As 2016 winds downs, everyone is taking a look back at one heck of a year. Twitter released a collection of the year’s top social media moments. #ThisHappened definitely reminds us that 2016 was a year to remember. A few bizarre moments seemed to capture Twitter’s heart.

However, one Spanish gamer stole the lemonade show with a single worded tweet.
Harry Styles Throwing Shade
On his 22nd birthday, the boy band hearthrob tweeted out the celebration. However, many speculated that he was throwing some shade out to his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Of course, there were plenty of tweets about the historic and crazy presidential campaign. We won’t get into that can of worms.
Then, there were heartfelt serious moments. Like the hopeful tweet from Hillary Clinton after conceding the campaign to the now president-elect Donald Trump.
"To all the little girls watching…never doubt that you are valuable and powerful & deserving of every chance & opportunity in the world."

However, CNet reports that as huge of a social media storm that was made by the presidential campaign, it came in second to another major event: the Rio Olympics.
