Ariana Grande has finally released the video for ‘thank u, next’

Bring it On

After a period of teasers and behind-the-scenes previews that felt like it lasted for our entire lives, Ariana Grande has released the video for “thank u, next”. With Ariana embodying every teen screen queen from Regina George to Torrance Shipman to Elle Woods, it’s an ode to all the pink-hued rom-coms that defined our adolescence. 

The breezy break-up song is Ariana’s most honest ever, directly referencing a bunch of her exes (including her recently broken-off engagement to comedian Pete Davidson – “Even almost got married / And for Pete I’m so thankful”), and her relationship with her dad.

Watch the video above, and look out for a "cool mom" cameo from Kris Jenner.
