Taylor Swift Liked A Bunch of Fan Posts About That New Kanye West Phone Call Footage


Oh boy, the saga bewteen Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian continues after new video from the 2016 call between Swift and West leaked on March 22. While none of the celebs involved have issued public statements about this new layer of drama, Taylor Swift seems to be showing how she feels in a more subtle way.

If you remember, the whole situation involves West’s 2016 song “Famous,” in which he name-drops Swift in lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.” Shortly after the song dropped, Swift said through a statement that she found the lyrics to be “misogynistic.”

However, Kardashian and West insisted they ran the song by the pop star before it was even released. Kardashian even took to Snapchat to prove their side of the story, releasing a recording of the call they had with Swift in which West explains some of the premises to her. Swift can be heard enjoying a lyric shared by the rapper, which led many people to accuse her of lying and playing the victim.

But in new, extended footage of the call, West never mentions the “bitch” line at all, which seems to confirm Swift’s original story. During the conversation, you can hear Swift specifically tell West she’s glad he didn’t call her a “bitch” in the song. “I’m glad it’s not mean though,” she said on the call. “It doesn’t feel mean, but like, oh my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like that stupid dumb bitch, like, but it’s not.”

On Tumblr, several fans have been posting memes and statements praising Swift, who they feel has been vindicated after four long years. According to the Daily Mail, Swift seems to have gone on a bit of a Tumblr spree herself by liking a bunch of these posts. Here are some of the posts reportedly “liked” by her account:

There you have it, at least for now. Swift’s currently staying at home and encouraging fans to do the same during the COVID-19 pandemic. As for the Kardashian-Wests, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Normani Just Commented on Camila Cabello’s Past Racist Posts for the First Time


Normani just broke her silence on Camila Cabello‘s past racist social media posts, which the “Havana” singer apologized for last year. (The two performed in the pop group Fifth Harmony together from 2012 to 2016.)

“I want to be very clear about what I’m going to say on this uncomfortable subject and figured it would be best to write out my thoughts to avoid being misconstrued, as I have been in the past,” she told Rolling Stone magazine. “I struggled with talking about this because I didn’t want it to be a part of my narrative, but I am a black woman, who is a part of an entire generation that has a similar story.”

“I face senseless attacks daily, as does the rest of my community,” she continued. “This represents a day in the life for us. I have been tolerating discrimination far before I could even comprehend what exactly was happening. Direct and subliminal hatred has been geared toward me for many years solely because of the color of my skin.”

“It would be dishonest if I said that this particular scenario didn’t hurt me,” she said, referring to Cabello’s past posts and also online bullying she experienced from fans during the Fifth Harmony days. “It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood, because I knew that if the tables were turned, I would defend each of them in a single heartbeat. It took days for her to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans.”

Normani added, “I don’t want to say that this situation leaves me hopeless because I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity for personal growth. I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this. I hope there is genuine understanding about why this was absolutely unacceptable.”

Cabello was called out in 2019, when a Twitter user posted a thread of screenshots allegedly from her old Tumblr account that showed her using racially insensitive language and reblogging a number of racist and xenophobic tropes and images.

“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” Cabello wrote in December 2019, referencing the posts. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”

“I apologized then and I apologize now,” Cabello continued. “I would never intentionally hurt anyone and I regret it from the bottom of my heart. As much as I wish I could, I can’t go back in time and change things I said in the past. But once you know better, you do better and that’s all I can do.”

Cabello added, “I’m 22 now, I’m an adult and I’ve grown and learned and am conscious and aware of the history and the pain it carries in a way I wasn’t before. Those mistakes don’t represent the person I am or a person I’ve ever been. I only stand and have ever stood for love and inclusivity, and my heart has never, even then, had any ounce of hate or divisiveness.”

Courtney Cox Likes Instagram Posts About Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's SAGs Reunion


On Sunday evening, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt gave the world what they’ve been waiting for: an extremely brief, but extremely sweet, reunion at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The approximately two-second handhold sent fans all over the world into a frenzy—including Anniston’s real-life bestie, Courtney Cox.

It all started when cameras caught a backstage moment of the former couple congratulating each other over their respective SAG wins—the reunion was definitely affectionate with Pitt grabbing Aniston’s arm. The interaction sent the Internet into nostalgia overload, including Aniston’s former Friends co-star. Buzzfeed noticed that Cox liked every single social media post about the duo’s reunion posted by the aggregate Instagram account Comments By Celebs. Though Cox never commented directly on the posts we all know what those likes really mean… that she, too, stans a healthy, mature, and friendly demeanor with an ex who shares the same profession.

Cox wasn’t alone in her appreciation for the Pitt and Aniston reunion; several A-listers posted under the photos shared by Comments by Celebs. Rumor Willis wrote, “my tender heart can’t take this,” while Morgan Stewart added, “I’m not emotionally prepared to handle this at this stage in my life.”

Even Brooklyn Decker got in on the action on one post, tossing out a conspiracy theory that Aniston’s finger slipped under Pitt’s lapel.

As for Aniston, she took all the fanfare in stride. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Aniston said the public’s obsession with her and Pitt’s friendship was all “hysterical,” adding, “but what else are they going to talk about?”

Answer: Nothing. This is all we will talk about…for days. Or, until Pitt makes a cameo on The Morning Show. Fingers crossed.

Chrissy Teigen Posts 'Cheer' Parody on Instagram


Hey, Monica Aldama, consider this Chrissy Teigen’s Navarro audition.

Teigen recently took to social media to share a parody she and her assistant made of Netflix’s Cheer, and honestly, the Instagram video is funny enough to land the celeb a coveted spot on the team.

In the hilarious clip, Teigen stretches her splits while her assistant, Christine, does crunches nearby. They both lament their chances of making it on mat (if you know, you know) before name-dropping everyone’s favorite “stunter” from the series, Jerry.

Teigen, like most of us, has grown completely addicted to Netflix’s newest docu-series which follows a cheerleading squad from Corsicana, Texas, as they prepare to win another national title. The sheer talent of the team is enough to get anyone, even cheerleading novices, hooked on the show, but it’s the awe-inspiring stories of each of the members that will have you bawling your eyes out by the time the squad competes in Daytona.

This isn’t the first time Teigen has shared her thoughts on the Internet’s current obsession. Earlier in the week, the cookbook author posted a throwback from her own high school cheerleading days claiming to have “sucked” at the sport (her splits would’ve fooled us).

“Watching cheer on Netflix got me reminiscing about how i sucked at cheerleading almost as much as I sucked at doing my brows,” she captioned a shot of her posing in her red and white uniform, complete with pom poms. “Truly no idea how I made this team. The best part is they claimed there was no JV/varsity but one squad got to cheer for basketball and football and the other (mine) got volleyball and wrestling. I still remember my mat cheers though. Go fight win baby. Go fight win.”

Perhaps Teigen’s video will persuade Aldama, Navarro’s tough but loving coach, to start an all-celebrity squad. Cheering With the Stars, anyone?

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Official Instagram Blocks Tagged Posts


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are nothing if not consistent in that they are very clearly going to do this royal thing their way. From being more open than other members of the family about their struggles with the media to their insistence on as much privacy as possible for baby Archie, the Sussexes aren’t conforming to the norms that came before them. “I think the grass is always greener. You have no idea. It’s really hard to understand what it’s like. I know what it seems like it should be, but it’s a very different thing,” Markle said in the documentary of their trip to Africa earlier this year.

And ever since the couple set up their own Instagram account—separate from Prince William and Kate Middleton—they have also established their own social media vibe. Sometimes it’s as simple as using emojis or as headline making as unfollowing other royal accounts in order to shine a light on organizations they care about.

In another move that’s a departure from the other official royal accounts like @TheRoyalFamily and @KensingtonRoyal, royal fans and media outlets noticed that the Sussexes have blocked their followers from seeing tagged posts. (If you go to their tagged section, you see “no posts yet.”) Of course, we don’t know exactly why they’ve made this decision, but it’s not hard to deduce that it’s another way to protect their privacy. Also, as any royal fan knows, there have been some corners of the internet where racist language and imagery have been used to talk about Markle and perhaps limiting access to that narrative is another reason.

While the Cambridges’ account, as well as the queen’s, allows for tagged posts to be viewed, both sections look pretty curated when you click on them. For example, on Middleton and Prince William’s Instagram, the majority of the tagged posts are actually just…posts from Kensington Royal.

So, basically, this is not that big of a deal and their’s no need to criticize their decision. Keep doing you, Sussexes.

Camila Cabello Apologizes for Her ‘Embarrassingly Ignorant’ Social Media Posts


Once you post something on the internet, it’s never really gone—no matter how long ago you deleted it. Right now, Camila Cabello is finding out what happens when those posts resurface.

Here’s what happened, in case you don’t spend all your free time on the socials. A Twitter user named @motivatefenty posted a thread with a number of screenshots from (what is believed to be) Cabello’s old Tumblr account that show her using racially insensitive language and reblogging a number of racist or xenophobic tropes and images.

The 22-year-old singer then posted an apology to Twitter and Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 18. “When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” she writes. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”

“I apologized then and I apologize now,” Cabello continues. ““I would never intentionally hurt anyone and I regret it from the bottom of my heart. As much as I wish I could, I can’t go back in time and change things I said in the past. But once you know better, you do better and that’s all I can do.”

She adds that she has grown and changed since the time when she was posting those things to Tumblr and now uses her platforms “to speak out about injustice and inequality.”

“I’m 22 now, I’m an adult and I’ve grown and learned and am conscious and aware of the history and the pain it carries in a way I wasn’t before,” she says. “Those mistakes don’t represent the person I am or a person I’ve ever been. I only stand and have ever stood for love and inclusivity, and my heart has never, even then, had any ounce of hate or divisiveness.”

Read Cabello’s full apology below.
