But social media turned it into something else. Many users interpreted <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/doja-cat-mocks-sydney-sweeneys-american-eagle-advert\/\">the double meaning as a nod to \u201cgenetic superiority\u201d<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 <strong>an interpretation the brand firmly denied.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation escalated to the unexpected: <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> and <strong>J.D.

Trump even called it \u201cthe hottest ad ever\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-it-was-surreal\">&#8220;It was surreal&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking with <em>GQ<\/em>, Sweeney admitted the reaction came as a surprise.<strong><em> \u201cI did a jeans ad. The reaction was definitely a surprise. But I love jeans; I wear them every day of my life,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also revealed she barely followed the media frenzy: <em>\u201cI was filming Euphoria, working sixteen-hour days.

For Sweeney, it was a reminder of how quickly the narrative can slip out of one\u2019s hands. <strong><em>\u201cWhen there\u2019s something I actually want to speak about, people will hear,\u201d <\/em><\/strong>she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with GQ, Sydney Sweeney described the controversy surrounding her American Eagle campaign as \u201csurreal\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":548949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3073],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-548954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  -
