Monica Lewinsky went viral on Wednesday after joining a social media trend involving one of Taylor Swift’s new songs as she referenced her time in the White House with former President Bill Clinton.

Social media users started sharing lyrics from the song, “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me,” along with an image referencing a personal memory or anecdote from their past
Lewinsky posted a photo of the White House, along with the Swift lyrics.
Lewinsky, a former White House intern, found herself in the middle of a political scandal in the 1990s after having an affair with Clinton while he was president. The affair resulted in an impeachment trial for Clinton, but he was ultimately acquitted by the Senate and served the rest of his term.
