Activist Monica Lewinsky had social media users cackling after she shared her own version of a meme based on lyrics from Swift's new song "Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?" in a viral post on X, formerly Twitter.
The song is on Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which broke a Spotify record for passing 1 billion streams in just one week.
The lyric is as follows:
"You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me."
People are sharing the phrase alongside images that evoke memories of haunting moments, past eras, or childhood hobbies. Lewinsky—who became an international punchline for having an affair with then-President Bill Clinton as a White House intern—had the perfect response.
She posted a picture of the White House.
You can see her post below.
And people loved it.
Lewinsky's meme game is strong.
In 2022 she went viral for roasting former President Donald Trump over revelations from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who told the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the Capitol riot that Trump had gotten into a physical altercation when he attempted to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine because he wanted to attend the "Stop the Steal" rally and support his followers shortly before they attacked the nation's seat of government.
Lewinsky used the "Distracted Boyfriend" meme to remind her social media followers Trump has always made it clear he can do whatever he wants.
The meme in question, which shows the titular boyfriend torn between a steering wheel and "p*ssy," is a callback to a now-infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump bragged about grabbing and kissing women without their consent.
Lewinsky cheekily told her followers she hoped she'd made the meme "correctly."
