In October 2023, TikTok influencers Tabitha Swatosh and Michael Sanzone sparked widespread concern among their millions of followers when they posted cryptic videos that many interpreted as signs of a breakup.
The couple, who began dating in October 2022, had regularly shared glimpses of their relationship on TikTok, including date nights, challenges, and fun moments.
Their cute and public relationship had garnered a lot of attention, with fans invested in their love story.

However, rumors started when Tabitha uploaded a TikTok on October 10, 2023, lip-syncing to Gotye’s hit song “Somebody That I Used to Know,” a breakup anthem that features painful lyrics about a troubled relationship. The specific lyrics Tabitha mouthed,
“Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over, but had me believing it was always something that I’d done,” seemed to suggest that something was amiss in her relationship with Michael.
The timing of the post raised alarm among her fans, many of whom speculated that the couple had broken up.
Just a day after Tabitha’s post, Michael responded by sharing a similar video on his own TikTok account.
He mouthed the same lyrics, but his expression seemed to suggest that he took offense to the line “had me believing it was always something that I’d done,” hinting that he wasn’t at fault for any potential issues between them.
This cryptic exchange only fueled further speculation, leaving fans anxious for confirmation on the status of the couple’s relationship.
The outpouring of concern from fans was overwhelming, with many flooding the comments sections of both influencers’ videos asking if they had broken up. One fan wrote,
“If they broke up I don’t believe in love anymore,” while another urged them to “say it ain’t so.”
TikTok users expressed their disbelief and anxiety, urging the couple to clear up the confusion as soon as possible.
Fortunately for their fans, Tabitha and Michael quickly addressed the breakup rumors. On October 12, 2023, Tabitha posted a new TikTok video, showing her trying out the “red nail theory,” a popular TikTok trend where it’s believed that red nails can “reel men in.”
In the video, Tabitha explained that she had heard this theory and decided to try it out on her boyfriend, Michael.
Despite the playful nature of the video, Michael’s reaction was less than enthusiastic—he scoffed at the red nails, clearly not a fan of the color.
The clip ended with Tabitha humorously explaining that the “red nail theory” didn’t quite work on her boyfriend.
Though the red nails didn’t win Michael over, the video confirmed that Tabitha and Michael were still very much together, putting to rest the breakup rumors.
Fans expressed relief, with many finding the couple’s playful dynamic and Michael’s reaction to the red nails both funny and endearing.
