mom and grandmother are in the framed photo during Ariana's manicure scene.
The "7 Rings" license plate on Ariana's Legally Blonde car is a reference to the seven matching diamond rings she and six friends wear now. She replaced her engagement ring from Pete Davidson with her friendship ring.
Behind the beauty salon patrons are some paintings of Ariana.
The UPS delivery man, Paulette's love interest in Legally Blonde, is wearing a BDE uniform (a.k.a. "big dick energy").
Get ready to Mean Girl it up! Some people's boobs can tell if it's raining, you know—including Ariana's friend Alexa Luria, who plays Karen.
Ariana is wearing a shirt that says "A little bit needy," in reference to Regina's original shirt saying, "A little bit dramatic." Grande previously teased an unreleased song called "Needy" on Twitter.
Ariana is wearing an "A" initial necklace, which is just like Regina's "R" necklace.
Ariana and co. paid tribute to the classic Mean Girls choreography.
Kris Jenner popped in (surprise!) as Regina's "cool mom."
Sean's page in Ariana's Burn Book says: "So cute. So sweet. (Could still get it)"
Ariana's Burn Book has a Ricky page, and it says: "Great dancer," "Good times man," and "Friends forever."
And Ariana's Burn Book page for Pete Davidson says "I love u always," "HUUUUGE" (her second joke about his dick size) and "sry I dipped." That last line seems to be her way of apologizing for ending their engagement and relationship at the end of October.
Ariana's dollhouse tribute to 13 Going on 30.
Look familiar? Perhaps because it's a recreation of the bed and bathtub from Ariana's video with Nicki Minaj for "Bed." The Ariana photo in there is a selfie she shared of her breakup haircut (a.k.a. the Jennifer Garner–inspired 13 Going on 30 hairstyle) on social media.
If you look closely, you can see a Frankie Grande poster on the dollhouse wall!
In Ariana's bedroom scene, there's another poster of herself in the background. And is that Frankie with her?
This scene is a recreation of when Bring It On's Torrance and Cliff brush their teeth together. Allll that romantic tension.
See?
See the original post on Youtube
Another Bring It On moment, recalling when Cliff gives Torrance a mixtape of himself singing. But this time it's Ari giving a tape to herself :')
Mmhmm.

Remember how "good" the football team was in Bring It On? Not that good here, either.
Grande and her squad are wearing "TUN" uniforms for "Thank U, Next."
