Ariana Grande Changed the Bend and Snap So She Wouldn't Get Sued — But Reese Witherspoon Loves It

Ariana Grande‘s “Thank U, Next” video might have paid homage to some of Hollywood’s biggest romcoms, but one scene needed a quick fix to avoid a lawsuit.

The singer, 25, opened up to Reese Witherspoon on Twitter after the 42-year-old Oscar winner gushed about Grande’s inclusion of her hit 2001 film Legally Blonde and the iconic Bend and Snap routine.

“Can we please talk about @ArianaGrande‘s Bend and Snap?! 10/10 nailed it! #thankunext,” Witherspoon tweeted.

Grande retweeted it and revealed the Bend and Snap needed a little “twist” to make it onto the video.

“Omg we tried to put our own twist on it so legal wouldn’t come for us but THANK U. this is the biggest honor. love u more than words,” Grande wrote back.

When a fan tweeted, “Ariana Grande and Jennifer Coolidge doing the bend and snap has given me the energy to live for at least another year,” Witherspoon responded with “A lifetime” and a crying emoji.

While Grande does the Bend and Snap upright as Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods teaches an entire nail salon in the film, the “breathin” singer puts her own flare to the move by crossing her arms over her chest and flinging her hands out at shoulder level.
