What the heck is happening?
Update (13/06/19): Why are people using blue profile pictures on social media? The Sudan crisis explained
Have you noticed that a lot of celebrities and their fans seem to be changing their profile pictures to a random colour? Yeah, us too. What the f**k is happening? The trend started a couple of weeks ago and now everybody seems to be picking their own colour to adorn their social media profiles.
Troye Sivan is leading the trend with this (admittedly lovely) shade of lavender.
Marina Diamandis, no stranger to neon colours, has opted for lime green.
Halsey has gone for white over on Instagram #TheKingdom.
Selena Gomez has even got in on the act.
Matty Healy went black too but then went back to an image of himself, perhaps sensing he was becoming part of a troubling celebrity trend.
But why is this suddenly happening. Is it a cult? Are the illuminati involved?
When Troye was asked by a fan about the change to pastel, he replied by saying he simply 'liked the colour'. LOL! As if we believe that, Troye. What kind of mischief are you and your network of very talented and beautiful friends up to? I can't be dealing with all this right now. I've got clowns chasing me outside everyday and Donald Trump might become president in three weeks, can't a bitch catch a break online? Jeez.
Not everyone is a fan.
I'm logging off Twitter until this pastel bullshit desists
