I saw Kesha and Pitbull on tour together.
oh god I just saw the clip of Megyn Kelly freaking out at piers Morgan — which includes her saying “Latinos” yes in that fake accent way — about how having the bad bunny thing in Spanish was a middle finger to the vast majority of Americans who don’t speak Spanish. I mean, it’s music
