If, like us, you are ready to declare the release date of Ariana Grande's new 'Thank U, Next' music video a national holiday because you are THAT amped to see it, well, we have some news that will only make you more excited for the vid/frustrated that it's not out yet: Ariana got Jonathan Bennett, aka the actor who played Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls, to co-star.

Ariana has been teasing the rom-coms that she's going to spoof for a few days now (13 Going on 30, Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, and Bring It On), and she's recently shared that she'll also have an OG member from the Mean Girls cast to star with her too.

She shared a pic of her with Aaron — we mean, Jonathan – and the rest of her Mean Girls posse with the caption "way too damn needy."

And Jonathan also shared a few photos of them two on set, captioning one with "Aaron ❤️ Regina" and following that up with another photo of the two of them saying: "You're like really pretty."

So basically, we're now even more excited for this music video to drop.
