Steal her look

Looks a lot like Ricky's shirt from Trailer Park Boys.

I have a version of this but it's a different picture of Swift in the same interview. Same text and everything.

Edit:

Not the same text, just very similar.

Some internet investigation:

She wore that cloth on 2022-10-24 in the Tonight Show, clip was uploaded one day later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTozcxvFDtM

So that's the earliest possible date, your screenshot is from 2023, so that's not the joke of Emma, she just stole it.

The earliest post I could find on the net is from reddit, it was posted on 2022-10-27, 3 days later: https://old.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/yedzvo/taylor_swift_british_nautical_engineer_displaying/

In the comments they credit the original creator mountainherder, the original tweet was deleted with the account, but it was saved by the internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20221220002232/https://twitter.com/mountainherder/status/1584739482062184448

It was posted on 25th, and the text was:

This suit is meant to break up Taylor’s shape against the background, making it difficult for German battleships to ascertain her speed and direction.

I definitely don't have anything more important to do than looking up the history of random memes.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I... uh... applaud how bored you must be. That was honestly impressive investigation. My daughter is low-key autistic and I think she would be impressed at the useless dedication. Not even joking, I am impressed.

OP means it. The neurodivergence around here is astonishing compared to what I see in the real world.

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

I, for one, value even this mundane history of low importance, and appreciate knowyourmeme for documenting the origin, development and variations of memes.

It's a shame peoples' creations and ideas are stolen with no credit under the excuse of memes just being like that, but that's not a fight I could win, so trying to document that information seems like the best we can do.

Never attribute pregnancy to what can be simply explained by poor taste.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

The photo is old, so I think not.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No wonder she's worried about the u-boats

[–] schema@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You dumb bastard, it’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat!

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

It's so competing artists can't copy her design.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 days ago

Wow, you spotted an Erlkönig painting!
Must be the new Swift model being tested under realistic street conditions!

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Any SAM will find her as soon as she needs to go to the toilet though.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

Make your sub look like Taylor Swift and they won't shoot because they're huge Swifties.
