Taylor Swift fooled nearly everyone in her latest music video (and directorial debut), “The Man,” in which she dressed up as her own male alter ego “Tyler Swift” to demonstrate toxic masculinity in the workplace.

It was quite an impressive drag persona, so much so that it was hard to tell at times whether it really was Swift under all that facial hair.

Since “The Man” video came out, Swift herself, as well as the video’s makeup artist, Bill Corso, have shed some light on how the hell this transformation happened.

Shockingly, Coca-Cola’s beautiful ad celebrating American diversity provoked a storm of haters tweeting that all the non-English speaking voices in the ad should ‘Speak American.’

Coca-Cola aired their new commercial during the Super Bowl, titled “It’s Beautiful,” but it brought out the ugly side of a disgusting number of prejudice commenters on Twitter. The ad was a celebration of American multiculturalism portraying citizens from all different backgrounds — races, ethnicities, skin colors — as well as the first gay family ever to be shown in a Super Bowl ad. Scenes of Americans from all different walks of life were caught on film while “America the Beautiful” was sung in several different languages. It was a touching and inspiring representation of America’s exclusiveness, but the reaction proved that there are still far too many ignorant people out there.

Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl Commercial

We’re completely shocked by the Twitter reaction from the Coke commercial.
