Kylie Jenner’s Baby Announcement Told The Super Bowl To Step Aside, And It Absolutely Did
Kylie Jenner just recently announced that she gave birth to a baby girl after months of speculation that she was pregnant. Rapper Travis Scott was always the speculated father since they were dating at the time but rumors were viciously swirling. She released a mini-documentary on YouTube that basically showed what she was going through for the last nine months that she's been out of the spotlight.
The announcement came on the same day as the Super Bowl, which basically made no one care about the football game. The Super Bowl became the ugly twin sister really quickly as Kylie stole all the attention. She quickly became the #1 trending topic on Twitter. The reactions to her pregnancy are absolutely hilarious and worth noting. It ranged from shock to happiness to sadness and everything in-between.
It's Still A Bit Surprising...
She wasn't in the Kardashian Christmas card this year, hasn't appeared in public in months and all her family members were sketchy at best about saying anything about her, but there's still a level of surprise. It's nearly impossible to think that she's been just barricaded in her house this whole time, but then I think of their house and I realize really quickly I could do the same.
How Did NOTHING Get Leaked?
It's actually nuts to think about the fact that NOTHING leaked about her actually being pregnant. The White House has never been more jealous of the Kardashians, and have inquired on how to keep leakers out of the inner circle. Kylie should give her friends and family a bonus, or at least a lip kit to thank them for their dedication.
The Amount Of Time Becomes Real When You Put It In Perspective
In a society that lives off of leaks, and pictures of Kardashians/Jenners in the tabloids, it's amazing how under wraps this was. It's hard to really understand how long it is until you compare it to your pathetic dating life. Nine months is like three failed relationships in terms of time.
The Super Bowl Took A Backseat...
As I mentioned earlier, for anyone who didn't hear anything about the Super Bowl on Sunday, it did actually occur. But let's be honest here, it didn't stand a chance against the Kardashian/Jenner PR machine. They basically run the world, let's be honest. Kylie has over 100 million followers on Instagram. Let that sink in.
Some Even Went Further...
Move over Philadelphia Eagles, team Kylie Jenner was the real winner of the Super Bowl. It's hard to argue with the sentiment because if you looked around at your Super Bowl party you probably saw every girl (and most guys) on their phone watching the mini-documentary even in the finals seconds of the football game.
The Mommy Manager Could've Been At Play On This Timing...
Can we just admit that Kris Jenner is one of the smartest women on the planet? The fact that she was able to turn a sex tape featuring Kim and an irrelevant rapper into an empire is actually genius. She manages the entire family and has turned every single one of them into stars.
The Mini Documentary Broke The Internet...
Even though her fans never got to see her for nine months, the video made them feel like they were with her the whole time. The documentary was really well put together, starting with a scene from Kylie being born all the way up until she gave birth, which really struck an emotional chord with her fans.
There Was A Common Theme...
Most reactions to the video could be summed up with this tweet. It was an emotional video that would make even the most sociopathic person have a quivery lower lip. Super Bowl Sunday has never seen more tears per capita in one day, ever. Especially since Tom Brady lost and we know the waterworks that can come from that guy.
It Seemed Literally Everyone Loved It...
To say that everyone is in love with the Kardashian/ Jenner family would be a lie. With the insane amount of fame comes insane amounts of hate. But even the biggest hater was taken back by this video and is now binge watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians as we speak.
And Then Some Depression Set In...
One part of the video that's garnering a lot of attention is the brief moment that its wardrobe is shown. The baby has a full wardrobe to choose from and it's mildly depressing. A baby that's four days old should not have a bigger and better closet than a full grown adult who's spent decades building theirs up.
Although Some Were Inspired By It For The Wrong Reasons...
The video evokes many emotions as I've already gotten into, but it seems that there's some unwanted inspiration as a result of it. Many young girls are feeling the need to get pregnant because they see how happy Kylie was. Newsflash, Kylie has about 600 million more dollars than you, please go to school.
There's A Lot Of Speculation Regarding The Name...
Perhaps the biggest conversation surrounding the baby right now is what its name is going to be. Assuming that Travis Scott has to weigh in on the matter, and considering the history of Kardashian name choices it could be off the charts weird. Personally, I like "It's Lit" or "Lip Kit" but who am I to pick.
But One, In Particular, Seems To Be The Front Runner
Recently there was a social media post that showed a new tattoo on Kylie's arm that is stirring up speculation. It's a little butterfly which is pointing people to believe that the baby's going to be named such. I hope that Kylie and Travis realize their kid will have to go to school eventually.
Not Everyone Is Loving It...
The reaction to the news hasn't gone over well. In all the time searching for a tweet that put the name in a positive light, I couldn't find one. The name is so, uh, interesting that people are literally willing to deactivate their social media accounts so that they don't have to deal with it.
Many Were Struck On A Deeper Level...
With the influx of hilarious tweets came more serious ones like this. It is commendable that a girl whose life is based on publicity and selling her brand would hide away for 9 months to get away from attention. She did it because she said it was the safest way to handle the pregnancy both physically and mentally.
And, Finally...
Now that she's shown us all the light, it's pretty clear that Kylie is going to be bombarded with requests about life as a mom. While it's clearly way too early to tell, if what we saw from her video is any indication, we're all going to be along for the ride.
The Newest Kardashian's Name Is Revealed
...And things are getting stormy. Or should we say, Stormi? On Tuesday, just two days after announcing her daughter's birth to the world, Kylie posted the photo above on Instagram. The caption simply said: "Stormi" with an angel emoji of course.
There’s Gotta Be A Deeper Meaning
So what does the name Stormi mean? The literal dictionary definition meaning, 'storm', could mean "a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow". As funny as that would be, I'm not sure she was named after a storm. There is a second meaning of the name that could hold more clout — it's "a tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy." Let's be honest, the Kardashian/Jenner clan are no newcomers to controversy and Stormi has already caused a 'storm' of it.
They Just Want To Be Weather Girls
There are other theories on why Kylie named her baby Stormi. One of the ones gaining some attention revolves around the idea that the Kardashian/Jenner girls actually just want to be meteorologists. They want nothing more than to have their babies names subliminally become a weather forecast. It’s brilliant.
So Who’s Next?
Next up for Kardashian babies is Khloe. In typical Khloe fashion, she's getting the short end of the stick by having the baby after there have already been 60 between the other sisters. If we're going with the theory that they want to be weather girls, Khloe is going to have to name her kid "Wind" or "Cyclone" or even "Slippery".
