\n\tIn case you missed it, Taylor Swift<\/a> released her long-awaited music video for her hit song, \u201cOpalite,\u201d which was the second track on her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. In the music video released on Feb 2, Swift plays the Lonely Girl whose best friend is a rock; and Elmo<\/a> wasn\u2019t a fan of this.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, Elmo posted on X<\/a>, the app formerly known as Twitter, saying: \u201cMs. Taylor Swift<\/a>. You have got to be kidding Elmo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor those totally confused, we got you. Elmo isn\u2019t exactly mad at Swift; he\u2019s upset that her best friend is a rock, and she put a friendship bracelet around it. Elmo has a longstanding feud with his buddy on Sesame Street<\/a><\/em>, Zoe\u2019s best friend, who is a rock named Rocco. <\/p>\n

\n\tIf you go online, chances are you\u2019ll see so many clips of Elmo beefing with Rocco, continually saying that Rocco isn\u2019t a real person, he is a rock. It\u2019s honestly a hilarious bit that has made both children and adults laugh for years. And turns out, fans are on Elmo\u2019s side!<\/p>\n

\n\tOne fan wrote<\/a>, \u201cRocco in a Taylor Swift music video before Elmo just feels wrong!\u201d And another added<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s okay Elmo, she said the rock was garbage in the end. She\u2019s on your side!!\u201d<\/p>\n
