Thank U, Next." While Bennett is clearly playing himself, in his signature blue sweater, Grande is dressed up as Regina George, cause like sweatpants are the only thing that fit her right now.

Grande and Bennett didn't hesitate in throwing the Mean Girls references back and forth in the comments section. "That's CRAZY......why would I break up with u? Ur so hot," Grande wrote. Bennett hit her back with a, "So you agree?? You think I'm really hot?"

Elizabeth Gilles will be playing Cady Heron, Alexa Luria will take on the iconic Karen and Courtney Chipolone will embody the Toaster Strudel heiress, Gretchen Weiners.
