This week on Twitter: "She's a 10, but!"

How about: "She's a 10, but she spends every waking moment on Twitter?"

Check out the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Katy Perry, Jack Harlow, Avril Lavigne, and more!

KATY PERRY CANCELED THE FOURTH OF JULY

When the Queen of the Fourth of July herself, Katy "Firework" Perry, is canceling Independence Day, then I'm sure you'll agree things must be really, really bad? The line "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" definitely hits different in these depressing ass times. Just don't forget it's never too late to take action and be part of the resistance!

 

JACK HARLOW REVEALED HIS HATRED FOR MUSICALS

As somebody with an irrational fear, phobia, and hatred for musicals, this tweet from Jack Harlow hit far too close to home. I'm still recovering from that time I went to see Sweeney Todd, and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter broke out into show tunes *shivers*. P.S. Can somebody please forward this tweet to the makers of Joker 2?

 

AVRIL LAVIGNE RECREATED THE LET GO COVER

OMGGG. Iconic, much? Avril Lavigne recreating the Let Go album cover two decades on from its release truly feels like a moment for the history books. Can we also take a moment to appreciate how Let Go is pretty much the greatest album of all time? I mean: "Complicated?" "Sk8er Boi?" "I'm With You?" Name a better run of singles, I'll wait?

 

SHAWN MENDES CELEBRATED SIX YEARS OF ILLUMINATE

Erm, speaking of iconic album cover recreations? Shawn Mendes is really out here putting all of us in our feelings by recreating the Illuminate cover six years on, huh? "Changing isn't a bad thing/It never was/But at the end of the day, you know/You're the same person/And, and where your heart is/That doesn't change." Pass the tissues!

 

SHANIA TWAIN WAS ONCE AGAIN NOT IMPRESSED

Me every time Shania Twain tweets about *that* song:

 

TRAVIS BARKER CONFIRMED HE WAS FINALLY ON THE MEND

It's good to see blink-182 drummer and all-around pop-punkster legend Travis Barker is finally on the mend following his dramatic health scare last Monday. While Twitter was initially full of memes about Kris Jenner sending cameras down to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, it actually sounds like this was a pretty frightening few hours. Sending love!

 

DOLLY PARTON ANNOUNCED THE START OF COUNTRY GIRL SUMMER

Forget the summer solstice. As far as I'm concerned, it isn't officially summertime until Dolly Parton takes to social media to post a photo of her looking iconic under some kind of fauna. Bring on Country Girl Summer. This Twitter user is right, though, Dolly definitely needs to drop the hair care routine, as that blonde bouffant is everything!

 

NAOMI MCPHERSON REPRESENTED MOUTH BREATHERS EVERYWHERE

LMAOOO. It's the way MUNA's Naomi McPherson has made me feel so very seen with this tweet? I'm pretty sure I convince myself I have COVID-19 on the daily because of my disgusting sleeping habits. Another personal favorite: "Is it COVID-19, or am I simply allergic to the outside?" As a professional hypochondriac, I do admit the struggle is real!

 

CHARLI XCX WAS THE COVER GIRL OF OUR DREAMS

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT. Charli XCX takes time out from collaborating with Tiësto to remind us that she's the hottest, sexiest pop star on the planet with this photoshoot for V Magazine. Oh, and while we're here, can somebody tell me how I can get hold of this pink netting bodysuit? This is definitely the perfect outfit for the coming Chromatica Ball!

 

BEYONCÉ BROKE THE INTERNET WITH RENAISSANCE

SHE REMEMBERED HER TWITTER PASSWORD?
