Someone wise once said,?? ??? ?? & ?? ?? ??? ?? "When you love something, PowerPoint it."
An angel amongst us, @buzzkillary, has taken these words to heart. Hillary, bless her heart, hopped on Twitter on Thursday night to share with the world an extensive PowerPoint presentation revolving around the rumors that have swirled for months about Lorde and Jack Antonoff, the producer of her album Melodrama.

"I recently made a claim that Lorde and Jack Antonoff are together and it's taken me on a strange journey to the Truth, which I present to you in the way I best express myself — powerpoint."

"Listen I'm fully aware of what Lorde SAYS the album is about and what each song is about so do not come at me with that what is she gonna say, 'lol ya it's about how we were banging behind Lena's back,'" she wrote. (Important context: Antonoff was until very recently dating Lena Dunham.) Hillary brings a critical point to the conversation: People don't mess with public figures that moonlight as "home wreckers."
Which means, according to Hillary, that while centering the narrative of Melodramaaround a house party might have been the original intent, it's definitely not what the Grammy-nominated album ended up being about. It's all "proven" in over 20 slides jam-packed with all the information you need to come to the conclusion that they might, in fact, be together — and that they havebeen together since Antonoff and Lorde began working closely together on the album in 2016.
Her suspicions first started after a close listening of "Green Light."
"I was just FLOORED because I had never even considered that it was anything other than what I believed it to be, which is kind of that frenzied, desperate feeling you have in relationships in your early 20s that deep down you know are not healthy and rationally you KNOW better, but you're basically addicted to it all," she wrote over email to Mashable, explaining that when Lorde hinted she loved someone from New Jersey but insisted they were friends, it felt wrong. "It felt like I was being lied to and I guess I took it as a challenge because I was VERY thrown by how off my intuition was if this was honestly the case."
There are key players you need to know before we move into the tangible "proof." Lorde, Antonoff, Dunham, Taylor Swift, and Lorde's ex-boyfriend all get their own slides with important facts. (Did you know Antonoff is from New Jersey? Fun fact!).

There's also a timeline of their "friendship" in the public eye — including appearances on Saturday Night Liveand on-stage at concerts together.
But the best part comes from Hillary's breakdown of specific songs off of Melodrama. She examines everything from "Green Light" to "Liability" and, well, you can listen and draw your own conclusions, but yikes. It's looking good for Lorde-Antonoff truthers out there.

"I researched as I went, it started as just a scribbled relationship map trying to figure out everyone's connections because I honestly thought I might find out I was wrong - like the timing wouldn't make sense, or it just wouldn't add up," she said. "I opened PowerPoint up to use as a screenshot repository with notes for my reference. There was no intention for this to become a damn dissertation, but here we are."
Oh, and she listened to Melodramacontinuously while making it which she says "probably drove me to insanity to some degree."
Rumors about the two have been in orbit for the better part of 2018 -- since Antonoff and Dunham announced their breakup in January. And while some have dismissed it as wayward gossip, plenty of people are thrilled to find supposed proof in this PowerPoint.

Lorde, if you read this, Hillary has an important message: "I want Lorde to know that I am not coming for her in any way shape or form and that I send her love and light."
