2021 in a Nutshell: The Best and Worst Moments of the Year

Well folks, we made it through 2021. It's been quite a year, hasn't it? From politics to pop culture, we've seen it all. Let's take a look back at the highs and lows of the year that was.

First up, in the world of politics, it was another eventful year. Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States, and Kamala Harris made history as the first female, Black, and Indian-American Vice President. There were also plenty of scandals, from the infamous Ted Cruz Cancun trip to Matt Gaetz's alleged involvement in a sex trafficking ring. And who can forget Rudy Giuliani's hair dye disaster during a press conference?

But politics wasn't the only thing making headlines. The pandemic continued to wreak havoc, with new variants emerging and vaccinations being rolled out. We saw celebrities like Tom Hanks and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson battle COVID-19, and everyone from healthcare workers to grocery store clerks were hailed as heroes.

Meanwhile, the world of entertainment continued to keep us entertained. Taylor Swift dropped not one, but two surprise albums, and Adele made a comeback with her highly anticipated album "30". "Squid Game" became the most watched show on Netflix, and Lil Nas X's music video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" caused quite the stir.

And who could forget the rise of TikTok? Whether it was sea shanties or dance challenges, the app took the world by storm. We saw viral TikTok stars like Addison Rae and Charli D'Amelio become household names, and even our grandmas started making their own videos.

But of course, with the good, comes the bad. We lost some greats this year, from Prince Philip to DMX. And who can forget the chaos that ensued in Afghanistan, and the devastating effects of climate change in places like Texas and Germany?

Overall, 2021 was a year of highs and lows, of triumphs and tragedies. But as we move forward into 2022, let's remember to cherish the good, learn from the bad, and always keep our sense of humor.
