The 15 Most Read Interview Stories from 2021

The year from hell, also known as 2021, is coming to an end. Though it was originally touted as the kick-off for the “roaring 20s,” it was another year of uncertainty and pandemic-induced stress and trauma. As 2022 teases us with its promise of  elevation, activation, and appreciation, we decided to look back at the last year and compile a few of our top-read stories. From Chris Meloni’s glutes to Mariah Carey’s pep talk to Cardi B, it’s been real. See you next year.
