The Year Was 2021–Walker Hayes took the pop music world by storm with “Fancy Like,” while Chris Stapleton had a crossover hit with “Starting Over,” Cole Swindell sang “Single Saturday Night” and Chris Young and Kane Brown teamed up for “Famous Friends”…in the news, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., took the oath of office, a container ship called the Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal–and therefore barge traffic–for a period of weeks, former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd during an arrest, and SpaceX first launched a crew into space…new TV shows included “Call Me Kat” and “Ghosts”…and on the big screen, the James Bond movie “No Time To Die” and Lady Gaga starred in “House of Gucci”.
