It's a Victorious reunion!
![]()
Ariana Grande reunited with her former co-stars Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett during her Sweetener Tour stop in Atlanta on Tuesday, November 19!
The 26-year-old singer and the 26-year-old actor threw it back to their Nickelodeon days by performing their hit "Give It Up" from the show. Bennett sang "I Think You're Swell" from the series live on stage, and fans lost it.
"The best moment of my life @lizgillz," Grande wrote on Instagram Stories alongside footage of their duet.
Bennett, 28, also took the State Farm Arena stage to play a little guitar.
Gillies and Bennett joined Grande again during her finale performance of "Thank U, Next", in which the trio walked alongside each other, and the three posed together backstage.
The celebs also posted photos of the mini-reunion on Instagram.
"I love u forever," Grande wrote underneath Gillies' pic. "U sang sang sang."
"The most special show to me yet. Truly," Grande wrote on her Twitter. "Love u. This was too much to process and don’t know what to say yet but so grateful and thrilled. Love u forever @LizGillies @MattBennett."
Back on Instagram Stories, Grande also sent her love to her other Victorious costars who couldn't make it, tagging Victoria Justice, Leon Thomas, Daniella Monet, and Avan Jogia. "Look how special this is," she wrote. "We love you and wish you all could have been here tonight."
Needless to say, fans were pretty excited to see the stars back together.
Liam Hemsworth's (Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) new girlfriend Maddison Brown was in the crowd and shared her own photo from the night on her Instagram. Brown and Gillies are co-stars on The CW's Dynasty, which shoots in Atlanta. "LIVING LEGENDS" the actor wrote on Instagram.
After all, it had been a while since viewers saw these three together.
Prior to the show, Grande teased on her Twitter that something big was happening at her Atlanta Sweetener concert last night, and she wasn't overselling it.
As fans will recall, Grande played Cat Valentine on the hit Nickelodeon comedy series while Gillies played Jade West. As for Bennett, he played Robbie Shapiro.
The show ran from 2010 to 2013.
Watch the videos to see footage of the reunion and enjoy the trip down memory lane!
As a reminder, Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies originally sang "Give It Up" on Victorious NINE years ago! It's crazy to see how far they've both come:
And here's a throwback of Bennett's character serenading Grande's character with "I Think You're Swell":
