One taught me love, one taught me patience...

Good day to no one except Ariana Grande, who has rescued each and every one of us from the winter blues with her nostalgia-fest of a music video for "thank u, next".

In case you missed it (but let's face it, you did not), this video was replete with parodies of pretty much all of our fave movies from the early 2000s. We had Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, Bring it On, and 13 Going on 30.

Ariana dressed up in full Elle Woods regalia, complete with an outfit-clad pooch. And, yes, you'd better believe Reese Witherspoon loved every minute.

She tweeted a side-by-side shot of the two Elles alongside the caption "thank u, next #ElleWoodsForever".

Reese also mentioned Ariana's version of one of our favourite moments from the movie.

Of course, Reese Witherspoon's iconic character wasn't the only one parodied by Ariana.

Ari also referenced Jennifer Garner's character, Jenna Rink, in 13 Going On 30. Jennifer Garner also wrote a touching message to Ariana.

"Every now and then something comes along and just brightens your day," she wrote. "Ariana Grande, you're adorable. Thank you, pretty girl."

Then, a lovely exchange ensued between the two.
