Because of this, Tweety has become one of popular culture’s favorite characters, and has a significant presence in the ambit of moda and lifestyle, appearing in the most unexpected ways. His bright color, high optimism and modest strength make him one of the most loved by celebs, influencers, stylists, artists and others.
