One question rife in the TrueSwifties subreddit group is why Elon Musk is so obsessed with Taylor Swift. Recall that the Tesla and X owner, 53, shocked fans and the world with a controversial salute called the Nazi Salute during his speech at Donal Trump’s inauguration on Tuesday.

Elon finished his speech by slapping his hand to his heart before shooting out his right arm at an upward angle, with his fingers together and his palm facing down. The move was allegedly a ‘Roman salute’ but many pointed out that the gesture resembled a Nazi salute.

Elon Musk Drags Taylor Swift Into His Nazi Salute Controversy During Donald Trumps Inauguration

Now in an attempt to downplay the intensity of what he has done, Elon Musk dragged Taylor Swift into the affray by tweeting an image of her doing almost the same salute captioning it, “Does this mean Swifties = Hitler youth? And Swifties are not taking it lightly with him as they blasted him head-on.

One commenter wrote, “When I saw the pics of musk I thought it was a snapshot taken out of context like how Taylor’s is or the hundreds of other people you can find photos of like that. But then I watched the video of him and he is 100% trying to get away with doing the Nazi hitler salute. It sent such rage through me. He is trying to normalize being a fucking Nazi.”

Another commenter added, “Elon Musk did it TWICE. With his whole fucking chest. Anyone denying it is a Nazi apologist, sorry not sorry.” A third added, “He’s just a racist scumbag who profits off other people’s hard work. And he’s barely American. The fact that an IMMIGRANT has become the poster boy for American patriotism is insane. I suppose he’s white enough and racist enough that he gets a pass.”

A fourth commenter shared how her marriage is suffering because of the salute. “My husband and I are having a fight about this right now. He thinks Musk is just stupid and made the gesture out of ignorance and thats not what he meant and hes not a nazi……..Im like no he thre his whole fucking chest into it TWICE,” the commenter wrote.

Adding, “With the whole world watching. These other pictures like that one of taylor is pics of people waving and them capturing a still at just the right moment and angle. This was on live international television. The way the crowd responded was even more disturbing. Honestly Idk what is more scary the people who cheered him on or the ones playing ignorant and making excuses for him because they dont want to believe he’s a nazi.”

Justin Baldoni’s legal team released a video evidence that somehow corroborates, to the letter, Blake Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint.  But that is not the real truth because the happenings of the released video showed that the actor did not in any way harass Blake except that she made mockery of his nose.

Despite the video evidence, her supporters claim that the video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead and rubbing his face and mouth against her neck. He was also said to be flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.

The supporters further noted that these were improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s co-star, but the director, the head of the studio and Ms. Lively’s boss. Following the footage release, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s legal team says the case is in active litigation in federal court.

And that releasing this video to the media, rather than presenting it as evidence in court, is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public by Justin Baldoni’s legal team. It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s legal team  requested a gag order be carried out against Justin Baldoni’s head lawyer, Bryan Freedman.

The legal team of the couple sent a letter  to presiding Judge Lewis J. Liman to legally shut Bryan Freedman up. They want to prevent the lawyer from from talking to the media concerning the case. The rationale is that his viral comments and videos released will “taint the jury pool when the case gets to it to court.

Per the letter sent by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s legal team, “As Ms. Lively’s counsel have attempted, repeatedly, to caution Mr. Freedman, federal litigation must be conducted in court and according to the relevant rules of professional conduct.”  The later further showed that Bryan Freedman “has given television interviews, appeared on podcasts, issued inflammatory written statements, and leaked information (including, remarkably, documents as banal as document preservation demands to third parties) to the Hollywood press and tabloid media.”

Another reason to legally shut Bryan Freedman’s mouth is that his comments are false and that they  aim to tarnish Blake’s character, credibility, [and] reputation’ of numerous relevant parties.” His continuous conduct directly violates New York State’s Rules of Professional Conduct regarding trial publicity.

Justin Baldoni’s legal team headed by Bryan Freedman is not here to play and now they want to gather good public opinion to support the actor. What did they do to achieve that? The released raw footage of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s dance scene from their dissenting movie “It Ends With Us.”

So far, it seems like public support is tilting towards Justin Baldoni . Social media users are noting that he appears to be a better person while Blake Lively is just looking to secure the bag while destroying his career. With all the videos and information being released it’s like a flipflop between who’s telling the truth or not.  But at the moment, Justin has way more evidence than she does and the public is siding with him.

Recall that Blake Lively accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harrasment and referenced one scene as her evidence. To shoot down her claim that he got really creepy in the scene where they were slow dancing, Justin Baldoni’s legal team shared nearly 10 minutes of raw footage of the scene where Justin and Blake are slow dancing.

The video going viral on social media revealed all the conversations that flowed between the costars during the shooting. The raw video evidence shows that Justin Baldoni was never creepy neither did he make any attempt to. The video showed Blake and Justin shooting a scene and slow dancing with other set personnel available.

The actor did not make any creepy  comments or actions toward Blake and Justin Baldoni’s legal team believes this raw footage invalidates Blake’s sexual harassment claim. Instead, what was shown was Blake Lively making mockery of his nose noting that they need to pause production for one month so he can get a nose job but she stated that she was just kidding.

In the raw footage, Blake Lively could be hear saying as they lean in for a kiss,  “I feel so ‘nosey.’ I mean it’s just like noses” and Baldoni replies “I know. And my nose is so big.” Then Blake makes the comment about the nose job. The video also showed nothing untoward except for their disagreement over how the scene should be..

The video released by Justin Baldoni’s legal team shows him and Blake speaking to each other throughout the scene. They were arguing softly about about camera angles, lighting and whether they should be speaking to each other or simply staring into each other’s eyes. Only the video was used for slo-mo footage, none of their audio was used.

Prince Harry may have debunked divorce rumours from his wife, Meghan Markle but the dust is not settling anytime soon. Recall that during the New York Times’ 2024 DealBook Summit in December, the spare author noted that he feels sorry for the divorce rumours peddlers because it’s tiring to keep up with. 

Following the December event, the couple has been happily living their life even helping out in the Los Angeles wildfires by opening their home to victims and whatnot.

Vanity Fair’s source reiterated that the pitch for the book deal did not have divorce as its major theme. Because it is meant to to see if the publisher would “theoretically be interested” should the divorce happen. Another source clarified to Vanity Fair that the meeting did take place.

However, it was for something else but “If that’s true to any degree, [Markle] would have been approached and not vice versa.”  Per the media outlet, the publisher never made an offer and no manuscript was produced because there was no divorce yet to write about.

On today’s episode of Sunken Ships, Jade Thirlwall takes on how Harry Styles ghosted her in her appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast. Apparently, both of them auditioned for The X Factor U.K. show in 2010 and there started their little fling which will not last.

He made it,” Jade Thirlwall told the host.

However, she reiterated that Harry Styles apologised for the ghosting incident when she came back for another run at the show with a girl band.  “I saw him in a room after and he was like, I’m really sorry that l ignored you.” In a fit of laughter with the host, she noted that she was ghostedby Harry but it didn’t mean anything and that it didn’t really matter.

Several other social media users noted that the Instagram story is just a cover-up and that the popstar only made a mistake but he is refusing to take responsibility.

One such comment reads, “Don’t know what’s going on. Justin could’ve gotten upset and done it in the heat of the moment… But either way, they’re literally on vacation right now together lol.” Another noted it’s a stunt for his upcoming music that he has been teasing writing, “Nah he was meant to do that, It’s pr… because if his NEW MUSIC!!!!”

That partner has been his friend Matt Damon whom a fan hilariously noted to have been Ben Affleck’s most stable relationship outside of his mom and brother. The implication is that his friendship has outlived all his relationships with women including his two ex-wives, Lopez and Garner.

A few years back, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were in the most nasty feud but eventually settled. And to show goodwill at the end, Katy later appeared in  Taylor’s music video for You Need to Calm Down. But before then, there was a lot of media biting and statements from both stars.

Now, it appears that the rift is finally over as the Woman singer recalls her interaction with Taylor while attending her concert in Sydney. In her interview with the UK. radio station Capital shared on TikTok, she said, “I went and did a show in Australia very quickly and I had one day off before the show and I was like, “Hey girl, I’m gonna come to the show.” “And [Swift] was so excited and I was so excited.”

At the Eras tour, Katy Perry  took pictures of them at the concert in February 2024 and also showed off the photo during the interview.  She also shared details of swapping bracelets with Taylor and Swifties. She further has something nice to say about Swifties. She described them as “an adorable sweet community”

People gave me bracelets and I think Rita [Ora gave me a bracelet.”  “I loved it. It’s just like a community, it’s an adorable sweet community.” Katy also noted that she went to see Taylor Swift after the show and they gisted and caught up with each other. While the interview reveals that the duo has indeed made up, it does not mean that the feud didn’t happen at all.

Heres what started it. Taylor Swift got furious that three dancers including Lockhard Brownlie and two others left her tour for Katy’s Prismatic Tour. The dancers were with Katy previously before switching to Taylor but at the time, they were not dancing for Taylor. Then Brownlie’s statement reads, “We were with Katy for two and a half years, she’s like family to us, so we were like, “Absolutely.”  “We weren’t dancing in Taylor’s tour anyway, so I had gotten a little bored!”

Unfortunately, Taylor Swift described the situation to Rolling Stone in 2014 noting that what Katy did via the dancers was something horrible and the harshest insult of her life. She noted that Katy Perry sabotaged her entire tour and so they are enemies. Katy was also said to be the inspiration behind  Taylor’s track, Bad Blood.

Katy also released Swish Swish, which is allegedly about Taylor Swift. Several interviews were granted on the feud but the most defining evidence of the feud is Taylor released her entire catalogue on Spotify after years of speaking out against the streaming service. This was on the same day that Katy released Witness.

In 2017, Katy noted that she had forgiven Taylor on her Thrive Podcast appearance and changed her song’s lyrics. But Taylor held on to the beef till one year later when Katy sent an olive branch for the opening night of her Reputation World Tour. “Thank you, Katy, Taylor said in an Instagram post with a photo of the gift.”
