We’ve been in 2020 for what feels like an entire century, but shockingly, it’s only
been five months.
We’re not even halfway through this year people!
And while much of 2020 has been treacherous and slow, you may have forgotten about these
good things that happened pre-social distancing.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and we’re all going to look back on 2020
as the year we were bored in the house bored in the house bored… but some pretty notable
things happened before the lockdowns.
Most of which were exciting and happy, but obviously 2020 also brought some other tragedies
aside from the ones we are facing now.
But today, we’re going to keep it positive here and remember some moments from the better,
simpler times earlier this year.
Let’s start with a very memorable viral video moment that literally had the entire
world buzzing.
And this might blow your mind, but it has only been about 3 months since Charlotte Awbery
was discovered in the subway.
That raked in millions of views back in February, which honestly seems like a lifetime ago already.
Charlotte went on to perform on Ellen and has almost 700,000 followers now on Instagram.
So while 2020 has certainly been rough around the edges, at least we’ll always have that
video of Charlotte singing in a subway station.
Alright, another part of 2020 you might have already forgotten about is a Netflix show
that had us all obsessed.
And no I’m not talking about Tiger King, I’m talking about the show Cheer.
The Navarro College cheer team had us all on the edge of our seats with their emotional
stories and crazy stunts.
It’s hard to believe that it really wasn’t that long ago that all we had to worry about
was Daytona and whether or not Jerry Harris was going to make mat.
Spoiler alert, Jerry not only made mat but he went on to interview tons of celebs at
the Oscars.
Jerry, along with some of the others from the show like Gabi and Morgan all have gained
well over a million followers each since the show.
All this talk is making me want to re-watch the show, I’m going to add that to my Netflix
queue.
Ok, another part of 2020 that might not be at the forefront of your mind right now is
award season.
Yep, we had The Grammys, The Golden Globes, The SAG Awards, The Oscars, and more earlier
this year.
And while it feels like that was a lifetime ago, there were some pretty significant moments
during the 2020 award season.
Like Billie Eilish completely sweeping the Grammys.
In case you forgot, Billie and Finneas won in every major category and took home trophy
after trophy making history left and right.
Obviously we wish we could be seeing Billie on tour right about now, but we know that
she and Finneas are just working on more Grammy winning hits during this whole isolation thing.
Another big moment from award season was when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston publicly reunited
at the SAG Awards.
Y’all, I think twitter literally broke over this moment and now I feel like half of the
people that were totally freaking out might have already forgotten it happened.
Basically exes Jen and Brad both won SAG Awards and gave each other a very warm hello that
many people took as PDA.
This hand grab was the moment their fans had been waiting for years and years.
It seemed to just be a friendly moment, but the fact that it was captured on camera was
enough to have the whole world buzzing.
And the last but certainly not least moment we’re going to talk about is one you definitely
remember… it just feels like it was way longer than 3 months ago.
J. Lo and Shakira’s Super Bowl halftime show.
The two made history as the first all Latinx halftime show and it had everything from stripper
poles to crazy choreography, to lots and lots of booty.
Oh and J. Lo’s daughter Emme totally stole the show when she came out to perform a bit
of her mom’s song “Let’s Get Loud.”
Ugh that was such a beautiful moment and did you happen to notice the crowds of people
in the background, remember crowds?
In conclusion, we miss those days but we know we will get back to happier times soon.
And for now I’m going to go re-watch Cheer and listen to Charlotte Awbery sing Shallow
until 2021.
