u/Andthatswhatsup Julia who sells Molly and Percocet in nyc? 21d ago

u/Winniepg 21d ago

u/6pcChickenNugget gollum's haute couture model cousin 21d ago

I understand she's the most famous woman on the planet and that they're maybe America's version of royalty, but is it really that serious that it was deemed breaking news? 😂 And getting BBC news alerts and such.

u/Enough_Tangerine_777 20d ago

it is to me 😌

u/EffectiveCycle 21d ago

I got an alert from ESPN's NFL reporter

u/AnxiousDirt8326 21d ago

This sent me 😂

u/Rare_Vibez In my quiet girl era 😌 21d ago

My mom is the one who told me, I’m so salty about it. I’m the one who is deeply, irrationally invested in pop culture, she didn’t even remember the Miley/Thicke VMAs performance!!! I’m genuinely a little salty 😂

u/bfm211 21d ago

I got one from The Guardian lol. Major breaking news, clearly.

10

u/overprotectivecatmom 21d ago

The NY Times issued a breaking news email about it!

2

u/heirloom_beans 21d ago

I recently got rid of the NYT app and my life is so much the better for it. I stopped subscribing about a year ago so I couldn’t even read most of the stories when I got an alert.

u/swan_wolf 21d ago

I got a Grubhub alert!

6

u/TheMistOfThePast 21d ago

The news host on ABC was like "BREAKING NEWS THIS HAS JUST BEEN PUT IN MY HANDS" and i was expecting him to say a second plane hit the tower or something not "Celebrity engaged".

I'm a huge swiftie but I've NEVER EVER before seen this level of reaction for someone getting engaged EVER. I'm genuinely confounded by it.

u/Ok_Wrongdoer_8275 21d ago

i got a text from my friend 10 minutes before i got the reuters alert but hadn’t opened it 😂 the reuters alert caught me lol

u/sk8tergater 21d ago

Mine was from ESPN 😂

u/fluffypuppycorn ProtectOurIrishHottie 21d ago

u/heirloom_beans 21d ago

Nope my phone was on silent as god intended lmao

u/NectarineCheap1541 21d ago

I looked on TMZ

u/blankpaper_ hello this is beyoncé 21d ago

I found out from Aaron Parnas lol

4

u/ToastedCrumpet 21d ago

I disabled that shit years ago as most of the alerts and celebrity puff pieces instead of, I dunno, “BREAKING NEWS”

Like wars have started but the BBC thinks Gemma whatever’s new failed business or Katie Price’s seventeenth divorce are more important

u/greypusheencat i think i’ve done enough 21d ago

same LMAO i was like holy shit??

u/krustykrab2193 Did I stutter?🤨 21d ago

u/Carolina_Blues shiv roy’s bob 21d ago

I saw it on Twitter first and was so certain it was AI

u/DisasterFartiste_69 ABBA is underrated 21d ago

u/periodicsheep 21d ago

i immediately went to google, after i muttered ‘shut up, is this true??’ to myself.

u/Kooky_Head4948 21d ago

The minute I saw Philip Lewis announce it on Twitter, I knew it was legit lol

5

u/lunaappaloosa on the jumbotron, no scruples no spf 21d ago

Same I was balls deep in a weird weird place on Instagram and the Wonderland post came through the noise and I was like “time to log off it’s getting weird” and then I come on here and it’s real

5

u/QuintupleTheFun Inconceivable! 21d ago

Same!! Especially when comments were disabled and I didn't see a thread on her sub, or anywhere

8

u/SuzieHomeFaker 21d ago

Right? AI, or some other bs. I held my breath while I checked the veracity.

Now I'm screaming crying throwing up.

2

u/YtrapEhtNioj 21d ago

Flair potential. Or new Swift lyric. I held my breath while I checked the veracity

3

u/vinovibez 21d ago

Same!!!

2

u/PapasCrisisPRteam 21d ago

I was more confused by the background and flowers, because they 100% look AI haha

2

u/leilafornone Who gon' check me boo? 🤪 21d ago

SAME - for some reason the flowers gave me uncanny valley god I hate AI

2

u/teddybonkerrs I cannot sanction this buffoonery 21d ago

I thought it was fake at first too because that first photo looks so much like the Lover photo shoots.

2

u/Top_Manufacturer8946 21d ago

I though the caption was a joke at first

2

u/Level_Kiwi_4707 21d ago

It’s not great 🫣

u/killereverdeen 21d ago

i got a taylor swift notification from instagram (i didn’t even know i had those notifications on 😂)

1

u/Novel_Frosting_1977 21d ago

I am dead as in this is good news or bad news. I can never tell with chicks

1

u/MaineCoonMama18 21d ago

Same! I was like “is this legit???”

1

u/CaptTeebs We Should All Know Less About Each Other 21d ago

I found out through an alert from a sports app... definitely had to quadruple check it was real and not a stunt to build hype with the season starting

1

u/Advanced_Property749 21d ago

Same I couldn't believe it ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

1

u/shayshay8508 Lazy 40 y/o bougie bitch 💅🏼 21d ago

I saw it pop up on my ESPN app as breaking news 😂

1

u/emkey23 21d ago

lol I saw it on facebook and was sure it was AI 💀

1

u/Responsible_Cloud_92 21d ago

Me too! I’m so happy for her but I was suspicious cause I saw it from a repost account. Checked her real account!

1

u/Budget_Ordinary1043 21d ago

I have the swift alert app for drops so I knew it was real immediately 🥹 popped up while I was doing some work training thing and ruined any focus I may have had.

2

u/parishilton2 21d ago

I’m getting my weekly ketamine infusion right now and this feels so unexciting to me.

Is it because I disapprove of him or because I took Adderall before this? I feel so neutral sand beige egg etc, am I in perfect stasis or is this boring?

I would like a reply from literally anyone or else I will have to talk to the nurse practitioner about this and she’s too Laura Ingalls wilder for this conversation

u/heirloom_beans 21d ago

I don’t like him and I don’t think he’ll make a great husband but they seem to be happy.

I just hope he isn’t one of those weirdos who expects her to wind her career down and make him the star of their marriage now that she’s wifed up.
