Taylor Swift, Kid Cudi, and Lana Del Rey can be the perfect way to say bye to 2020 and hello to a (hopefully) brighter year ahead.
In 2017, a fun annual music trend began (as Know Your Meme notes). That was when fans started figuring out at what time to start playing certain songs on New Year’s Eve so a highlight from the song will happen the instant the clock strikes midnight and the next year begins. People have shared new discoveries in the trend in the following years, and now there’s a new batch of them for 2020. One fan noted a discovery about Taylor Swift’s Evermore highlight “Long Story Short,” tweeting, “if you play long story short by Taylor Swift at exactly 11:56:32 pm on New Years Eve, Taylor will sing ‘long story short I survived’ at exactly midnight, and I think that’s a nice way of ending this effing year” Meanwhile, somebody else figured out how to hear Phoebe Bridgers scream at midnight, while another person worked out how to start 2020 with some encouraging words from Kid Cudi. if you play long story short by Taylor Swift at exactly 11:56:32 pm on New Years Eve, Taylor will sing “long story short I survived” at exactly midnight, and I think that’s a nice way of ending this effing year robs ☆ (@mirrorballhush) December 30,2020 If you play Phoebe Bridger’s song ‘I know the End’ at exactly 11:54 and 52s tonight she’ll scream just as midnight hits.https://t.co/rMPL09GkYE — Into The London Beer Flood of 1814 (@intotheredband) December 31,2020 if you play the void by kid cudi at exactly 23:54:41 the last thing you’ll hear in 2020 is “it’s gon’ be okay”” and first thing you’ll hear in 2021 is kid cudi saying “i promise you” — ً (@BALUCIAGA) December 30,2020 Check out more “if you play” tweets below, including some highlights from previous years. if you play “Love” by Lana at exactly 11:57:09 on December 31st youll hear “dont worry baby” at midnight — anna (@bambieyyes) December 30,2020 if you play body by megan thee stallion at exactly 11:57:48 PM she can body yody you into the new year pic.
