Every Zing Now: 19 Memorable Music Tweets From 2017

The Emoji Movie

The world went through a lot this year — Trump, an investigation into Russian election interference, Nazis, an Arcade Fire album rollout. Twitter also went through a lot this year — Trump, an investigation into Russian election interference, a controversy about verifying Nazis, and, perhaps most shockingly, a new 280 character limit. It’s been a wild ride!
