contents As we enter the final year of the second extended mission of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), it is time to reflect on what the TESS mission has contributed to the advancement of astronomy. Thousands of papers based on TESS data have already been published, making it a challenge to select the ones we mention or summarise in this review. As the title suggests, this paper focuses on variable stars, that is, phenomena that causes a star's brightness to change. We discuss all the major classes of extrinsic and intrinsic variables, from planetary transits to pulsating stars, excluding only the longest-period ones, which are not well suited for the typical time spans of TESS time-series observations. TESS has provided significant and interesting data and results for all these variable types. We hope that this selection successfully demonstrates the diverse applicability of TESS in variable star research.
