Highly entertaining moments. We've already talked about [“Barbie,” Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift](. But there was so much more: Like when Cardi B [threw the mic](, and Bad Bunny [threw the phone](. Or when [Lana Del Rey]( worked at Waffle House, and the [Met Gala]( purred. Don’t forget: [Grimace]( shook up the internet (nope, we’re not talking about [Threads](). Time to rewind and review the other ways 2023 did it for the plot… In viral moments…[Bobbi Althoff]( got Drake in bed. [Kravis]( welcomed a baby. [Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce]( are living a love story. Just remind them: Kim already [got married in Italy]( and [attenzione, pickpocket](. Speaking of Italy, may no one think about the [Roman Empire]( ever again. In music…Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice taught us to be [bad like the Barbie](, and Miley to [buy ourselves flowers](. Doja Cat [painted the town red](, as Olivia Rodrigo spilled her “[Guts](.” Steph Curry and Paramore gave us a [slam dunk duet](. [The Beatles]( and [the Rolling Stones]( dropped new music. Peso Pluma went [global](. Oh and, Rihanna [shined bright]( — with a bump — at the Super Bowl. In tv and film…“[The Idol](” didn’t live up to its name. But “[M3gan](” did. “[The Last of Us](” didn’t play around. “[Succession](” left a legacy. “[Queen Charlotte](” ruled, and “[The Crown](” ended its reign. Speaking of what’s on Netflix, [password sharing]( largely became a thing of the past. On the big screen, Halle Bailey took us [under the sea](, and [Timothée Chalamet]( became a chocolatier. Meanwhile, Hollywood [writers and actors]( shook up the industry. In style…Hailey Bieber strutted as a [nepo baby]( in a red dress. [Justin Bieber]( didn’t. People wore [big red cartoon boots](. Plus, [Harry Styles]( and [SBF]( got [haircuts]( that created lots of buzz. In sports…[Megan Rapinoe]( kicked it into retirement. As did [Tom Brady](…again. But [Simone Biles]( came back beaming. Spain [won]( its first Women’s World Cup. Shohei Ohtani [scored big]( off the field. And Aaron Rodgers’ [injury]( had everyone wondering if the NY Jets really are cursed. That was a lot, but we’re not done yet.
