Brat Summer
Chances are, lime green has wormed its way into your life in some way, shape, or form this summer. Brat Summer and its encouragement of unapologetic authenticity permeated the culture from “Kamala is brat” to “bumpin that” memes, to the actual album boasting some of Charli XCX’s best work to date.
Kendrick vs. Drake Beef
Signs of a feud have popped up here and there for years, but Kendrick and Drake escalated tensions to an all-time high this year. As of the end of 2024, it shows no signs of letting up.
The Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Press Tour
There is really so little that can be said about these two actors that they haven’t said about each other already…
Paris Olympics
The Paris Olympics saw the triumphant returns of Céline Dion, Simone Biles, and Suni Lee as well as the rise of new darlings like Ilona Maher, Jordan Chiles, and Stephen Nedoroscik. A small glimmer of unity in a chaotic year.
It Ends With Us (2024) On-Set Drama
The reported rift between Director/Star Justin Baldoni and Star/Producer Blake Lively made this drama even more…dare I say, dramatic.
Taylor Swift’s Looks from the Eras Tour
As the Eras Tour stretched into its second leg, Taylor Swift delivered even more dazzling looks and kept people anxiously awaiting what she’d do night to night. So much so that Swifties started playing a game where they’d bet on her outfit combinations.
The Timotheé Chalamet Lookalike Contest
The lookalike competition that walked so a slew of others could run, culminating in a surprise appearance from the inspiration himself.
The Willy Wonka Glasgow Experience
A story so unbelievably wacky, you’d almost never believe it if there weren’t multiple video accounts. The Willy Wonka Glasgow Experience delivered a slew of laughs and confusion and inadvertently set the tone for 2024.

This duo’s energy and dry humor together made for a delightful press tour for a lovely movie that is likely going to take up a lot of conversation this award season.
The Wicked (2024) Press Tour
Whether it was Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo crying over their beautiful experience filming, Jonathan Bailey and Jeff Goldblum’s chaotic hijinks, or the casts’ immaculate Letterboxd Top 4 picks, the Wicked press tour was giving theatre kid energy in the best way.
Robert Downey Jr. Returning as Dr. Doom
The last thing anyone expected was for Robert Downey Jr. to return to the MCU after his successful Oscar run for last year’s Oppenheimer (2023). D23 delivered the news that RDJ would return to the MCU as Dr. Doom and truly shocked fans and casual observers alike
Internet Response to Twisters (2024)
The only thing more fun than Twisters was the internet response to Twisters. Twitter was brimming with people begging for Glen Powell to chase them, 4DX reactions, and all kinds of excellent memeing.
