A couple of actors from Mean Girls, along with a handful of YouTubers, came together to generate buzz for Ariana Grande's upcoming music video. How else would a 24-year-old promote her music? Read on for details.

The first teaser for Ariana Grande‘s highly anticipated “Thank U, Next” video dropped on Monday night, and it features some fetch cameos.
In the clip — shared across Grande’s social media channels — Mean Girls stars Jonathan Bennett and Stefanie Drummond, as well as musician Troye Sivan and YouTubers Colleen Ballinger and Gabi DeMartino (among others) parody the iconic “Who is Regina George?” scene from Tina Fey’s 2004 teen comedy.
Rather than spread rumors about Rachel McAdams’ character, of course, all are here to gossip about Grande.
“One time on Twitter, I heard Ariana was pregnant, so I got pregnant so we can be pregnant at the same time,” Ballinger (A.K.A. Miranda Sings) begins, the camera panning out to show her growing baby bump. “Turns out it was just a rumor.”
“I heard she’s a lesbian now and dating some chick called Aubrey,” Sivan quips. “It’s f—ing sick.”
Bennett appears to reprise his Mean Girls‘ role of Aaron Samuels by quoting one of the film’s most memorable lines. “Ariana Grande told me my hair looked sexy pushed back,” he says, adding, “She’s not wrong!”
And Drummond — who played Bethany Byrd in Mean Girls, the student who famously said, “One time, she punched me in the face. It was awesome” — delivers a jab about Grande’s cancelled engagement to Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
