"They probably couldn't get in touch with me I guess, I don't know," Lohan who was promoting her new MTV show, "Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club" said when McCarthy asked why she wasn't in the video herself. "Not that easy to just fly in from Dubai."

Lohan also said that if she had been asked and if she were "in town" at the time, she would've done it.
"I loved the video. I like her a lot," Lohan said. "It was all really cute."
Grande's music video included two cameos from the original "Mean Girls" cast: Jonathan Bennett, who played Aaron Samuels, and Stefanie Drummond, who played Bethany Byrd (aka the "army pants and flip-flops" girl).
Other cameos included Kris Jenner , who took on the role of Regina's mom that was originally played by Amy Poehler , and Jennifer Coolidge, who plays Paulette Bonafont in "Legally Blonde."

The video's director, Hannah Lux Davis, described the process of choosing cameos in an interview with The Muse, saying that they weren't really trying to land the main stars in the movies they were recreating.
"The process of shooting was really fast, so it was like: Who is the most iconic for me to want who isn't the main character?" she explained. "Obviously we would be thrilled if Reese Witherspoon was in it, but it didn't necessarily call for that. That might be too on the nose."
"It was some of the other characters, like the 'army pants and flip flops' girl, that made it feel so authentic," she continued. "For Aaron Samuels, one of Ariana Grande's management knew him and we were able to work that connection, and then we tried to get Warner from 'Legally Blonde,' but he was unavailable."
