Google February Trends Transcription



Announcer – 0:00 : Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine – 0:02 : February has wrapped up, so let's check out this month's most popular search trends with Google trends expert Justin Burr. Thanks for joining me, Justin.



Justin Burr – 0:10 : Hey, thanks for having me.



Mason Paine – 0:11 : So a lot of stuff has been happening so far, and we need a recap. And the first thing I need to know about what was trending on the Grammys.



Justin Burr – 0:19 : Yeah. You know, February is a short month, but they crammed so much stuff into it. There's so many things to talk about. So Grammys. Right. Do people still watch award shows? I don't know. But looking at the Google trends, the top search red carpet looks, Taylor Swift number one. Boy genius number two. Billy Joel number three. Taylor Swift, always looking. H. She also won Grammy of the year, album of the year. She was also trending because she announced an upcoming album, tortured poets department. I already bought the vinyl on pre order. What's up? A couple other trending things. Paris Hilton new album was trending. Has Miley Cyrus ever won a Grammy? Was trending because she won her first ever Grammys. So no, she hadn't, but now she has. So I didn't watch the Grammys, but I've heard gothings and there's a lot of search interest in this.



Mason Paine – 1:10 : Know, it's crazy about the Miley Cyrus one. I was completely shocked. I really thought she won multiple Grammys.



Justin Burr – 1:17 : No, for sure. And I think that was why it was one of the breakout searches because I think people were pretty shocked when she won that one, that it was her first because, yeah, she's been making sweet tunes for a long time.



Mason Paine – 1:28 : Right.



Justin Burr – 1:29 : I don't know. I guess she never got it.



Mason Paine – 1:30 : Who else was I? Celine Dion. I thought that was fabulous that she was out there because she has that stiff person syndrome. So I know she limits her going outside a lot, but it was absolutely amazing. She looked gorgeous.



Justin Burr – 1:44 : So good. Yeah. She's had to cancel some tours and stuff. Right. She's had some mobility issues.



Mason Paine – 1:49 : Yeah.



Justin Burr – 1:49 : Great. I've seen her in concert and it was.



Mason Paine – 1:54 : Wow.



Justin Burr – 1:55 : Yeah, dude, dude. Right before the pandemic hit, right in Brooklyn, got some tickets, last second, went in there and she just rocked. Was, it was so such, she's such a performer, really captivates an audience, captivates the world. So it's awesome.



Mason Paine – 2:12 : When it comes to other culture stuff, what else was trending in February?



Justin Burr – 2:16 : Yeah, there's a few things. We've got Black History Month, we've got lunar new year, and we've also got some Valentine's Day things. So some trending searches here. Why is black History Month in February. That was a breakout search in the United States, and there's a lot of different answers, but some of the main points are that Lincoln and Douglas's birthdays are in February, and there used to be black history week, and that was in February, and they extended it to an entire month. Who started the civil rights movement? And there's no single person that I was actually the catalyst for that. But the ACP was a prominent organization in that movement, was also looking at the top searched black owned products ...
