taylor swift meme monica lewinsky: Taylor Swift meme: Monica Lewinsky’s ‘asylum’ tweet goes viral. Check here
The lyric from Swift’s latest song has become an instant hit. The line — “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” — has become a viral one. Fans are using the line to reveal bittersweet memories of their own.
Lewinsky’s tweet is seen as an apparent reference to her most talked about affair with former US President Bill Clinton. Clinton–Lewinsky scandal and the Clinton impeachment and its fallout did hog limelight in 1990s.
In 1998, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the then President Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. However, two months later, the Senate ultimately failed to secure the two-thirds majority required to remove him from office. This historic event captivated the nation and sparked intense debate over the role of impeachment in the political process and the accountability of public officials. While Clinton remained in office, the impeachment proceedings left an indelible mark on American politics and underscored the importance of transparency and integrity in public office.

Meanwhile, the Taylor Swift concert ticket debacle two years ago is leading state and federal lawmakers to take aim at sales practices that they say are deceptive or predatory to music fans.
A main goal of venues and musicians is to outlaw speculative sales when a seller offers a ticket they do not yet have. In some cases, they ask thousands of dollars for a ticket that they can buy later from the primary seller for $200 or less and reap the profit.
In Maryland, a new law will make speculative ticket sales illegal starting July 1.
Arizona recently cleared similar legislation and nicknamed the measure the “Taylor Swift Act.” When fans were unable to snag Eras Tour tickets through Ticketmaster, many paid thousands to buy them through resellers, also known as secondary sellers, or were tricked by sites selling fake tickets.
Swift has not commented on the ticketing proposals, and a representative for the singer did not respond to a request for comment.
Nationwide, bills have been introduced in two dozen states to address event ticketing practices, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
In Illinois, a ban on speculative tickets has passed the state Senate. The Colorado House has cleared legislation to require more pricing transparency and a ban on websites designed to mimic legitimate ticket sales sites, which may trick consumers into thinking they are buying directly from a venue.
At the same time, venues and the world’s biggest musicians are pushing for federal reforms.
