Origin of Shot Girl Summer
In 2019, fans of rapper Megan Thee Stallion dubbed that year's summer Hot Girl Summer. That August, Stallion released an actual song titled Hot Girl Summer, which became the summer's unofficial anthem.
Summer 2020 was, as you are likely aware, much less "hot" than summer 2019. Those who were excited to resume normal summer activities in 2021 dubbed the season Shot Girl Summer. This name references both Hot Girl Summer (which Shot Girl Summer is the direct sequel to) and the covid vax, which allowed people to gather without social distancing.
