10 TWITTER MOMENTS: MACHINE GUN KELLY POPS THE QUESTION

by Jess Grant

I'm afraid to report that, three weeks in, the Wordle phenomenon is continuing to overtake social media faster than a BTS selfie. I think Twitter user Emily Coleman put it better than most with this truly hilarious tweet:

Facts, much? Wordle aside, it's been a busy seven days on Music Twitter. Cancel your Hump Day plans, then, as it's time to scroll through the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, Rihanna, Cardi B, and more!

MACHINE GUN KELLY POPS THE QUESTION

Not one to be outdone by Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian, Machine Gun Kelly finally popped the question to Megan Fox last week. I have to hand it to Colson. While he may have dressed like a Foot Locker employee before getting down on one knee, he most definitely came through with this ring featuring his and her birthstones.

 

RIHANNA IS TAKING "A COMMERCIAL BREAK"

"A commercial break?" Rihanna, girl, it's been six years. That's not what I call "a commercial break." That's what I call "a commercial retirement." Anyways. Can we take a moment to appreciate the incredible sneakers-meet-cowboy boots Riri is wearing in these photos? And can somebody tell me why I never look this good without makeup?

 

CARDI B IS BORED OF BEING FAMOUS

Me when my tweet gets more than 10 likes. Jokes aside, I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to trade places with Cardi B. As for me, I'll happily take the millions in the bank, but pass on the fame part. Can you imagine actually having to interact with people every time you step out of your door? No, thank you.

 

DIONNE WARWICK IS THE OSCARS HOST WE DESERVE

Forget those Tom Holland rumors. Dionne Warwick is the only host I want to see at this year's Academy Awards. Auntie Dionne would have no time for foolishness like long acceptance speeches and bad comic interludes. Oh, and while we're at it, can we also book Dionne to host the GRAMMYs and perhaps even the MTV VMAs? Just saying.

 

BRITNEY SPEARS RESPONDS TO JAMIE LYNN

Me every time Britney Spears brings out the Notes app:

 

MARIAH CAREY ENDS WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

William Shakespeare could quite literally never? It's no secret Mariah Carey is an iconic vocalist, but her lyrics are the stuff of legend, too. Mimi will stop at absolutely nothing to find a rhyme scheme. Case in point: "Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex/Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex."

 

JOE JONAS AND FRANCIS BOURGEOIS MUST BE PROTECTED

Joe Jonas teaming up with TikTok trainspotting sensation Francis Bourgeois? This is the purest, most wholesome thing I've ever seen in my entire life. We must protect this friendship at all costs. No, really, if you need a smile on your face today, then I thoroughly recommend you spend the next few hours binging Francis' content.

 

JENSEN MCRAE CELEBRATES A YEAR OF "IMMUNE"

Can you believe it's been a whole year since Jensen McRae went viral on Twitter with her Phoebe Bridgers parody vaccination song, "Immune?" It's kind of depressing to think we'd barely heard of Delta then, let alone Omicron *sigh*. Anyways. Phoebe really needs to cover this song in order to bring the entire thing full circle.

 

HALSEY IS BINGING EUPHORIA

That moment when you think Halsey is talking about That '70s Show, but then you realize this is actually a reference to Euphoria. Am I old? Seriously, though, I really need to find the time to check this show out. My timeline is freaking out over Season 2, not to mention I'm definitely missing out on some Peak Zendaya Content™.
