- 🎵 Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department continues to inspire posts across social media, with her lyric “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” on the track Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? taking the internet by storm. Numerous memes have been inspired by the lyric, with brands, politicians, and many others jumping on board.
- 🦁🎾 In movie news, Disney released a teaser trailer for a new Lion King movie, which is set to hit theaters on December 20. Meanwhile, Luca Guadagnino’s tennis film Challengers starring Zendaya has been a huge success, currently sitting at an 89% certified fresh review on Rotten Tomatoes.
- 🎙️ Now over to the rap world, where an escalating feud is taking place. Kendrick Lamar dropped his new single yesterday, titled Euphoria. In the song, he fires several disses at Drake, who recently fired off at Lamar. The response comes following several disses between rappers such as J Cole, Rick Ross, Future, and A$AP Rocky.
- 👟 Have you ever heard of a Snoafer? No? There’s a reason for that. This past week, New Balance announced their new “snoafer” shoes, which are a combination of sneakers and loafers. While the shoes don’t officially release until August, they have already been memed several times on social media.
- ✨ The Met Gala is coming up next week on Monday, May 6, and many are already hypothesizing about how celebrities will interpret this year’s dress code “The Garden of Time”. Keep an eye out for trends and reactions to the event, as it’s bound to be a hot topic on social media next week.
- 🌭 Finally, over in the Big Apple, a giant hot dog has gone on display in Times Square, and will remain there until June 13! The 65-foot long frank is known as “Hot Dog in The City” and was created by artist duo Jen Cantron and Paul Outlaw. If you catch the installation at the right time, you can see it rise into the sky and fire off confetti out of one end at noon each day.
