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.<\/b>

That was when fans started figuring out at what time to start playing certain songs on New Year\u2019s 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\u2019s a new batch of them for 2020.
