Beginning with the most poignant tweet of the year, the unexpected announcement of the death of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. This became the most liked tweet in history with 7.5 million likes and was the most retweeted tweet this year. Rest in Power, King.

Another tragic event that occurred this year was the passing of a king of the hoops, Kobe Bryant alongside his daughter Gianna. Former President Obama tweeted a heartfelt message to the family, making it the 3rd most liked tweet of all time and 2nd this year.

On top of everything else that has happened, it’s impossible to forget that it was an election year. A tweet of a video of Vice-President elect Kamala Harris congratulating Joe Biden became the 5th most-liked tweet of all time and marked a new beginning for the United States.

Another chart topping tweet brings light to some of 2020’s blessings as a girl named Melane announces she is cancer free. This four word tweet carrying the weight of a saved life is now the 10th-most liked tweet of all time and offers a message of hope.

Typos happen to the bet of us. Wait, sorry, I meant “best.” Ever since Twitter’s creation users have been begging for an option to edit an already sent tweet in the case of embarrassing typos. Well, Twitter has finally offered to give it to them, with one catch. Everyone has to wear a mask.

Most of us have had to resort to online shopping more than usual, but without Amazon Prime same-day shipping is rarely guaranteed. I know my package won’t be there minutes after I confirm the order…but what if I checked anyway? You know, just in case.

Ever since Miley Cyrus released the song “Party in the U.S.A” in 2009, it’s earned a spot as one of the most iconic songs of this generation. It’s played on roadtrips, at high school dances, and I know you all blast it at the house when your parents aren’t home. But after 2020 and all the things this country has went through, a lot of people are questioning how in the world Miley was partying in the U.S.A.

Twitter once again proves somehow we have all lived the same childhood. When your parents are on the phone and ask you to get a pen, the entire call falls into your hands. You race to get a pen, hoping it isn’t one of the ones someone put back despite it not working, and scurry to give it to your parent. They start writing everything they needed to remember from the call, and mission accomplished. You are officially child of the year.

Another nostalgic song many of us remember is “Come Get Her” by Rae Sremmurd. The most prominent lyric in the song that we all know is, “Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper.” So now, five years later, we’re starting to get worried. Is she okay? Did somebody ever go get her? Or is she still dancin’ like a stripper?

March was the last time most of us were on Sahuaro campus, it was our last month of normal school. Ever since then the months seem to blend together and even though we hope the next month will be different, they’ve been the same. So, what if I told you it will be March again in 3 months? None of us imagined things would last this long, but in 3 simple months it will of been an entire year since our world flipped upside down. Let’s hope in 2021 it gets flipped right-side up again.

Let’s take a dive into the best tweets of 2020.
