About

She's So Pretty (Ignore the Faggot) is an exploitable meme template and catchphrase based on a viral X / Twitter post by @jyngru in which she shares a photo of Taylor Swift dancing next to Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, captioned, "SHES SO PRETTY (ignore the faggot)." The now-deleted post was made on an unknown date prior to October 2023 and went viral that month after being reposted on X, inspiring edits and redraws replacing the image of Swift with another image of two characters side-by-side.

Origin

It is unclear when exactly the original "she's so pretty" post was made by X user @jyngru. On January 9th, 2022, Redditor u/manhwahoe made a post to the /r/OtomeIsekai^[1] subreddit containing several redraws of memes, the first being a redraw of an X post depicting Shuri and Jeremy von Neuschwanstein from The Fantasie of a Stepmother under the caption "she's so cute (ignore the guy on the left)," garnering around 920 upvotes in two years (shown below, left). It is unclear if this is based on the same post that @jyngru made.

On October 29th, 2023, X^[2] user @araneoIogy posted a screenshot of a post by now-deleted user @jyngru in which she writes, "SHES SO PRETTY (ignore the faggot)" over a photo of Taylor Swift and Pete Wentz dancing together at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, garnering over 1,500 likes in six months (shown below, right). This is the earliest known repost of the exact meme.

Spread

The post became the subject of photoshops, redraws and video edits over the following months, replacing the image under the caption. On November 22nd, 2023, X^[3] user @0xywave posted a version of the meme using an image from the Five Nights at Freddy's movie, garnering over 14,000 likes in five months (shown below, left). On November 23rd, X^[4] user @grizzgotmilk posted a version using an image from Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, garnering over 16,000 likes in the same span of time (shown below, right).

In December 2023, several examples of the meme were uploaded to TikTok^[5][6] using videos under the caption in place of images (examples seen below).

On January 6th, 2024, Tumblr^[7] user clanwarrior posted a version of the meme using images of Pokemon trainers under the caption, garnering over 1,100 notes in three months.
