Taylor Swift launched the music video for her tune “Opalite,” the second video from her latest album TLOS, Friday morning. And whereas many followers appear excited concerning the new drop, one specifically vocalized their frustration with Tay Tay’s inventive decisions.
Cue in Elmo, the three.5-year-old little purple monster who lives on Sesame Road and has beef with rocks, particularly with one named Rocco.
Should you’re not accustomed to this long-time feud, Elmo does not imagine his buddy Zoe’s pet rock, Rocco, is actual, irrespective of how a lot she claims it to be true. To provide a little bit little bit of backstory, Rocco has apparently saved a cookie that Elmo needed, interrupted his buddy’s date with Amelia Dimoldenberg, and instructed Elmo that he was taking too lengthy to say the variety of the day.
As you may inform, rocks are a set off for the little man, so when Taylor put one in her “Opalite” music video, Elmo was not having it.
All through the video, you see Taylor swinging with the rock on a playground, enjoying with the rock in her house, and ingesting with the rock at a bar. The field it got here in even says, “My finest buddy!”
The Sesame Road group even tried to guard Elmo from seeing the music video on Twitter (now often called X): “Nobody present this to Elmo.”
Nonetheless, actually one minute later, Elmo caught wind of what his buddy Taylor did. “Ms. Taylor Swift…you’ve got to be kidding Elmo,” he wrote.
Fortunately, followers are displaying help: “She did you soiled Elmo,” one particular person mentioned.
“Rocco in a Taylor Swift music video earlier than Elmo simply feels incorrect!”
After a few hours, Elmo reluctantly added one other submit on Twitter.
Taylor has not commented on the matter, but when she does, you higher imagine we are going to add it right here.
Anyhow, inform us your ideas about this “Dangerous Blood” within the feedback beneath.
