If there's one thing that you can say about Twitter, it's that there's no place on the Internet like it. I mean, where else can you engage in a live debate about whether or not you should wash your legs in the shower? Or watch the president lose the plot in real time? It's also a great place to connect with famous musicians, as we're about to find out in the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments. Cancel your plans this Wednesday, then, as you're not going to want to miss out on the following Twitter highlights from Janelle Monáe, Mick Jagger, Kid Cudi, Khalid, Charli XCX, and more.

JANELLE MONÁE IS THE REAL MOTHER OF DRAGONS

This video of Janelle Monáe lying on a dragon float and drinking a cocktail is basically everything that Season 8 of Game of Thrones wishes that it could have been. No, really – my girl is looking SMOKING in that bikini!

 

MOVES LIKE JAGGER

How is that Mick Jagger is 75 years old still fitter than I – a woman in her mid-20s – will ever be? And I haven't even mentioned the fact that this video was filmed SIX WEEKS after the dude underwent heart surgery! Amazing!

 

KID CUDI 2020

Okay, so, let me get this straight – not only is Kid Cudi going to be appearing alongside Aaron Paul in West-freaking-world in 2020, but he's dropping a whole ass album too? Bring it on, Cudder!

 

KHALID AND BILLIE EILISH: NAME A MORE ICONIC DUO

Erm, not to exaggerate or anything, but I'm pretty sure that this video of Khalid and Billie Eilish writing “lovely” is the most important footage ever recorded in music history. Jokes aside, Khalid's falsetto is ON POINT in this clip.

 

CHARLI XCX IS COMING

OMG! So it seems that Charli XCX was only getting started last Wednesday when she dropped the Lizzo-featuring “Blame It on Your Love.” FIVE MONTHS of brand new music? 2019 is about to go OFF!

 

JUST @ ME NEXT TIME, LIZZO

I feel very attacked!!!!

I feel very attacked!!!!

P.S. My body is SO ready for Lizzo's Tiny Desk Concert!

 

KIM PETRAS ENDS THE PATRIARCHY

Nothing to see here, just Kim Petras ending the patriarchy in fewer than 280 characters. In all seriousness, I think that I speak for everyone when I say that the “Blow It All” singer nailed it with this tweet. #StopTheBan

 

VINCE STAPLES, EVERYONE

Weird flex, but okay.

 

STOP EVERYTHING, KEHLANI JUST SHARED MORE PHOTOS OF ADEYA

Can Adeya quit being so goddamn cute, already? I mean it – that smile is enough to steal anyone's heart! I'm such a proud auntie! Oh, and is it me, or is she already starting to look like a mini Kehlani? ADORABLE!

 

WTF, LIL YACHTY?

Me every time that Lil Yachty tweets:

Until next Wednesday, I'll see you over at Twitter! x
