While a recent American Eagle ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney was tangled in controversy, Gap has just launched a commercial that is being celebrated as a vibrant, refreshing, and incredibly successful counter-narrative. Fans have been quick to point out the contrast, declaring that while one ad stumbled, the other danced, quite literally, its way into their hearts.

当American Eagle（美国鹰牌）近日因悉尼妹主演的广告陷入争议之际，Gap却推出了一则被盛赞为“鲜活清新、大获成功”的反击式广告。粉丝们迅速捕捉到二者的鲜明对比，直言前者“失足翻车”，而后者却真正“舞进了人心”。

The controversy began with American Eagle's campaign, which featured Sweeney with the tagline, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans." The wordplay was intended to be a compliment, but it quickly backfired. Online critics pounced on the double meaning of "jeans" and "genes," with many interpreting the ad as having "eugenic undertones."

风波始于American Eagle以悉尼妹为主角的广告宣传片，配了一句标语“悉尼妹有条好牛仔裤”。这句双关语原本旨在赞美，却迅速引发了反噬。网友揪住“jeans”（牛仔裤）与“genes”（基因）的谐音梗，指责该广告暗含了“优生学的隐喻”。

In a move that feels like impeccable timing, Gap released its own denim commercial, and it couldn't be more different. The 1:30-long video features the rising K-pop group KATSEYE, a diverse and multi-talented group of women, all dancing with joyous abandon to Kelis' hit song "Milkshake."

Gap此时推出丹宁系列新广告，时机堪称精妙，与American Eagle的广告形成了极致的反差。这则1分30秒的视频中，新兴K-pop女团KATSEYE——六位背景多元、多才多艺的女孩，全都随着凯莉丝的金曲《Milkshake》纵情欢舞。
