Grimes announces pregnancy with NSFW Photoshop image, as one does

As all things even tangentially Elon Musk-related—the two have been romantically linked ever since a Twitter meet-cute-for-a-given-definition-of-cute in 2018—must, the announcement has come under widespread internet scrutiny from a variety of directions. For her part, Grimes is being extremely (still) on-brand about the whole thing, shutting down a shitty Instagram comment about Musk’s potential financial involvement with the baby with a quick “I don’t need $ from a man, Grimes is self funded.”

Speaking of: She’s expected to put out a new album, Miss Anthropocene, in February. According to earlier comments/self-posted fan art, the album will see her embodying the “anthropomorphic goddess of climate change.” (Also: Although Boucher apparently confirmed the pregnancy on social media, if it turns out that she was just, like, “pregnant with her album,” etc., we reserve the right to roll our eyes until they fall completely out of our heads.)
