#StuckWithU
The Justin Bieber/Ariana Grande duet dropped last night but not without some controversy.
Earlier in the week they had asked people to submit video of them doing something to the song.
Last night, Justin tweeted out a clip of “Tiger King” personality Carole Baskin and her husband swaying to the song.
However, the clip is not part of the Grande/Bieber official music video.
Ariana made it known on Twitter that she did not allow or approve their inclusion in the final video but as she puts it, “nonetheless. It exists and that’s….unique.”
#Lockdown
Survey: Coronavirus lockdown hits younger people harder.
20% of people under 35 now said they were lonely, up from just 4% in normal times.
The survey implies that younger people have been more affected by the restrictions than other age groups due to events being cancelled and their inability to meet their friends and family outside the household.
A quarter of respondents of all ages had lost their job either temporarily or permanently with young men most affected.
