A roundup of the posts and trends that dominated social media this week.
Last week had the internet hooked, with everything from global discussions to funny memes. Here’s a quick roundup of what got everyone talking online.
Conversations:
Sabrina Carpenter condemns use of her song in immigration-raid video
The White House recently shared a new video promoting its stance on deporting undocumented immigrants amid ongoing ICE raids across the country. But the post faced backlash when viewers noticed it featured “Juno,” a song from Sabrina Carpenter’s album Short n’ Sweet, allegedly without her permission. The singer quickly called out the administration, by writing, “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” making her disapproval unmistakably clear.
Following criticism from the singer and her fans, the White House doubled down. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, an official issued what they described as a “Short n’ Sweet message” for Carpenter: “We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.” The representative even referenced her song “Manchild” from Man’s Best Friend, adding, “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid — or is it slow?” The exchange has become one of the most heavily debated topics on social media this week.

Memes and trends
She provoked him
The “she provoked him” trend has been discussed online, and people are using videos to show how wrong and unfair it is to blame victims of abuse for the things that happen to them. No matter what someone says or does, it is always a choice whether or not to hurt another person, and comparing it to an animal, even if it is given its favorite treat, it can understand the command “no” and choose not to take it, which shows that people, too, have the ability to control themselves and not cause harm, no matter how much they feel provoked or upset.
Y/N trend
We’ve all had that classic experience of reading fanfiction or those Wattpad romance stories, and now there’s a social media trend poking fun at all the clichés we used to love, especially the unrealistic romances between a rich CEO and Y/N. The memes are absolutely hilarious and have everyone laughing at the tropes we once couldn’t get enough of.
Calculator history
What’s the most embarrassing thing on your phone? For a lot of people, it turns out to be their calculator history.
