On Monday, Twitter received the happy news it was becoming an auntie after Rihanna finally revealed her pregnancy to the world. Unsurprisingly, the gorgeous photos of RiRi and A$AP Rocky strolling through New York City have been dominating the bird app over the last few days. Baby Fenty wasn't the only topic of discussion this week, however, with Spotify, nor'easter, and, erm, boobography among the other trends covered in the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Lizzo, Kid Cudi, Cardi B, and plenty of others!

LIZZO IS FREAKING OUT BECAUSE RIHANNA IS PREGNANT

Me too, Lizzo, me too. Okay, okay, so Rihanna's pregnancy probably means we're not going to be getting an album or basically any new music for another 16 years at minimum, but, honestly? Who cares? Rihanna is having a freaking baby, y'all! A baby! P.S. It's the fact Lizzo and Rihanna have constantly supported each other for me *cries*.

 

KID CUDI CELEBRATES HIS 38TH BIRTHDAY IN STYLE

While COVID may have prevented him from inviting guests like Kanye West, Pete Davidson, and Timothée Chalamet, Kid Cudi still pulled out all of the style stops ahead of his birthday dinner over the weekend. That vintage Star Wars shirt is absolutely everything. I'm also loving those pearl necklaces. Actually, I need this entire outfit!

 

CARDI B WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH MEGAN MARKLE

Cardi B is one of the funniest people on Twitter, but based on her tweets over the last few days, she hasn't felt in a laughing mood of late. Obviously, fame and fortune aren't everything they're cracked up to be. Sending love and positive vibes to you, Cardi! Oh, and don't forget to take photos if you and Megan Markle do hang out!

 

MARIAH CAREY IS LOVING THE ATLANTA SNOW

LOL. Don't get me wrong, I love the snow, but Mariah Carey really, really, really loves the snow, huh? Did that remix of "All I Want for Christmas" leave anybody else absolutely quaking? It truly is the holidays every day for Mariah. And here's me thinking she was stored in a cryogenic festive pod until December.

 

BARRY MANILOW WOULD LIKE TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOTIFY DRAMA

If one good thing has come from the whole Neil Young and Joni Mitchell versus Spotify and Joe Rogan drama, it's me finally discovering Barry Manilow has a Twitter account. Unfortunately, the "Mandy" singer doesn't tweet all that much. Can someone on his team see to this? The Dionne Warwick potential is off the scale!

 

DUA LIPA IS NOR'EASTER BUT MAKE IT FASHION

Leave it to Dua Lipa to transform nor'easter into a fashion statement. I have to respect it! While most of us are muddling through the snow in ugly waterproof vests and thermal pants, Dua is out here serving like a double-page Vogue spread! Seriously, though, I'm going to need somebody to tell me where I can get those sunglasses?

 

CHARLI XCX IS BRINGING BOOBOGRAPHY TO TIKTOK

Is boobography the next big viral dance trend about to take off on TikTok? Well, if Charli XCX has a say in the matter, maybe! Oh, and while we're here, can we talk about what an absolute banger Charli and Rina Sawayama have delivered in the form of "Beg for You?" It's the collaboration of my hyperpop dreams! *Sings* "Beg for you! Beg for you!"

 

NICKI MINAJ SEASON APPROACHING

Nicki Minaj Season approaching! A couple of years on from announcing her retirement from music, Nicki is back and ready to save rap with her new single, "Do We Have a Problem," starring Lil Baby. Are we ready, Barbs? Something tells me this is going to be her biggest, baddest era yet! Just get a load of these lewks! Iconic!

 

HALLE BAILEY IS LIVING HER BEST LIFE IN THE MALDIVES

I feel like I talk about her big sister, Chlöe, in this column every Wednesday, but this time I want to talk about Halle Bailey! I've been absolutely loving seeing The Little Mermaid star living her best life on vacation in the Maldives over the last few days! And how good does this new music sound? A totally different vibe to "Have Mercy!"

 

JAMES BLUNT HAS A WARNING FOR SPOTIFY

And that, everybody, is what you call a threat.

you're beautiful
