Liam Hemsworth is no stranger to sharing his adoration for Miley Cyrus, and given that she’s just dropped a new EP and has a forthcoming Black Mirror episode, he has even more reason to be proud of his pop star wife. On Friday night, hours after releasing the tracks, Cyrus performed at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival, stacking four of the first five slots on her setlist with new tunes, Billboard reports.

Cyrus took to the ‘gram on Saturday to express her gratitude for being able to perform at the festival (she took Cardi B’s spot, who’d recently “dropped off the bill,” reports Billboard). Along with her words were a series of beautiful photos of her getting ready for her set in her dressing room, which seem to have been taken by Hemsworth (the photographer is also captured in one shot). The first is a very rock-star-looking picture of her looking ready to step out on stage at any second: She even has her sunglasses on. Next up is a cute selfie of the two of them together—Hemsworth looking rightfully proud—and the third photo is of Hemsworth taking a picture of Miley (so it seems there might be a second, mystery photographer, too…).

These two are clearly continuing to live it up as they get started on month six of being hitched, between being dubbed the Met Gala’s Hottest Couple (in Glamour.com’s own estimation) and turning it up on the red carpet for the Avengers premiere in April. Now, with Cyrus’ new singles out in the world, we’re looking forward to even more adorable Instagram Husband moments from Hemsworth as the singer promotes the new drop.

I love Joseph Kahn‘s music videos. If you’re unfamiliar with his work, he’s helmed some of the most important pop clips in history—Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” Lady Gaga’s “LoveGame,” and all the best videos from Taylor Swift’s 1989 album. He also directed Swift’s most recent video, “Look What You Made Me Do.” The man is talented—insanely talented. The “Womanizer” video is literally why I’m gay.

But goddamnit, Kahn’s talking is getting in the way of my love for his videos. First, he tweeted about how cultural appropriation is “hot” and actually not bad at all. Then, he came for the BeyHive, which is just a fundamental mistake in 2017. And now he’s pitting Swift and Beyoncé against each other for no reason at all.

Let’s back up: When Swift teased her “Look What You Made Me Do” video before the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, people started saying she ripped off Beyoncé’s Formation era. Of course, the comparisons went away after Swift dropped the full video. Truthfully, they’re not really that similar—which Kahn said in a (very rational) tweet right before the video was released.

His latest comments about the situation, however, are not rational. Instead of putting the Bey vs. Taylor fire out for good, Kahn chose to say this in his recent interview with the Los Angeles Times:

“[‘Look What You Made Me Do’ is] not ‘Formation’ at all. They try to say she’s wearing a black
crop top and Beyoncé wore a black crop top. But they don’t realize in
2015 in ‘Bad Blood,’ Taylor Swift was wearing a black crop top. I
really do think, by the way, that Beyoncé copied ‘Bad Blood.’”

Um, what? Beyoncé copied the “Bad Blood” video? How? When? Hold up, let me conduct a thorough receipt investigation:

Still looking. Stand by.

Almost done.

There are none. At no point in Beyoncé’s Lemonade did she throw on a red wig and recruit a group of Victoria’s Secret models to wage an intergalactic war against Selena Gomez’s bob. She didn’t wear latex or knee-high boots and stomp around while Lena Dunham smoked a cigar. She didn’t have a kiki with three Hailee Steinfelds. Where is Kahn getting his info? Taylor Swift Fan Theory Tumblr?

Honestly, this is all just so dumb. Swift and Kahn silenced the Beyoncé copycat haters when they released the “Look What You Made Me Do” clip in full. The video is 100 percent original—and good! I watch it 20 times a day, minimum. The work speaks for itself.

However, these quotes will spark another war between the fandoms—and we’re creating more drama between two female artists where there really isn’t any. The criticisms of Swift’s new video were valid when we only had a five-second preview of it, but they’re not anymore. And neither is the notion that Beyoncé’s main inspiration for Lemonade was a nunchucks-wielding Cara Delevingne. Let’s not make any more bad blood.
