Just when it looked like we were going to have a relatively controversy-free week on Twitter, K*nye W*st decided to remember his password. Luckily, his account didn't last very long, with the bird app quickly returning to business as usual. And by "business as usual," I obviously mean dank Spotify Wrapped memes and, erm, AI self-portraits. Check out the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring SZA, Dionne Warwick, Cardi B, and seven other favorites!

SZA PAID TRIBUTE TO PRINCESS DIANA ON HER ALBUM COVER

SOLÁNA IMANI ROWE SEASON APPROACHING. While I was already prepared for S.O.S. to break me, this iconic cover art paying tribute to the late Princess Diana, plus that Phoebe Bridgers collaboration, definitely has me fearing for my emotional well-being on Friday. LMAO!

 

DIONNE WARWICK WAS A CONCERNED AUNTIE

It's Spotify Wrapped Season, but rather than use the moment to boast about her artist stats, Dionne Warwick instead took to Twitter to check in on her fans like the Auntie that she is. I LOVE HER. P.S. Is "Anyone Who Had a Heart" anyone else's emotional-support song?

 

CARDI B LOOKED ICONIC IN THIS NAOMI CAMPBELL BODYSUIT

While a lot of noise is currently being kicked up on Twitter about Cardi B performing a private gig for a bunch of bankers, I don't think there's enough talk about this Jean Paul Gaultier bodysuit she wore. Cardi is serving pure icon here. Naomi Campbell undoubtedly approves!

 

J-HOPE WISHED JIN A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS ADORABLE

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING. It was JIN's 30th birthday on Sunday, and to celebrate, j-hope took to Twitter to pay tribute to his bandmate and brother-in-arms with these sweet, adorable pics. My heart is full and my serotonin levels are boosted. 2SEOK FOR LIFE!

 

LIZZO BRUTALLY CLAPPED BACK AT THE TROLLS

AND I OOP. If there's one thing Lizzo is going to do, it's respond to the haters. I'm not sure why the trolls bother to come for the Special singer at this point. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to rewatch the Love, Lizzo documentary to remind myself of the power of self-love!

 

LIL NAS X WAS HIRED AS TWITTER CEO BY ELON MUSK

SEEMS LEGIT. I, for one, think Lil Nas X is very cute, very fun, and very petite, so I'm glad to say my Twitter account is here to stay. Jokes aside, I feel like Lil Nas X is the only person capable of saving Twitter at this point. Oh, and Auntie Dionne Warwick, of course!

 

LEWIS CAPALDI TOOK SPOTIFY WRAPPED VERY SERIOUSLY

The "Artist Message" was definitely one of my favorite additions to Spotify Wrapped this year, so it's good to see "Pointless" singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi took the entire thing very seriously. My man loves a close-up, hahaha. Never change, Lewis, never change!

 

MARIAH CAREY LOOKED ABSOLUTELY DAZZLING

YOUR CHRISTMAS QUEEN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

 

ICE SPICE WAS A NEW YORK MAGAZINE COVER GIRL

Ice Spice appearing on the cover of New York Magazine alongside the likes of Julia Fox and Paul Rudd? A huge deal, much? This is a massive testament to how far Ice Spice has come over the last few months since the release of "Munch (Feelin' U)." Whatever next? Vogue Magazine?

 

STEVIE NICKS SAID HER GOODBYES TO CHRISTINE MCVIE

Rest in power, Christine McVie.
