We Get It: Pop Stars Date

In old news, society has once again found out that pop stars are, in fact, actually involved in relationships. In recent news, it was confirmed that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, as well as Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama, have both called it quits with their relationships. I am, in fact, heartbroken for both couples that their relationships together had to both end. Not only were both these couples absolutely the cutest, but they sure made us all jealous. With all the news surrounding it all, I have a few things that have bothered me though.

Here comes new music.

I have heard this one too many times and I'm over it. You constantly have heard that a new Taylor Swift album is underway because of this break up. Have you heard the same about Demi's new album coming because of her break up? No. Or what about Calvin dropping a new single because of his break up? No. Who cares if she does write an album about her life, isn't that what all artists do? Can we just take a moment to respect their break up and wish them the best and not just talk about how new music is on the way because of it? It's not funny anymore to make that remark, just annoying.


The vastly different media coverage over both.

I decided to search both "Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris" as well as "Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama" to see how exactly the news was portraying both break ups. Demi and Wilmer brought up these articles.


As you can see, the articles all focus on the couple's break up. You see both their names in the title as well as a genuine feel of loss. I felt like the break up was mutual, which it was from their personal statements, and the articles portray that.

When I searched Taylor and Calvin though, the articles were a little different. Shocker, right?

All of the articles that come up are focused around how Calvin is doing after the break up. Okay, fine. I'm glad Calvin is doing well after the break up and it was a good decison for both of them, once again because of their personal statements on social media. Why is it though, that Taylor's name is left out, of course making her the bad guy? The headlines of these articles make it seem like she is honestly the worst person. I just think that a break up in the celeb realm is all dependent on who you are and I'm not about that.


If anything...

Can we just appreciate that both couples ended their relationships on loving notes by saying how much they will still care for each other? They are all living happier now even though the break ups did happen. Let us just take a final moment to appreciate how cute they were.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
