In China, it’s a common practice for fans to come up with nicknames for major American celebrities. These nicknames, often based on a star’s image or public persona, can be surprisingly honest and sometimes a little harsh. One Instagram user recently shared some of the most popular nicknames, and the ones for Taylor Swift and Kristen Stewart are particularly controversial.

The user also added that pop icon Taylor Swift is known as Mei Mei, which translates to Unlucky and Unlucky. This nickname reflects her repeated struggles in the spotlight, especially her turbulent love life and the many times she missed the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Chinese fans see these moments of misfortune and gave her a name that reflects both her unlucky breakups, and the success she still manages to achieve.

Kristen Stewart, on the other hand, is referred to as Miantanuu, or Facial Paralysis Lady. This nickname is a bit more critical, poking fun at her famously stoic facial expressions that some find unchanging in public appearances. But it’s not just these two stars who have gotten nicknames that might not be too flattering.

Other celebrities, like Nicki Minaj (Malaji spicy chicken) and Katy Perry (Shuiguojie, Big Sister fruit), have names that come from the way their names sound in Chinese or quirky details of their public personas. For example, Katy Perry’s love of fruit in her performances inspired the “Big Sister fruit” part of her nickname.

While some of these nicknames might seem harsh or even humiliating, the user also highlighted that they are all made with affection and admiration by Chinese fans. These names are a fun way for fans to express their connection to these stars, even if they might trigger a strong reaction from the celebrities’ loyal fanbases.

Joe Alwyn reflects on moving forward after Taylor Swift break-up

Joe Alwyn, known for his roles in movies like The Brutalist and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, recently opened up about his personal life in an interview with The Guardian. He reflected on his breakup with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who ended their six-year relationship in early 2023.

When asked about his feelings regarding the relationship, the actor made it clear that he has put the past behind him. He added:

Alwyn and Swift met shortly after his breakout role in 2016, and their relationship remained largely private throughout its duration. Reflecting on how fame and public interest impacted his life, the actor said, “I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control.”

He revealed that early in his career, particularly after the success of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk in 2016, he chose to focus on aspects of life that truly mattered to him. This approach helped him maintain a sense of balance despite the intense public scrutiny that came with his high-profile relationship.

Throughout the ups and downs of fame, Joe Alwyn relied on his strong support system to stay grounded. He valued the presence of real, meaningful connections in his life, which helped him navigate the challenges of being in the public eye.
