Hi, everybody, and thanks for joining me for the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments on what has been another historic week on the godforsaken bird app:

Check out the following tweets from Lizzo, Dionne Warwick, Halle Bailey, and more!

LIZZO BROUGHT US TO TEARS AT THE EMMY AWARDS

Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls scooping the Emmy Award for Outstanding Competition Program on Monday was the highlight of my week, month, and year. That moving, empowering acceptance speech was absolutely everything. Oh, and can we also take a moment to appreciate this iconic selfies thread? Lizzo is a fangirl and proud!

 

DIONNE WARWICK HAD A MESSAGE FOR LEONARDO DICAPRIO

DIONNE HEFFALUMPIN' WARWICK, EVERYBODY!

 

HALLE BAILEY WAS THE PERFECT DISNEY PRINCESS

Nothing but respect for MY Ariel. Halle Bailey is really about to be the greatest Disney Princess of all time, huh? While Twitter had its fair share of complaints about the lighting and cinematography, The Little Mermaid teaser trailer was quite frankly everything I hoped it'd be and more. Just get a load of these reactions *sobs*!

 

NICKI MINAJ GOT EXCITED FOR THE LITTLE MERMAID

DID YOU HEAR THAT PAPA BEAR? LMAO. Nicki Minaj is honestly such a mood with this tweet. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one planning on ignoring all of my responsibilities and canceling all of my appointments the second this movie drops. Plus, let's not forget Nicki was basically the original live-action Ariel in the video for "Bed!"

 

LIL NAS X WAS JOINED ON TOUR BY THE FURRIES

LOL. Lil Nas X's Long Live Montero Tour is officially underway across North America, and rather unsurprisingly, it's already bringing with it total chaos. First came the Furries. Next up a full-blown audience orgy? I'm pretty sure nothing would surprise me at this point. P.S. So much for having social anxiety, huh, Lil Nas X? Hahaha!

 

"WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC MADE THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

It's the way I haven't been more excited for a film like I'm excited for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story for me? Daniel Radcliffe is really out here living his best life taking on these ridiculously absurd roles, and you know what? I legitimately LOVE that for him. My only regret is we have to wait until November until we can finally watch it!

 

CARDI B STAYED OUT OF THE QUEEN DRAMA ON TWITTER

Cardi B saw your Queen memes and said: "NOT TODAY, TWITTER!"

 

DOJA CAT LOOKED LIKE A BADASS WITH A BUZZ CUT

DAMN. I'm almost certain if you were to look up the definition of "badass" in the dictionary, you'd find this pic of Doja Cat and her new buzz cut. I simply love how the Planet Her star gives zero f*cks and completely rejects the standards expected of her as a female in the music industry. More punk pop stars like this, please?

 

TYLER, THE CREATOR APOLOGIZED FOR NOT REPLYING

As somebody with over 100 unread text messages currently chilling on my iPhone, I have to say this tweet from Tyler, the Creator hit different. And don't even get me started on my emails. LMAO. Oh, and the worst part is when you actually finally get around to replying to them, you only get more messages? AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF DOOM!

 

KATY PERRY AND ORLANDO BLOOM WERE RELATIONSHIP GOALS

Can we all agree Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are basically the definition of couple goals? I'm not even kidding when I say I'm pretty sure this describes my dream relationship scenario. Like, give me sitting in silence and ignoring each other over red roses and diamond rings any day? P.S. PROTECT THIS GRANDMA AT EVERY COST!
