Cultural Tip
French speakers love a good "drama" (often borrowed from English) when talking about celebrities, especially on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Keep the tone light and informal; using "drama" signals a modern, youthful register. In more formal contexts you would replace "drama" with "scandale" or "affaire".
