Hi, everybody, and thanks for checking in with the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments! While Instagram was making an embarrazzment of itself over its continued attempt to become TikTok 2.0, Twitter was busy as ever, living for the drama and thriving among the chaos. Scroll through the following tweets from Lil Nas X, Phoebe Bridgers, Katy Perry, and more below!

LIL NAS X HAD THE PERFECT RESPONSE TO RENAISSANCE

Forget Pitchfork. I'm pretty sure this tweet is speaking to me more than any album review of RENAISSANCE. Beyoncé really has the "Blow" fans feeling themselves with this record, huh? Disco is back, baby. BRB, listening to that transition between "CUFF IT," "ENERGY," and "BREAK MY SOUL" on repeat!

 

PHOEBE BRIDGERS CALLED OUT THE RUDEST KIND OF MUSIC FAN

It's the way Phoebe Bridgers is so real for tweeting this for me? Speaking through a support act is honestly the butt-ugliest personality trait. The absolute disrespect of it all. Not to mention, Phoebe has some of the coolest openers on The Punisher Tour, so why would you spend it talking, anyways? UGH!

 

KATY PERRY WAS THE PIZZA DELIVERY GIRL OF OUR DREAMS

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Katy Perry:

 

CAMILA CABELLO CELEBRATED 10 YEARS OF FIFTH HARMONY

Can you believe it's been a whole damn decade since Fifth Harmony was formed on The X Factor? It genuinely only feels like yesterday I was obsessively voting them through on the live shows. Fingers crossed they put their bad blood aside to give us a reunion soon. "ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!"

 

FKA TWIGS SHOWCASED HER FLEXIBILITY DURING POLE-DANCING SESSION

Me attempting to recreate this in my living room:

 

DOLLY PARTON LEFT JOLENE QUAKING WITH THROWBACK PHOTO

DOLLY PARTON YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS. The Tennessee native is really out here showing the girls how it's done, huh? Pink is most definitely Dolly's color. That bouffant is also everything. "Jolene" could never. P.S Why do I feel like this photo represents both sides of my personality? LMAO!

 

LUCY DACUS JOINED THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY

What. A. Mood. I'm a flat-earther, and by that, I mean I believe the earth should be totally flat. Especially on a hike. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of hills. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of peaks. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of mountains. My back simply can't handle the truth!

 

KEVIN ABSTRACT EXPRESSED CONCERNED FOR PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE WATER

"How do you 'not like water' you blue raspberry conditioned freak." I'M FULLY SCREAMING. Not to mention, I'm feeling a little personally attacked by this tweet from Kevin Abstract. Why would I drink water when I can drink iced coffee? Why would I choose hydration when I can choose caffeine?

 

CLAUD REFUSED TO WASH THEIR HAND AFTER MEETING BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Claud hanging out with Bruce Springsteen? This is the absolute coolest. Honestly, though, Bruce is probably thinking the same thing. "Shook the hand of Claud never washing it." Anyways. Excuse me while I go and manifest Claud's cover of "Dancing in the Dark." P.S. DELETE THIS TWEET, PHOEBE!

 

JACK ANTONOFF ANNOUNCED THE OFFICIAL START OF AUGUST

As far as I'm concerned, it isn't officially August until Jack Antonoff has tweeted about Taylor Swift's "august." *SCREAMS AND CRIES* "Remember when I pulled up and said 'Get in the car'/And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?/Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all!"
