It's hard to believe that Tori Vega (Victoria Justice) first entered Hollywood Arts a whopping seven years ago as of Monday (March 27). She and the squad have come a long way since Victorious's pilot (even if we're still pissed we never got a proper series finale). To mark the occasion, fans started the hashtag #7YearsOfVictorious, a continuation of the same idea they pulled off in 2016.
The main cast — including Ariana Grande — joined in on the nostalgic fun, tweeting and 'gramming their feelings about the Nickelodeon show that they appeared on in their youth. The best of those remembrances are below. [Note: Nickelodeon and MTV News are both owned by Viacom.]
-
Ariana Grande (Cat Valentine) confessed what she missed about the show
In case you need a refresher, Bibble is a fake British product that Cat becomes addicted to in one episode.
-
Elizabeth Gillies (Jade West) commented on a fan's tweet about "7 years of Bade"
"Interesting," she wrote. "In the first one, Avan looks terrified. In the second one, I look terrified. What does it mean..." Hours later, Gillies tweeted, "Can't believe that it's already been 7 years since Victorious first aired! Nuts. Loving all your tweets. You guys keep it alive. Happy 7th 😘."
-
Even better, Gillies lost it when another fan shared pics of a young Bade
"BABIES," she captioned, with Avan Jogia (Beck Oliver) adding, "Tiny tiny people."
-
Matt Bennett (Robbie Shapiro) had an epic mic drop after a fan tweeted a clip of Robbie singing about broken glass
When another fan retweeted this and asked Bennett when his new album would drop, the actor and musician sent him a link to his debut album, Terminal Cases — the one that came out last summer.
-
Justice thanked all the fans for their sweet memories through the years
-
While Leon Thomas III (Andre Harris) was simply shocked by how fast the time went
Same.
-
But Daniella Monet (Trina Vega) shared the most memories on social media. Homegirl went to town with photos
-
Finally, series creator Dan Schneider posted his contribution for the anniversary
Long live Victorious.
