It’s 2020, y’all! Kinda just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? TwenTAY-twenTAY. If you’re already all like, “The 2010s were a lost decade, and there ain’t shit about the 2020s that makes me think things will be any different,” stop, take a deep breath and then check out this Lizzo tweet:

2009 was the year I lived in my car & cried myself to sleep on thanksgiving
2019 is the year my album & song went #1. 2019 is the year I told my mama I can buy her a house
Anything can happen in a decade
