There’s no question that one of the best trolls in the media right now is late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, and his segment “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” is a stroke of genius that keeps on giving.
Somehow coaxing an on-going A-list of celebrities to poke fun at themselves by reading absurdly abusive tweets hurled at them by the general public on film, Kimmel has also featured sportstars and musicians on the ever-popular segment, which now sees the second edition of “Musicians Read Mean Tweets”.
The fresh new skit sees a slew of pop, rock, rap and country stars including Drake, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Jessie J, Haim, Wiz Khalif, Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea, Pitbull, Childish Gambino, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Jason Aldean, Katy Perry and Psy (spoiler: the best) read out some heavy-hitting trash about themselves.
The most exciting part of the segment is the inclusion of three Australian artists, notably, the trio that the US seemingly cannot get enough of, Sia, Iggy Azalea and 5 Seconds Of Summer.
From having hideously cruel insults of their looks, to comparing their voices to the most disgusting things imaginable, to blatantly confessing their hate, the second edition of musicians reading mean tweets is an absolute side-splitter, and something you definitely need to watch.
