Twitter Is Hilariously Split About Justin Bieber’s Engagement to Hailey Baldwin
We thought Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson had a lock on the most shocking engagement of the year, but then came another.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are reportedly engaged, and fans' heads are spinning at the quick turn of events.
The singer proposed to the model over the weekend, and Twitter has been in a frenzy ever since. Awkwardly, a sizable chunk of the people tweeting are convinced that Justin picked the wrong girl.
Justin's fans fall into two major camps: the first seems to have the song "That Should Be Me" on replay right now, while the second would have preferred to see him put a ring on his longtime, on-again, off-again ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, whom he was last linked to just months ago.
It's clear that both camps are heartbroken and both are very vocal.
Here's what the "That Should Be Me" camp has been tweeting:
justin bieber gets engaged and all I can listen to is that should be me

Justin Bieber is engaged to Hailey Baldwin and I have never been so sad in my entire life… did she know every word to every song? did she go to his concert by herself? did she buy all purple clothes because he said it was his favorite color? did she even watch never say never

A lot of hearts were broken on Saturday, that's for sure, but there are people in Justin and Hailey's corner, too. Justin's parents both wrote enthusiastic messages on Saturday. His father, Jeremy Bieber, wrote via Instagram that "proud is an understatement," while his mom, Pattie Mallette, simply tweeted, "Love Love Love Love Love Love Love."
Love Love Love Love Love Love Love.
