Thanks to @atomicdryad (#6322) on the git repo the original tweet url https://twitter.com/ddlovato/status/653237587545448452 is supported. Although you url is the orignal tweet page I haven't been able to get it through their interface, is that enough or do you really need support for this url?

[MaryCoding]

Hi @jaimeMF ! I personally dont mind. I tried it with the original url and still got an error:
