I'm not even kidding when I say Music Twitter has been poppin' off this week! Just in these last few days, we've had Lil Nas X clapping back at the haters after his BET Awards performance, Halsey announcing a brand new album with Trent Reznor (no biggie!), and Mariah Carey leading the love and support for Britney Spears! And that's not all! Cancel your Zoom meetings, then, as it's time for the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments after the jump!

LIL NAS X CLAPS BACK AT THE HATERS AFTER HIS BET AWARDS PERFORMANCE

The fact people are daring to come for Lil Nas X after he gave one of the most groundbreakingly important performances in BET Awards history? THE AUDACITY! My Twitter King absolutely stole the show with "Call Me by Your Name," and that kiss was quite frankly the perfect end to Pride Month! Stay quaking, haters!

 

CARDI B IS PREGNANT WITH HER SECOND CHILD, AND I'M SO EXCITED

When I tell you I screamed when Cardi B turned up at the BET Awards with a whole damn bump poking out of her rhinestone jumpsuit! Cardi is already the best mom ever to Kulture, and I'm so excited to see her do it all over again with Baby #2! Can we also talk about the fact this is the most breathtaking photoshoot ever?

 

KATY PERRY WISHED ARIANA GRANDE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO EARLY

Katy Perry sending Ariana Grande birthday wishes a day too early is honestly the kind of extra energy I live for! Katy was so desperate to unleash her inner stan that she forgot to check the damn date before doing so! As for the whole best living vocalist thing, I'm thinking Mariah Carey would like a word? Just sayin'!

 

TAYLOR SWIFT AND ED SHEERAN ARE STILL BFFS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Whatever you think of Ed Sheeran's music and his comeback song "Bad Habits," you can't deny he and Taylor Swift are still BFF goals after all of these years! Just one question: Are we or are we not getting a brand new recording of "Everything Has Changed" on Red (Taylor's Version)? THE SWIFTIES NEED TO KNOW!

 

HALSEY IS ABOUT TO DROP AN ALBUM PRODUCED BY TRENT REZNOR

That moment when you think Halsey has been busy over the last few months cooking up a baby, when she's actually busy over the last few months cooking up a baby and a whole damn album! And it's produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross? Excuse me while I spontaneously combust! This is about to be unbelievably badass!

 

DOJA CAT REVEALS SHE ISN'T THE BIGGEST FAN OF DOJA CAT

Doja Cat disrespecting Doja Cat? COULDN'T BE ME! Jokes aside, Planet Her is one of the best albums of the year, and it's genuinely sad to me Doja isn't able to hear that for herself! Here's hoping in a few weeks, months, or maybe even years, Doja is finally able to appreciate what an incredible work of art it is!

 

SZA ENCOUNTERED OUR FUTURE ROBOT OVERLORDS

WHAT KIND OF FRESH HELL IS THIS? This is honestly why I don't leave the house anymore! That said, this is a whole lot cuter than those horrific robot dogs that went viral a few months ago! If we do end up being overtaken by cybernetic overloads, I'd definitely prefer they looked something like this little guy!

 

TYLER, THE CREATOR ROASTS A PEDANTIC FAN

One thing Tyler, the Creator is going to do is roast! The Odd Future rapper recently took time out from holding a Q&A with fans about CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST to own this particular pedant who took issue with the ushanka Tyler is wearing on the album front cover! Am I the only one who can practically hear his voice reading this tweet? Haha!

 

MILEY CYRUS IS LETTING HER FANS CHOOSE HER FESTIVAL SET LIST

"FWEAKY!" "SPACE BOOTZ!" "KAREN DON'T BE SAD!" I COULD GO ON! Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz is one of the most underrated pop albums of the century, but people aren't ready to have that conversation! Oh, and I can't be the only one who'd love to hear Miley performing a brand new version of "7 Things," right? RIGHT?

 

MARIAH CAREY LEADS LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR BRITNEY SPEARS

Queens supporting queens! We love you, Britney Spears!
