In a video Peterson posted to Instagram, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Halloween" was asked about celebrity encounters at a Knott's Scary Farm fan Q&A on Friday at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Peterson noted that Grande also left before the Elvira show even began, leaving her friends and family. Others sided with Peterson, commenting, "Elvira has always kept it real," and, "I am VERY inclined to believe this is very true." Peterson played Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, in the 1980s television program "Elvira’s Movie Macabre," the 1988 film "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" and the 2001 movie "Elvira’s Haunted Hills."

In her first year of competitive cycling, Faulkner earned just $7,000. Another reason Faulkner wanted to continue working in venture capital was so she'd have at least 5 years of professional experience before taking a hiatus.

The anxiety abated for a bit when Vice President Kamala Harris replaced him on the ticket and her poll numbers spiked. With Harris' numbers stagnant now for weeks, many Democrats are once again fretting that the election is slipping away and that Donald Trump may yet regain power. Harris appears to be OK with the collective jitters, recognizing that if Democrats fear they might lose, they're more apt to show up at the polls and help her win. Polling shows that neither Harris nor Trump has built a lead outside the margin of error. Claims that Harris is an underdog amount to “a liberal plot to get us overconfident on the Trump side,” he added.

In the latter part of the song, Welch raises her voice in a long howl of rage.

"I Do (I Think)," explores essential conversations of marriage for a Gen Z and millennial audience. When I grew up and started hearing about married couples who had separate finances and alternated who paid for dinner, I found it weird at best and unsettling at worst. My view on married couples with separate finances changedNow that I'm older, I see it all differently. Different states also have different levels of protection for married couples who divorce, which can impact what extra steps you feel you do or don't need to take. I'm not financially savvy and I'm also hyperaware that money conversations can be deeply emotional in ways we aren't always equipped to handle.
