as we begin to close one historic year, many of us have been working on the best things that happened during this complicated year to shed some light on great projects and spread positivism. TikTok, the Chinese video-sharing social networking service, has just followed our steps by unveiling the TOP 10 viral videos of 2021 on the mega-famous app. from cranberry juice-drinking skateboarders to theater kids and emerging stars across the music, fashion, and dance worlds, we’re here for all of it.
