Anna Marie Tendler's Joke Accusing Taylor Swift of Plagiarizing Her Art Backfired
On TikTok, artist Anna Marie Tendler accused Taylor Swift of plagiarizing her art in her Eras set design. Was all of it a large joke?
Artist Anna Marie Tendler, the previous spouse of comic John Mulaney, lately made a joke that wasn't won all too neatly. On TikTok, Anna made a daring observation about Taylor Swfit's set design for the Eras tour, which kicked off on March 17. Long story quick: Anna's video led to an enormous commotion among Swifties. What did she say in it? Keep studying to find out.
Anna Marie Tendler accuses Taylor Swift of plajarizing her art work.
"My girl. People who designed Taylor's tour. This setup looks strikingly like one of my photographs in tone and aesthetics," mentioned Anna in her now-deleted TikTok. Anna first showed a clip of pre-recorded pictures of Taylor through a desk that had performed throughout the Eras excursion. Then she confirmed her sold-out piece, "Dinner in March," which is priced at $5,000.
Anna endured: "Um, it doesn't totally feel like parallel thinking to me. I'm a small artist, an independent artist who is trying to make money and live off of my artwork. I don't know what to do about this, and maybe someone can help me."
Swifties were not happy with Anna's remark. "Like, this has to be satire right? She can’t seriously be accusing Taylor Swift of stealing her idea of setting a table," wrote one user.
It wasn't long ahead of Anna deleted the video and made her account private — but it surely used to be already too overdue. A display screen recording of Anna's TikTok was once making the rounds on the web, confusing audience alike.
A Reddit thread used to be even created to discuss Anna's video.
One user wrote that Anna accusing Taylor of copying her art was once "embarrassingly delusional." Another user added: "It's a dinner table, yo. This barely qualifies as similar, let alone plagiarism."
Trying to clear her title, Anna took to the comment phase of a TikTok video where her deleted video persevered to be shown by way of display recording: "Hi! This was meant to be a joke. Most of my videos are jokes or satire! When I realized it wasn't landing as a joke, I deleted it. Didn't mean offense."
After Anna's commentary, her enthusiasts even took to her defense. "It’s a joke! That’s just her sense of humor, I’m like 99.9 percent sure she’s a Swiftie, and she is NOT a small artist," opined one.
Still, others were not able to wrap their heads round Anna's joke explanation. "Yeah right, LOL," wrote one person. Others joked that Anna had "really poor humor."
So, was it in fact a joke? Taylor's enthusiasts don't think so. Hopefully, if Anna ever makes another joke about Taylor, she'll run it via a Swiftie first.
