Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" music video has finally arrived. The masterpiece is full of early 2000s movie references and celebrity appearances, but the biggest surprise of the vid is a cameo from Kris Jenner.
The momager appears in a scene recreating the "Jingle Bell Rock" performance in Mean Girls, where she plays Regina George's mom (originally portrayed by Amy Poehler). Jenner is perfect for the role, rocking a pink tracksuit with a camcorder in hand, dancing in the audience. She may as well have been recreating her "You're doing amazing, sweetie" moment.

To top off her dancing-in-the-auditorium scene, Jenner also offers the perfect finale to the video. After the sequence appears to end and fade to black, the visuals cut back to Kris, still clutching her camcorder. She calls out from her seat: "Thank you, next, bitch!" *End scene*

Although Kris' role comes as a surprise, Kim previously teased that the Kardashians would have some involvement with Grande's latest hit. She tweeted on November 19, "I just witnessed the best funniest thing OF ALL TIME OMG @ArianaGrande."
After the video released, Kris perfectly quoted one of Mrs. George's famous Mean Girls quotes to share her performance. "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom," she tweeted.
Twitter freaked out over the surprise appearance.
In addition to Kris Jenner, Grande also had cameos from singer Troye Sivan, Mean Girls' Jonathan Bennett, Legally Blonde's Jennifer Coolidge, and her former Victorious costars Liz Gillies, Matt Bennett, and Daniella Monet.
