Happy New Year, Twitterheads! How are you? How's 2022 treating you so far?

Before you load up another game of Wordle, then, check out the following edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring The Weeknd, Katy Perry, Cardi B, and more!

THE WEEKND AND JIM CARREY TEAM UP FOR DAWN FM

THE DAWN IS COMING! And wait! It features my first crush and all-around childhood hero, Jim freaking Carrey? Erm, excuse me while I completely and utterly lose my mind! The Weeknd has been keeping The XO fed for a couple of years now, but something tells me Dawn FM is about to be their tastiest meal yet! BRING ON JANUARY 7TH!

 

KATY PERRY BRINGS CHAOTIC ENERGY TO LAS VEGAS

From twerking atop a gigantic toilet to lactating a Corona beer, Katy Perry's Las Vegas residency, PLAY, has been pure chaotic energy so far. And you better believe I'm totally living for it! That's what you get for waking up in Vegas, baby! Seriously, though – after the cr*pper that was 2021, I think we all needed this!

 

CARDI B WANTS EVERYBODY TO TAKE A RISK THIS 2022

This, this, and this. We're going to be seeing a whole lot of New Year platitudes coming our way over the next few days, but honestly? This is all we truly need to hear. 2022 is yours for the taking, so what are you waiting for? GO FOR IT! P.S. Can we take a moment to appreciate Cardi B's New Year Chanel lewk? Iconic!

 

BTS MEMBERS V AND JIMIN ARE SOULMATES

SCREAMING! CRYING! THROWING UP! V and Jimin's bromance is a gift that keeps on giving, and this birthday post is the latest perfect present from the pair! "My love?" My heart just burst into tiny, minuscule fragments! They're literally soulmates, you guys! Oh, and I'm definitely going to need more Kim Taehyung in glasses content!

 

CHER PAYS TRIBUTE TO FELLOW AMERICAN ICON BETTY WHITE

Finding out Betty White had died while scrolling my Twitter feed was genuinely a pretty cr*ppy end to my 2021! It's so deeply sad she got taken from us just a few days before turning 100! The tributes pouring in for her have made for truly lovely reading, though, including this one from fellow American icon Cher. RIP, Golden Girl!

 

LADY GAGA IS KEEPING ON KEEPING ON THIS NEW YEAR

I'm not going to lie: I'm really not a fan of New Year's resolutions or setting unachievable goals in January. What I am a fan of, however, is continuing to grow, continuing to grind, and continuing to thrive. So it's safe to say this tweet from Lady Gaga hit different. Keep on keeping on, Guardians! You can do this!

 

GRIMES CHANNELS HER INNER PLAGUE DOCTOR

A PANDEMIC MOOD! I guess if the world insists on making us live through this godforsaken virus, why not go all out and channel your inner plague doctor from 17th-century Rome? Of course, no guarantees you'll be able to pull this look off quite as hard as Grimes does right here. I'm also living for that nana sweater!

 

DOJA CAT IS THE QUEEN OF SH*TPOSTING

LMAO! This tweet pretty much sums up why Doja Cat is – and probably always will be – my favorite pop star! I love the fact she has one of the biggest platforms on social media, but uses it to share content like this? She really is the queen of sh*tposting, and I quite frankly wouldn't have her any other way!

 

MARIAH CAREY IS BREAKING FREE THIS 2022

Erm, a whole damn snow queen, much? Mariah Carey Season, aka Christmas, may be over for another year, but rather than returning to her deep-sealed frozen chamber until next December, Mimi is breaking free into 2022! Does this mean new music – or maybe even a new album – could finally be on the cards? As this Lamb is most definitely ready!

 

NORMANI JUST SHARED THE HOTTEST NEW MUSIC SNIPPET

OMFG! And just like that, Normani has got the whole of 2022 in a chokehold! I'm really hoping sis doesn't take six-odd months to drop like she did with "Wild Side," because this new music snippet is unspeakably spicy! *Sings* YOU'RE MY FAVORITE STILL! WHEN I SAY I WON'T, TELL MYSELF I DON'T, BUT I ALWAYS WILL!
