"Victorious" costars Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, and Matt Bennett reunited six years after the Nickelodeon show ended to sing popular tracks from it.
Grande, who rose to fame as Cat Valentine on the sitcom that lasted from 2010 to 2013, performed in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday evening as part of her Sweetener World Tour. She surprised fans by bringing out Gillies (Jade West) and Bennett (Robbie Shapiro) to perform two songs.
Bennett played "I Think You're Swell" from season three's episode titled "The Blonde Squad," which his character sang to Cat after a boy broke up with her because he preferred blondes.
You can see part of the rendition in the videos below, which were captured by @arianaxgiaw.
