In Poor Taste
Upon first glance at Lorde’s post, it might seem like a nice share of a relaxing day off for some self-care. But, unfortunately, the post goes south once she comments with reference to a Whitney Houston song. Why would that be problematic? Because Ms. Houston died by accidental drowning in a bathtub.
The singer rightfully received a lot of grief over this tweet. It’s unclear why she thought it was acceptable to make a joke in such poor taste, but we hope she learned her lesson. The accidental death of anybody is tragic, but Whitney Houston had many fans who didn’t think her death is a laughing matter.
