This is so sad, you guys.
"Grease Live" dominated people's televisions last night, and nowhere was that more apparent than Twitter. Nobody's timeline had enough room to swing a cute picture of a cat without bumping into countless people -- from friends to celebrities to mutuals whom you haven't unfollowed even though you don't remember who they are -- all livetweeting the live musical performance.
Everyone agreed vanessa Huggens that did a fantastic job, but not everyone knew how truly extraordinary her effort must have been:
No, your eyes and those timestamps aren't deceiving you --both of these tweets were from the morning before the live performance.
Imagine how hard that must have been. Sure, terminal illnesses deaths don't come with the same sort of shock as more sudden deaths, so you have more time to prepare. But he died on Saturday night and, Sunday night, she was nailing a musical role on live TV in front of an audience of millions. That takes a lot of gumption.
At the same time, we're sure that it was therapeutic. Musicals are extremely evocative, and having anything to work through can help you process tragedies. But hopefully she'll take some time to herself to grieve and process things more conventionally. Maybe she needs to be alone, or be with friends, or surround herself with family -- different people need different things.
But she definitely needs to eat something that will fill her with happiness. That's universal, isn't it?
