As results from the US midterm elections came in, jokes began filling social media timelines. Rolling Stone highlighted the memes shared by music fans and artists.
Fans traded ideas for a soundtrack to the Democratic surge. Some joked that Selena and Bobby Pulido, who won his congressional race in Texas, should provide the state anthem; others suggested replacing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Halsey joined in on Instagram with a lyric-inspired post referencing her song “Colors”: “EVERYTHING IS MF BLUE BABY.” The singer later struck a more serious tone, writing about hope, historic firsts and the work still ahead.
