Late into the evening of November 7, 2020, after four long, sleepless nights of ballot-counting and browser-refreshing, a huge crowd gathered outside the White House.

In a year ravaged by lockdowns, police brutality, and an ongoing pandemic, these scenes were a moment of brief yet beautiful respite from political chaos. Fittingly, they were soundtracked by mass chants of the year’s most important track: "WAP," the record-breaking collaboration between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
