Starbucks and Duolingo are dealing with backlash over advertising and marketing gimmicks designed round Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s breakup.
The Taylor Swift-Joe Alwyn breakup ‘discourse’ is getting out of hand on the Internet and Swifties are assembling as soon as once more. The world has actually leant into the information of Taylor and Joe parting methods after 6 years of relationship, with followers in denial and even spewing conspiracy theories. However, manufacturers cashing in on somebody’s private heartbreak is decidedly taking issues too far, and Swifties have been slamming Starbucks and Duolingo for doing the identical.
A Starbucks retailer put up a signboard asking individuals which Taylor Swift ex they have been. Each of Taylor’s former companions corresponded to a Starbucks drink- Harry Styles as Hot Vanilla Latte, Joe Jonas as Dragon Drink, Tom Hiddleston as London Fog and so on. Taylor has repeatedly confronted sexist derision over the variety of companions she has had, since girls are apparently not allowed thus far round.
Duolingo, on the opposite hand, posted a video of the Duolingo fowl at Cornelia Street, captioned “making my closing pilgrimage to Cornelia Street to supply my condolences.” Cornelia Street is a music off of Taylor’s Lover album, extensively believed by followers to have been written about Joe.

Tbh Duolingo’s post does not deserve the hate. Whoever runs that account has always been a swiftie and though it’s still weird af to show up at someone’s apartment it’s not like tons of y’all haven’t shown up there to take pics and videos too hypocrisy. St*rbucks can choke tho https://t.co/N54xp15cta— Andy (@andyissdead) April 11, 2023
