Ariana Grande Wrote an Apology to Pete Davidson in Her 'Thank U, Next' Video
Ariana Grande dropped her highly anticipated music video for “Thank U, Next” on Friday (November 30), and it had all the early-aughts nostalgia fans expected plus a few surprises. The biggest one was probably Kris Jenner, who appears during one of the Mean Girls segments as Regina George’s mother. Obviously, she looked iconic.
But there’s a blink-and-you-missed-it moment that happens early on in the video—also during a Mean Girls montage—that’s just as surprising. It turns out Grande’s “Thank U, Next” Burn Book is filled with notes and musings about her ex-boyfriends. Most are lighthearted and funny (she writes Big Sean, her boyfriend from 2014 to 2015, could still “get it”), but her message to Pete Davidson—her latest ex whom, remember, she almost married—is a bit more serious.
“Sorry I dipped,” Grande writes to Davidson, opting for “SRY” instead of the whole word. “I love you always.” (She also wrote “HUUUUUUUGE” at the bottom of his page, which…we’ll let you interpret what that means.)

It’s a short but telling message. The last time Grande referenced Davidson in public was right before she dropped the song “Thank U, Next”—when she seemingly subtweeted him after he joked about their engagement. “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh,” she tweeted (and later deleted) at the beginning of November. Her note in the video, though, suggests there’s still love between the two of them.

This is the second music video Grande has released this month. In early November she dropped the visual for “Breathin’.”
