This week, we bid farewell to the "Open for a Surprise" meme thanks to Twitter finally removing the dreaded crop! Mariah Carey, Troye Sivan, and Chloe Bailey were among the celebs to take advantage of the redesign, not to mention this really, really, really long cat. While our social media manager (hint: me) tries to figure out how to make the best use of this new feature, then, check out the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Nicki Minaj, Lil Nas X, Taylor Swift, and plenty of other faves!

NICKI MINAJ IS COUNTING DOWN TO PINK FRIDAY

ONIKA TANYA MARAJ-PETTY IS BACK, BITCHES! I'm actually screaming! The countdown to Pink Friday is officially on! Are we thinking a new song? A new video? A new album? Hell, I'll even take a fragrance announcement at this point! I'm also living for those bling Crocs!

 

LIL NAS X FINALLY GOT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE

CONGRATULATIONS, LIL NAS X! I'm not going to lie, I was starting to doubt if this was ever going to happen after he failed a couple of weeks ago, but my king finally pulled it out of the bag! Can we also talk about how radiant he looks in his license photograph? That lighting is on point!

 

TAYLOR SWIFT IS BRINGING BACK THE CROP TOPS

OMG! Crop Top Taylor Swift is back, people! No, really, is anyone else getting some serious 1989 vibes from this outfit Taylor wore to the BRITs yesterday? And could this be the confirmation we were waiting for that 1989 (Taylor's Version) is officially coming? I'M BASICALLY HYPERVENTILATING!

 

HALSEY IS GOING TO BE THE BEST MOM

I WASN'T EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS! Halsey is really about to become the best, best, best mom of all time, huh? I'm so excited for her to experience this unbelievably special chapter in her life alongside Alev Aydin! Just don't forget to send us aunties plenty of updates, okay?

 

SHAMIR IS THE CULT LEADER WE DESERVE

Me happily signing all of my life savings and earthly possessions over to join Shamir's cult:

P.S. Are y'all still streaming "Ocean Eyes?"

 

TYLER, THE CREATOR CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF GOBLIN

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Tyler, the Creator broke the music blogosphere with his debut album Goblin? It feels like only yesterday Wolf Haley was out here chewing on cockroaches and getting piggyback rides off Jimmy Fallon! Alexa, play "Sandwitches" at maximum volume!

 

MILEY CYRUS AND GRIMES NEED TO DROP THE COLLAB

DROP! THE! COLLAB! Jokes aside, I'm still over Grimes appearing as Princess Peach on SNL on Saturday! Peak Simulation, much? Oh, and don't even get me started on Miley Cyrus performing "Plastic Hearts!" I'm certain her voice gets more and more incredible each and every time I hear it!

 

RIHANNA IS ALL ABOUT THE BUTTA

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, RIHANNA! If Fenty Skin's Butta Body Cream is going to give me legs like that, then count me in, sis! Can we also discuss the fact Rihanna is wearing identical shoes to Nicki Minaj? And can we also discuss the fact they recently followed each other on Instagram? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

 

KATY PERRY ENJOYS HER FIRST MOTHER'S DAY

Mother's Day really got people in their feelings over the weekend, huh? I love, love, love to see it! I think everyone can agree Katy Perry is the definition of a "cool mom!" Both to Daisy, and to all of the Katy Cats that have grown up with her over the last decade or so! Happy Mother's Day, Katy!

 

MARIAH CAREY IS A VACCINATED QUEEN

A VACCINATED QUEEN! Just a few weeks after getting her first shot, Mariah Carey returned on Wednesday to receive her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccination! While there were no high notes or stiletto boots present on this occasion, rest assured, Mariah still served plenty of diva in her Versace shirt and tinted sunglasses!
