The ENTIRE Lore in Thank U, Next | Just Dance 2023 

I love how you found a way to bring Night Swan’s serving army into this.

Since both songs are break-up songs, my theory is that each other's maps are the fall out of their break up. Grace came out thankful and moved on while Ari is still feeling bitter about it or is upset that Grace came out happy and healthy

I feel like your third theory could definitely be the right one, given that the JDTeam told Ariana Katana that the two "are close friends" now so.... maybe after the dated and after they broke up, they managed to become friends again?! WE NEED TO KNOW MOOOOORE. Also yes my lady, you look fabulous

I'm wondering... What if the coaches from Happy, Sorry and Blame are named "Pete", "Ricky" and "Sean" respectively? It would keep up with the theme of the Good 4 U coach being named "Ari". Though that does leave out Malcolm, which is a bit hard considering that Marc Miller passed away in 2018.

Is no one talking about the follow up in Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo? It's literally both of them dancing together and embracing each other at the end of the track

I don't think thank you next is a prequel to good 4 u because in the picture between Grace and Ari, Ari is in her final version, while in good 4 u she starts the song in her nerdy version and then changes to her final version. Btw, you are always elegant 😘💅

Having lore is one of the best things the jd team started doing

There’s always so much detail in these lore videos and I love it

5:38 And there it is! Can’t have a LORE video without one!

The only reason why I feel like they didn’t break up is because Ari didn’t wear the outfit that was in the photos until the end of good for you, if it was a prequel then I feel like she would be wearing the first outfit. I kinda feel like they were both friends before then and Ari went through a break up first. I also feel like both songs could take place on different days cause if the time was the same then they both would’ve been in the hallway, plus the halls were clean in the beginning of good 4 u. Maybe after breaking up with her ex she fell in love with grace and after grace broke up with her ex’s she also fell in love with Ari? Lol I don’t really know this is just my theory, but I was honestly wondering how Avery was gonna add the night swan joke lol it still lives on!

Avery you were the one who got me into just dance due to these lore videos; I have started playing and I LOVE IT!!

Oh gosh, I didn’t notice some tiny Easter eggs in the background during the entire song, what a coincidence.

I absolutely love the new 2032 Just Dance of Ariana Grande's. I think it's so good. Thank you for telling us details about what's in the Thank U Next Just Dance 2023.

Leading after your last theory: Since the photo in the locker was Good 4 U C4, possibly after breaking up, Ari started to lose herself, but as Good 4 U goes, she regains confidence, and finds herself.

Speaking of different timelines, 2:13 maybe Baby One More Time and This is How We do are different timelines of cheerleading in Just Dance High School. That would explain the very different uniforms despite being of the same school and both being cheerleaders.

Avery serving w/ lore as always

It could be a reverse of your theory of Ari's taking place in the future. Grace could of heard Ari going off about her ex and goes to comfort her, since Grace has had break ups before. We don't know how the break ups went so she might of had some bad ones. They become friends than soon get a crush on each other or atleast Grace gets a crush on Ari and after her song, Grace goes to ask Ari out.

Great vid as always! I swear I was SO HYPED at the mention of the relationship of the two coaches (Also, I want to mention that I love how passionate you are about the lore, not to mention your history with series! It feels really touching and inspiring to see how far you’ve come as a member of the community!)

Surprising u did the lore for Thank U, Next and good 4 u.

I dont think that thank you next is the prequel because in the photos attached to her locker “ari” is wearing her final costume change if it was a prequel to good 4 u wouldnt have she been in her student costume? Also i love this ship/relationship sm ITS SO CUTE and im so happy JD is adding LGBTQ+ in the series

I think the picture of the, "baby one more time" couches could mean that Grace idolizes them and also joined the sport with the jersey

One theory that might make more sense is that Thank U, Next and Good 4 U occur at the same time. Both songs feature Grace and Ari getting over their exes. Grace moves on happily while Ari is bitter and angry, but then they meet each other and things get better for the both of them. As for whether it’s romantic or platonic, I’d say only time will tell. If the Lore Guardian reveals more then we’ll have more info to deal with.

With so much lore coming from this iteration of Just Dance, I'm surprised MatPat hasn't done a Game Theory on it.

These Just Dance Lore just gets interesting everytime. I love it.

I almost choked a little at the cut of Billy Eichner shouting "let's go lesbians!" from Billy on the Street. I also thought of them as best friends at first, but I'm totally here for JD's potential first confirmed queer couple!

Love these lore videos! Also I always assumed that the guys in Danger High Voltage were gay coded but that could just be me lol.

I don't think that thank u next would be a prequel since in the pictures Ari is already in her outfit from the end of Good 4 U

Omg I just looked at “Vampire” for JD2024 and it has Ari from “Good 4 You” and Grace from “Thank You Next” singing about their breakup, which either happened before or after the timeline of “Good 4 You” since Good 4 You is Ari singing about her breakup.

I watched your gameplay and that cosplay was just yeeees. You have always looked stunning from when we first met though. But I always enjoy watching you rock the outfits and dances on here since you started. I'm invested in your lore vids. been meaning to play JD but now I have nieces old enough to play with it'll be a thing for sure.

I hope Grace and Ari are together after their breakups with previous people. It would be so sad if good 4 u was after they broke up. I don’t want them to break up! They’re too cute😭

In just dance 2024 the song vampire is grace and Ari are dancing together and look like they are getting together as Ari is the prom queen.

I feel like this lore video was an improvement from your last, I like how you metioned other maps and tried to see if they could connected to Thank U Next, Now This Is 100% lore! >_

I think good 4 u isn’t the break up, cause in thank u next Grace takes pics with Ari in her c4 form. Good 4 u starts in her c1 form

This feels different now JD2024E has come out, and the coaches in Vampire are Ari and Grace. Maybe Thank u, Next and Good 4 U are prequels to Vampire, as they are about breaking up.

i love all of the drag race references in your videos! also as a fellow og just dancer (played the games on the wii. got the new ones every year for christmas) i saw your videos recently and it's opened a just dance rabbit hole for me to get back into the series. love the videos!

Loving these lore videos!

I love these lore videos so much

Tysm for all of these videos. They are so entertaining. I just found out about your channel and I love it.

5:13-5:19 I have my own theory about that So I think that you are correct about the part about Grace and the thing you said about how they met. But i think that the roles are swapped. Hear me out So I think what you said about the timeline thing with Grace is correct, but I think that you got the part about Ari wrong. and heres why So i think that Good 4 u is placed first in the timeline and Ari is letting out her emotions about a breakup with one of her ex’s. and then she met Grace and fell in love with her. I also think that Ari is saying thanks to her ex’s and is about to get with Ari or confess her love to Ari thats just what i think!

Watch there be a duet with Grace and Ari…

WAIT, Good 4 u has the same skirt as Thank U Next! OMG

I love these lore videos, I want to go so much deeper into that rabbit hole!

Fun fact: the song vampire has grace and ari and they do a heart at the end! (They are in love)

My theory for the timeline for them (this is after JD24), is Good 4 U, Vampire, the Thank U Next. (I put good 4 U first because Ari has pink hair at the end of Good 4 U and has pink hair in Vampire (That is my only reason, hair color))

5:38 the long eeeeeeeeeeeee and da fart made me dying

I knew this was coming!!!🙌🏻

Awesome video Avery! I love how you’re always able to mention the night swans army that ✨serves✨💋!! Keep up the amazing work.

I was waiting for this one-

There's also the pic of the Hit me Baby one more Time coaches! Possibly those two girls are from that map!

I was Just waiting for this vídeo 🥰

Thank you for this information and video!!!

I love these lore vids!

AHHH I LOOOVE ITT!!!

IF WANDERLUST AND JACK ROSE BECOME CANON IMA SCREAM MY HEAD OFF BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO BE!

I like to think that Happy also goes to JD High School but Happy takes place in a different part of the school

completely agree with the lore building point and representation in this game. I would always watch gameplay dances on youtube back then if i wasn't playing it myself. I always wanted a little more to keep my attention with the games so its nice to watch these and regain my interests

i’m still laughing about the wanderlust and jack rose joke. i need them canon in this series

I love these videos ahahah

girl you should have seen my reaction to this in the discord, i love these two so much i’m so glad you did a video on em

I think Ari's song was before Grace's song, as the hallway and classrooms were messy in grace's song but in ari's song they were clean at the beginning.

Hey Avery, i was watching your old video when u fixed the difficulty ratings, and realised that in Judas, the JD team hints towards night swans army by showing her minions. I think this might have something to do with telephone. Great lore vid btw! Keep up the great work❤

Personally I think they’re just besties helping each other through tough break ups

these are becoming my favorite videos

I thought they were just friends too because of the meaning of the original song but finding out the Good 4 U coach is named Ari??? changes everything - omg I love them

I KNEW IT THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME LORE OF THANK U NEXT

PREACH QUEEN!

I still can't believe that we've gotten to a point where my favorite dance game has lore behind now. This is coming from someone who grew up with just dance since the beginning btw

Nice video 😊

Really hope Grace and Ari are a couple canonically!!! Fingers crossed 🌈

I think they made a great idea with like leaving the 202(?) Updates beside and like just restart

As soon as I played this map and seen the ending I knew this was gonna be in a video

Imagine if they redid the song Girlfriend with Grace and Ari

7:24 love the RPDR reference LOOOL and the small speech u made about queer ppl almost made me cry!! ur beautiful

BAHAHAHAHA I ALREADY SHIPPED WANDERLUST AND JACK ROSE B4 PEOPLE STARTED SAYING THERE MIGHT BE ROMANCE BETWEEN THE TWO

"Night Swan and her entire army that seeeeeeeeeerves" This joke will never die🤣

I love how she mentions jack rose and wanderlust

ok first of all u r So pretty (where r ur earrings from i love them) also something i noticed watching this video, during the chorus when she dances in the classroom there's a chair with the 08 jersey from level up and the chair is placed in a heart on the floor ! as she swipes through her exes (slay) the position of the jersey changes and the chair in the heart is knocked over! i think this especially could align with ur last theory about this map being them together and good4u being after they've broken up!!

So maybe Ari and Grace got f'd over by guys, and then they realised men suck and got together. Both dances would be about their exes before getting together. Iconic if this is true tbh

They might also just be friends since thank u, next talks about spending more time with your friends

Hooo boy it went all around!

I personally think theyre just friends cuz Thank You Next like you said is a song about finding love outside of romance so it’s possible that both Grace and Ari found support in one another as friends helping one another get over their past relationships

Boyfriend by Dove Cameron would be perfect for a song between these two

1:37 it is the same Hallway at good 4 u

WAKE UP LITTLESIHA POSTED 🎉🎉

4:18 You are wrong, we have drop the mambo and can you love me again in sugar

Hi Avery, this is Thatcher aka faz. I’m here telling you about the coaches within the song and their Names. So the coaches for Happy and Blame don’t have a follow up Name but the coach for Sorry name is Trendy so Grace dated three people before hand. With two of them not having names and only one with one official name. This is all what I have for now, Love your content. Bye

I love the RuPauls Drag Race references in these videos.

3:28 that fart made me dying 👇

I'll be real, i have not played just dance since like... the 2nd game...? and I'm much more disabled now so idk if i could even physically play it anymore lmao/// but your passion for the series and the way you talk about it legitimately makes me feel like just dance is the pinnacle of media and it weirdly makes me want to draw fan art??? idk i might fuck around and find out

You are so beautiful and can you do a lore of cant stop the feeling please?! There is so much to talk about in that song

Surprised you didn't give any shout out for Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile magnet in the locker.

So very beautiful ❤️

omg slay ❤

Wait until she sees vampire

I like your voice when u do these lore videos!

I have three theories. 1: Ari had a harsh breakup and grace (her bff) told her to write and dance to a song that she wrote as a big fu to her boyfriend (or girlfriend... DUN DUN DUUN) Theory 2: Ari had a toxic relationship with her boyfriend (or girlfriend... DUN DUN DUUN) and asked grace to help her get over her breakup linking to my first theory Theory 3: Ari had a crush and was going through a hard time because of the breakup so she asked grace to be more than friends...😏 🥴 And she said "hell yas bish f Tyler!"

I definitely think that they are dating, that second pose 😳 also I hope you continue to do the lore videos! They are so entertaining and fun to watch!

The lord=👍 The personality=👍 Outfit=SERVES

I will love you forever if you make a lore vid based on what happened after the events of enter the danceverses. I think it would be so cool to see what happened with Night Swan, Sara, Wanderlust, and so on.

This is what I am thinking, In Good 4 U, Ari broke up with someone. They met at the prom in Vampire and lastly in Thank U, next
