“You probably don’t know me, but you’ve probably seen this picture. That’s me right there,” she said at the start of the video. “That’s me in the photo that Drake put on his Instagram Story, so here’s what happened.”
As an employee at theWindy City hotspot, Carson said she isn’t “allowed to talk to famous people,” so when she saw Drake and “his buddies” at her place of work, she kept to herself and went to the back employee area. Sure enough, she saw Drake was there too and he struck up a conversation.
The restaurant worker then recalled the moment Drake asked her for a photo together.
“He was like ‘We got to get a picture,’” she said. “So his friend took a picture of us, and I asked him to air drop it to me, so I thought that was the end of it. But then I saw upload it to his Instagram Story, and I was like ‘Did he just do that?’”
Carson said “things just got crazy” after that moment, adding that her phone started “blowing up” with requests for interviews. She then cleared the air about any drama surrounding the photos.
“I didn’t do any of [the interviews] because I didn’t feel like it was the right thing to do. I love Taylor, and I saw the internet thinking it could be like diss or shade, and I never took it that way. I never meant it that way,” she said of the photo with Drake. “I just thought it was a funny thing and obviously I can’t speak to his intentions, but he was super nice to me.”
Carson also said her resemblance to Swift is just a coincidence.
“I wasn’t necessarily trying to look like Taylor in that moment. I was just working at my job. This is my normal hair color. I like red lipstick. But yeah since then things have been crazy,” she said.
To close out the explainer post, Carson said she’s a “big Taylor fan” and finds it odd to now get recognized in public from theHer Lossrapper’s post.
“It’s weird seeing your face everywhere as a not famous person. But since then, people have been asking for photos. They’ve been recognizing me. It is wild. Crazy times,” she said.
Drake kicked off hisIt’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savageat United Center in Chicago on Wednesday with a 40+ song setlist and theatrics. While in town, he also dined at Chicago hotspots includingFioretta,MiruandRPM Seafood.
