As the year comes to an end, I took some time to think back on some of the biggest celebrity news from 2017. After stalking E! News for hours and looking through tons and tons of pictures, I have decided that these few things (in no order) were the craziest, most earth-rattling, or exciting entertainment news from this past year!

1. Beyonce has twins

This year, Queen Bey blessed every single one of us with the birth of her twins. She welcomed a new son and daughter into this world, Sir and Rumi Carter.

2. Child actors are up and coming

After Stranger Things broke incredible records and became America’s favorite television show, child stars became the new trend! IT came out later in the year, continuing the trend and creating a huge hit with their multiple young actors and actresses.

3. Selena Gomez’s Surgery

Over the summer, Selena Gomez underwent a kidney transplant to save her life. This kidney was given to her by her friend, Francia Raisa!

4. Kim breaks silence

After being robbed in October of 2016, Kim Kardashian disappeared on all social media and to all news sources. January of this year, Kim spoke out about the robbery on talk shows, in magazines, and on their reality TV show, KUWTK.

5. Lady Gaga super bowl

Lady G flew into our hearts when she rocked the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. After jumping off the roof of the stadium, she had an unforgettable performance.


6. “Me Too”

Famous men and women from all over are opening up about their sexual harassment cases. The world has been shocked by people ranging from Harvey Weinstein to beloved Matt Lauer, who are now famously known as sexual predators.

7. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has stolen more than just our hearts this year. She has stolen the heart of beloved Prince Harry and in less than one year, she has earned a ring and a spot in the royal family.

8. Thomas Rhett’s babies

In 2017, they welcomed Willa Gray and Ada James Akins into their perfect little family. You can learn their entire story just by listening to Thomas Rhett’s song Life Changes!

9. Pretty Little Liars is over. Or so, we think.

After seven LONG years of twists, turns, high school drama, and anonymous messages, Pretty Little Liars has come to an end.

10. 13 Reason Why

Selena Gomez produced a show that took the world by storm.

11. First Black Bachelorette

After being broken up with by Nick, Rachel was offered the role of the next Bachelorette. This title carried more weight for her, as she was the first African-American person to be the lead in a Bachelor or Bachelorette show.

12. Manchester

There was a suicide bombing during Ariana Grande’s concert at the Manchester Arena that took the life of 22 people. Ariana Grande hosted a benefit concert later to help raise money and bring everyone together during those tough times.

13. Rob and Blac Chyna

Having a baby didn’t bring this couple closer together at all. Childbirth led this couple to a breakup, Twitter fight, and court case.

14. Taylor Swift is back

After a long hiatus from the public eye, two break-ups, and her longest break from music, Taylor Swift re-entered the music industry with a bang!

15. Kardashian pregnancies

In one week, rumors broke about 3 members of the Kardashian clan being pregnant. Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are rumored to carrying babies by their boyfriends Travis Scott and Tristan Thompson. Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have confirmed their pregnancy by surrogate.

16. One Tree Hill has been taken off of Netflix

Everyone’s favorite TV show, One Tree Hill was removed from Netflix late this year, leaving everyone thrift-shopping for their DVDs.

17. Jelena 5Ever

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez reconnect, giving everyone a little more belief in true love.

18. P!nk

P!nk actually SLAYED 2017 by giving inspiring speeches, having an adorable family, and literally performing on the side of a skyscraper and NOT LIP-SYNCING.

19. Cardi B

Cardi B had her breakout year after starring on Love and Hip Hop and coming out with everyone’s favorite Bodak Yellow.

20. One Direction is still killing the game

One Direction broke our hearts in 2015 by taking a hiatus. This past year, each member has helped fill this void in our heart, with some new music!

21. Jersey Shore is back

The OG guido and guidette squad has recently announced that they will be back for more parties and GTLs.

With a new year, comes new heartbreak, new drama, and celebrity excitement. I can't wait to see what happens next!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
