"As a mark of pure intent, going Instagram official has become a firmly entrenched dating marker. To post a picture of you and your new partner on Instagram on the grid, mind you, not hiding behind the cowardice of a story is to not only declare that you are in love, but also that you are confident enough in your future to share it with the world."
"As such, Katy Perry's decision to go Instagram official with Justin Trudeau is a classic of the genre. Long dogged by rumours that they might be together, Perry this week debuted a sanctioned image of them both. They are cheek to cheek. They are smiling, albeit in that slightly strained hurry-up-and-take-it way you do when someone decides to shoot a whole reel of photos."
"The problem is that you wouldn't know this unless you looked really really hard. Last November, Grande posted a carousel of pictures to her account with the caption: Sydney, you have stolen our hearts. The first picture was of her with Cynthia Erivo. The second picture was just of her from behind. The third one was of her from the front."
Going Instagram official by posting a couple photo on the grid has become a clear dating marker that signals pure intent and confidence in a shared future. Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau recently posted a sanctioned cheek-to-cheek image, smiling in a hurried, slightly strained way that signals seriousness. Celebrities offer a range of ways to go Instagram official, with varying success. Ariana Grande's purported announcement involved a 19-photo carousel where only one image actually showed her with Ethan Slater, amid pictures of Cynthia Erivo, a rear view, a frontal shot and a bubble. Such obscured posts often fail as clear declarations.
