Marvel Needs To Fight Like Taylor Swift

In an obvious attempt to troll Taylor Swift, the president’s campaign posted a TikTok video this week that used her song “August” as the soundtrack. Usually, when these things happen, the artists issues a strong statement denouncing the use. Taylor, on the other hand, did not mess around. Less than four days later, the video is now sitting on TikTok with zero sound. More of this please. (Variety)
