“Did we make it?” viral TikTok trend is bringing out the cutest gay couples
especially in the gay community. Between compromise, commitment, communication, and the inevitable movements of life, it’s understandable why many partnerships end up in heartbreak.
But as romantic Kylie Minogue songs (and Jonathan Bennett’s Instagram page) remind us: sometimes, it works out!And that’s exactly the kind of spirit evoked by the recent viral “Did We Make It?” trend on TikTok.
Cue the tears!The premise is simple: TikTok users share an old pic of them and their beau asking, “Did we make it?” In the next slide, they include a 2023 update about where their relationship is now.From high school sweethearts tying the knot, to divorce celebrations and somber reflections on loss, TikTok has come together to reflect on their most important relationships.Oh yeah, and everyone is using Katy Perry‘s 2012 criminally underrated top-10 hit “Wide Awake” as the soundtrack.
Which, go awf.As of this writing, #DidWeMakeIt has received nearly 300 million views on the social media platform. And although the trend is not exclusive to queer users, we’ve got to admit that the LGBTQ+ community doing it best. (No surprise there!)Just take a look at this clip from Trish Hamilton (@trish.the.bish), documenting the journey she’s gone on with her partner since 2008. “I may have cried making this,” she wrote.
