The Funniest Black Twitter Responses to Taylor Swift Gentrifying TF Out of Beyonce’s “Formation”
I announced last week that I was no longer going to use my platform to highlight white people white-peopling (read about it HERE), however, as a member of the Beyhive, I could not not share these reactions. So this isn’t so much about Taylor Swift committing career suicide, but more-so to highlight how funny we are when we join forces to commnece what is known as “The Black Twitter Drag”
Taylor dropped this snippet from a song she plans to debut at the VMAs:
Official #LWYMMDvideo world premiere.

Anything look familiar? And before folks jump in with, “oh…she was just inspired by Beyonce,” let me explain: Black folks, as a collective, do not like to see folks of European ancestry taking things that we create, and then making a profit off of it. It’s just not the thing to do in 2017. We ‘ont like that ish….
But forget all that, and just sit back and enjoy this thorough black twitter dragging like I did:
