The Coquette, aka coketweets, was an anonymous blogger with a huge following until Tumblr deleted everything last night — because of just three songs posted months ago.

The Coquette was, until last night, author of three very popular anonymous blogs run on Tumblr. She had created Dear Coquette for advice, Coquette Style for fashion, and simply The Coquette for sarcastic and witty pop culture writing and comment. She had amassed a large, loyal following since she started blogging on Tumblr in 2009. Her blogs were included on best-of lists from Time magazine and the Huffington Post. She published a book, Notes to My Future Husband, in 2012, and she wrote for other sites (including BuzzFeed). She inspired such devoted fans that screenshots of her tweets (she has almost 30,000 Twitter followers) would be posted to Tumblr and then get thousands of notes.
In fact, the Coquette was so popular on the platform that Tumblr asked her to participate in "Answer Time," Tumblr's new initiative that's kind of like Reddit's AMAs with famous people. It's an officially promoted Q&A for fans of popular accounts. It was scheduled to take place on Monday. But instead, she found herself booted from Tumblr entirely.
On Monday night, the Coquette announced on Twitter that Tumblr had shut down her account due to a copyright complaint over three songs she had posted to her blog. The songs were "I Feel Better" by Gotye, posted last August, "Take Me to Church" by Hozier, posted this February, and "Warm Water (Figgy Remix)" by Banks, posted just this week.
