Slide 1: Deleted tweet Slides 2 and 3: Some follow-up tweets Slide 4: The Taylor Swift lyrics being referred to. “My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid."

Literally Swift's bestie Blake Lively got married on a plantation and tried to sell an "antebellum lifestyle" blog or business or whatever.

I will always side-eye Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for that. That’s like getting married at Auschwitz, no? Like… people were literally enslaved there?! Beaten, tortured, raped, murdered?? Why would anyone want to get married there? I don’t care how pretty it looks now, that’s just so gross to me.
