TikTok Is Laughing Its Way Through The Inauguration
Now kiss!
It's Inauguration Day, which means social media is lit up with sometimes funny and sometimes sincere takes on today's events.
As President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in, TikTok did its thing. Let's take a look.
First, some people woke up with a definite spring in their step.
It's a big day!
And there was a lot to see.

During the ceremonies, some viewers needed a little explanation.

With performances from Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez, it was a star-studded affair.
The outfits, of course, were a major topic of conversation.
Especially Michelle Obama's gorgeous plum ensemble.

And while it was an exciting day, we still have some baggage to deal with.
