Whether penciled in history books for reasons good, bad, ugly, and/or everything in between, 2020 brought with it some of entertainment’s most memorable moments.
Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on our favorite moments that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.
Next, we’ll look back at how Taylor Swift over came the drama of 2019 (see: ‘Cats’ failure at the box office, beef with Scooter Braun, etc.) to dominate 2020!
*Click the headline to revisit the story*
14 years after unveiling her debut album, Taylor Swift is STILL the girl to beat – a positioning she reaffirmed in 2020 when she released a top-rated Netflix special and not one, but TWO chart-topping albums.
‘Folklore’ (released in July) and ‘Evermore’ (released in December) garnered two of the year’s highest first week sales when they moved 846,000 and 329,000 respectively.
Across the two projects, Swift nabbed two #1 hits on the Hot 100 – ‘Cardigan’ and ‘Willow.’ Their premieres atop the tally penciled the singer in history books as the third female act to own at least three #1 debuts over her career (behind Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande). The feat was one of many reasons Taylor entered history books this year.
But, while her year was full of highs it wasn’t without drama.
2020 was a hell of a year for an artist who kicked it off with snubs at the year’s GRAMMY and Golden Globes’ respective ceremonies!
We can’t wait to see what the diva has cooked up for us in 2021!

Its givin unseasoned, overcooked chicken breast…. jus dry and tasteless… 🤦🏽♂️ but go awf…
Taylor has always been very successful in all of her efforts. Reputation and Lover were meh, but she’s had better years. I feel like she’s definitely matured as a person and as an artist so good for her. But This seems like a reach. “2020 brought some of entertainment’s most memorable moments” Where? Folklore was “good” but 2020 hasn’t been special or memorable for the right reasons, in entertainment, or anywhere else for that matter.
2 number 1 albums
2 debut number 1 songs
Achieved all this in 2020 alone.
Scored alot of Grammy nominations also.
She is an unstoppable force.
She’s an amazing story teller and song writer….but that’s where it ends for me. It’s crazy how White people can be so successful by just having the bare minimum. Not only in music but in every other field. A black person who writes well but can’t sing or dance or perform would never be as successful as taylor.
So very true
Lmao, I don’t know what you’re complaining about sis because Rihanna can’t write music, sing, OR dance and she’s done just fine. 😭 She walked in here with not one of the talents and nobody said nothing to her. 😂😂😂
she’s too basic for me in order for me to ever consider her a great. she does sell and her audience buys it
I love her music. She’s very beautiful and humble woman
