Tina Fey Reacts to Ariana Grande's 'Mean Girls'-Themed 'Thank U, Next' Video

Ariana Grande's video for "Thank U, Next" has now reached 323 million views on YouTube. It's is one of the most successful music videos on the site, and it's all thanks to Ms. Norbury from Mean Girls. Well, not really--but she did play a part.

Tina Fey, writer of Mean Girls, has recently admitted that she thinks the video was great. "Thank U, Next," which first and foremost is a nod to the 2004 fan-favorite film, has gotten Fey's approval.

During an interview on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fey revealed that she got the news the video was dropping from her daughter.

"I got a text from my 13-year-old being like, ‘The video’s dropping in three minutes! Ariana’s dropping a video, it’s going to have Mean Girls in it!’” Fey said before joking, “I was like, ‘You’re at school, why do you have your phone?'” She later went on to ask Jimmy, "Pretty cool, right?"

The video not only includes Jonathan Bennett reprising his role as Aaron Samuels, but also stars Troye Sivan, Kris Jenner, and Jennifer Coolidge. Mean Girls isn't the only movie Grande pays homage too either. Legally Blonde, Bring It On, and 13 Going On 30 are all imitated in the video.
