Best Tweets: What Women Said On Twitter This Week

With the #StrikeOutALS Ice Bucket Challenge taking over our Facebook feeds, some Twitter users decided to get a little creative for a different cause. Twitter user Paige came up with our favorite when she tweeted: “I challenge you to fill an ice bucket with beers and give it to me and leave.” As long as you also donate to ALS research we’re totally on board with some brewskies.

In other news, both Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift released music videos to accompany their new singles this week — excellent raw material for Twitter fodder. Taylor Trudon was especially delighted about Taylor Swift’s new “Shake It Off” music video, tweeting, “If you can’t handle me at my Taylor Swift, then you don’t deserve me at my best.” You do you, girl.

While some were defending their love for TSwift, others were showcasing their pop queen loyalty in other ways: “And there go three more state capitals out of my brain as i memorize all the lyrics to ‘Anaconda’,” tweeted Megan Amram. #Respect.
