A number of shoppers around the UK have complained after finding Easter eggs on supermarket shelves in December. Easter Sunday is four months away, falling on April 20 in 2025 but some supermarkets already have seasonal stock out on their shelves. Chocolate eggs and hot cross buns have already been spotted for sale in shops including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda. As reported by Sky News , Gary Evans, 66, from Margate, shared a picture of Creme Eggs on display at his local Morrisons on Boxing Day. I’m a very liberal person but seeing Morrisons selling #Easter eggs right after #Christmas is where I draw the line 🥲 pic.twitter.com/RZR4gsvanx "I just think it's crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... [there's] something quite frantic about it," he said. Meanwhile, Joseph Robinson, saw themed Kit-Kat and Kinder Surprise products at his local Morrisons in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday evening (December 27). He said: "It's funny as they've not even managed to shift the Christmas chocolates off the shelves yet and they're already stocking for Easter. "I wish that supermarkets weren't so blatantly consumerist-driven and would actually allow customers and staff a time to decompress during the Christmas period."

Jesus hasn’t even been born yet". Another added: "I’m a very liberal person but seeing Morrisons selling #Easter eggs right after #Christmas is where I draw the line". In an alternative view, marketing consultant Andrew Wallis, 54, admitted he was surprised to see Easter eggs in the Co-op in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire. However, he added it also illustrates "forward-thinking" from big businesses. Recommended reading: He explained: "It made me reflect on how big brands are always thinking ahead and planning early. "My message to retailers would be: while planning ahead is important, it's also essential to be mindful of consumer sentiment. "Some might feel it's too early for seasonal products like this but others might see it as a sign of forward-thinking. Striking the right balance is key to keeping customers happy."With so many constant releases in Latin music , it can sometimes feel hard to keep up — but lots of songs rose from the din and stood out this year. Some of the best ones were new inventions (take, for example, a style Dominican rising star Letón Pé coined “demvogue”) or unexpected collaborations (no one saw Los Ángeles Azules and Emilia teaming up!) Others, like Luisa Almaguer’s “Un Día Nos Vamos a Morir,” worked best when artists showed their vulnerable side. Here’s what we loved and kept playing in 2024. San Pedro Bonfim’s latest LP Corazón de Guagua is an ambitious study in Andean songwriting traditions and spoken word theatrics, where the fluttering title track stands out as a paean to the disarming power of love. But while the Ecuadorian troubadour concedes to romance, his affections extend to territory and ancestry, drawing parallels with the delicate eco-diversity of South America and weaving percussive samba nods to his family’s Brazilian origins. — R.V. “Igual Que un Ángel,” Kali Uchis’ turn toward dreamy disco pop, was a surprise even for an artist who’s down to experiment with most sounds and genres. She practically coos the lyrics, about a woman owning her autonomy, juxtaposing the strength of the message with an air-light touch. Then there’s another unexpected moment: Mexican crooner Peso Pluma slides in for a verse, his gravelly voice suddenly soft and silk-smooth. Their quick chemistry might be why the song made the Top 10 of Billboard‘s Global 200 earlier this year. —J.L. Latin dreampop had a big moment in 2024, and indie artists like csndra are a huge part of why. The Atalnta-based singer of Puerto Rican roots released her debut EP, Lovers Club, Vol. I , this year and its lead single “cuida” quickly became a fan favorite. Her airy singing, coupled with the mellow production and charming puppy love lyrics, transport you to a simpler time when scribbling your crushes’ name a hundred times over in a notebook was reasonable. And after hearing the song enough, you might ask yourself why something so wholesome was left in the past. — J.A. Rauw Alejandro’s new LP, Cosa Nuestra , is a treasure trove of songs that could make this list. But “Tú Con Él,” his cover of the Frankie Ruiz salsa classic, stands out as one that checks all the marks: it exemplifies his album’s stated goal of channeling old school Latin culture, it gives him an opportunity to present his range in an undeniable way, and it can attract reggaeton agnostics who still resist the idea that these artists are genuinely talented. It’s a passionate statement track that doubles as an early victory lap, and he earns all of it. — J.A. Over the last few years, Mexican cumbia legends Los Ángeles Azules have strengthened the impact of their cumbias sonideras by fusing their traditional roots with modern pop productions and lyrics while tapping artists of the moment. This year, Argentine star Emilia joined the cumbia group on “Perdonartre, ¿Para Qué?,” delivering the sass of her own pop sound on the electro-cumbia: “Forgive you? For what? So that you can fail me again?” she questions. “No, thank you.” After corridos took over in 2023, could 2025 be the year of the cumbia? — T.M. This year, Venezuelan pop and alt-R&B singer Irepelusa released her sophomore album, IRENE ALEJANDRA . She called it her most personal work yet, and songs like “TE AMÉ TEMPRANOp-k8u” show why. Teaming up with Colombian artist Esteman, they trade verses, waxing about the anxiety of suspecting something is wrong in a relationship and the dread that comes with that knowledge. Wrapped in a lively and danceable pop beat, the earnest lyrics take on a new color that fends off melancholy. It’s a fantastic use of pop as a medium, and a showcase of one of LatAm’s underrated best at it. — J.A. Boza has long stood out as one of Panama’s most melodic crooners, and he had a chance to smooth his suave image out even more on the playful “Orion,” which took over the charts this year. Partway through the track, Elena Rose — the singer and songwriter who has become a secret weapon in the Latin music industry — chimes in with crystal clear vocals, and the two artists basically just charm listeners for four straight minutes with their chemistry and easygoing energy. — J.L. Shakira channeling her Nineties rock-era energy was not on anyone’s 2024 bingo card, but we sure as hell will take it. On the track off her 12th LP, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran , the Colombian singer taps into the angsty soundscapes of her classic 1998 album, Dónde Están los Ladrones? , for an exquisite pop-rock moment. Shakira proclaims, “Life’s a bitch,” before using this grungy cut to essentially say “Fuck it” and remind herself and her listeners to seize the moment, no matter how, where, or when . — M.G. ‘Uwu^^’ happened almost by accident. Rusowsky mistakenly sent BB Trickz a sparse, hazy track that he wasn’t even thinking about releasing. BB Trickz loved it and helped develop the song, making use of Rusowsky’s muted vocals and a quieter side of her rap abilities. The song ended up being one of this winter’s most heart-bruised moments, tracing two people getting locked into a complicated love affair. (“And I’m spending hours with her/While my girlfriend is crying,” Rusowsky sings.) BB Tricks steps in with a verse about how much the whole thing sucks: “And it hurts a lot more because you’re my friend/Don’t talk to me about love, my heart is cold.” — J.L. Myke Towers and Bad Bunny have been frequent collaborators throughout the years. But “Adivino” is their most unexpected link-up yet, starting with the song’s dark, dubby production and thudding electronic beat, thanks to work from producers Cruz, Eiby, Finesse, Jarom Su’a, and Tainy. From there, Bad Bunny and Towers keep things unpredictable: Bad Bunny charges in and throws some cryptic lines about an old relationship that instantly got the internet wondering who he was referring to, while Towers goes hard on his verses, even rapping a few lines in English. — J.L. Alex Anwandter puts a spotlight on pure desire on the dancefloor. “Give me what you want,” he pleads on “Gaucho.” “Can’t you see I’m desperate?” The Chilean pop prince sings to his masculine horseman muse on the Eighties disco-house-inspired track, juxtaposing the rough image of the man he loves with the song’s bright, electric melodies. “I know you have a secret you want to tell me,” he insists. “At dusk you prefer me.” — T.M. “Tu Boda” delivered some of the most colorful lyrics in música mexicana this year. On the track, Óscar Maydon and JOP’s heartbreak is so intense that they’re thinking of going Romeo & Juliet on a girl who’s ready to marry someone else. Written by El Chachito, Maydon sings, “One hundred guests, and everyone will have to watch that our love will go to the afterlife.” Backed by melancholic sierreño requinto strums, Maydón and Fuerza Régida come to terms with the lost love by the end of the relatable song. For Maydon, “Tu Boda” continued his epic 2024 filled with star-building collabs. — T.M. For Quevedo, his album Buenas Noches was meant to capture late-night celebrations and late-night thoughts and longing, and no song on the LP did that as well as the title track. Easily one of the best songs in his catalogue, it’s a tender rumination on life before fame and how Quevedo feels like he wants to be two places at once: He dreams of being back home on the Canary Islands with someone who means a lot to him, but his mind also races as he thinks about the demands of his career. All of it is down over a sparkling beat that doesn’t fall into melodrama; in fact, the contrast of how upbeat the song is makes it even more poignant. — J.L. On “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” — which translates to “If I Had Met You Before” — Karol G pays homage to the Dominican Republic in an uplifting, wistful merengue. Inspired by her time in the country while recording last year’s Mañana Sera Bonito, the song talks about a deeply personal missed connection, with the retrospection of someone who came out on the other side with a newfound maturity. “What would have been, if I had met you before?” she asks, as the song builds layer by layer, culminating in a joyous and communal refrain. — R.C. Hedonism made a glorious return in 2024 — and leading the charge was Argentine club queen Six Sex with the deliciously horny Satisfire EP. Its strobing centerpiece, “4 NoviosS,” is a King Doudou-produced slice of nasty girl techno about using and losing suitors at the bat of a lash. But it was the music video’s spin class turned rave that sent the track stratospheric, delivering sweaty, glitter-spackled camp for a new generation of revelers. — R.V. Latino artists have always been overlooked in classic soul, R&B, and funk but recent acts like The Sinseers and Los Yesterdays have made significant inroads with fans. 54 Ultra’s silky “Heaven Knows” snuck in under the radar this summer and wowed listeners with its authentic sound and undeniably catchy Spanglish lyrics. The son of Dominican and Puerto Rican parents, 54 Ultra stands out with his smooth-voiced vocals, inviting old and young listeners to embrace the timeless energy of the track. The accompanying music video makes it clear what era he’s aiming for, and he hits the mark perfectly. — J.A Venezuelan acts Rawayana and Akapellah doubled their star power by teaming up for the vibrant “Veneka,” a song that went viral almost as soon as a tiny snippet was shared on social media. The track puts Akapellah’s smooth flow on display while deploying the ultra-colorful sound that’s made Rawayana a breakout favorite recently. The song keeps things lighthearted by celebrating Venezuelan women, but its upbeat message of pride and beauty became all the more poignant after a complex and difficult year in the country. — J.L. 2024 ushered an exciting new age of Dominican electronic music with boundary pushing gems of techno , ambient , and jerk . But producer and animator Adriel.sfx managed to cut through the stylized noise with a series of singles colliding future funk nostalgia and glitchy asymmetry. “Euforia Checkpoint” is a throbbing, psychedelic Internet collage that manipulates jittery breakbeats and anime samples, defying SoundCloud hashtags while banking on pure, unabashed fun. — R.V. Letón Pé has been one of the most imaginative rising stars out of the Dominican Republic, and “¿Cuándo Se Va’ir El Calor?” is another showstopper that introduces the world to a sound she coined “demvogue.” The moniker refers mixing the rapid-fire rhythm of dembow and with flashy club flourishes for a high-octane summer anthem that captured how stifling delicious insanely hot days can feel. “I felt the need to do it on my own terms,” Pé told Rolling Stone . “Being such a fan of Nineties house music, we decided to intersect these two, creating a fresh sound that represents my culture and my influences.” — J.L. Villano Antillano, or Villana to her diehard fans, broke barriers with her hit debut album La Sustancia X in 2022. This year, she came back for more and put out the even better LP Miss Misogyny . She wastes no time in reminding people who she is, dropping the crackling boast rap “1-800-CRISTAL” out of the gate. Her furious style hasn’t missed a step, nor has her wealthy encyclopedic knowledge which she weaponizes with aplomb, taking references like forgotten Nick Cage movies and Manifest Destiny and lyrically wielding them against her doubters in the savage way she knows best. — J.A. Natanael Cano and Óscar Maydon go pop, playing lover boys for the girls on “Madonna” without straying too far from their signatuere lifestyle-flaunting lyrics. “You tamed my animal instincts,” sings Maydon in the chorus dedicated to a “güerita” who looks like Madonna. “How many Rolexes do you need me to buy you for just a kiss?” The pair go to lengths to please their love interest with luxuries, as they take a note from other stars in the genre by naming their song after a pop icon. — T.M. Colombian pop singer Ela Taubert had a breakout year, scoring the 2024 Latin Grammy for Best New Artist. Part of the reason she attracted so much attention has to do with her instantly catchy, heart-on-her-sleeve songwriting, and ‘Para Que?’ is a solid example. The kiss-off to an ex who wants her back borrows folk and pop-rock sounds and showcases just why so many people have been drawn to her confessional lyricism and bubbly production style. — J.L. On “Un Día Nos Vamos a Morir,” Mexican singer-songwriter Luisa Almaguer unspools the existential dread that hangs over a romance on its last legs. A standout from her emotionally harrowing LP, Weyes , the song eloquently captures fear of finality, rehashing sensual memories over a mercurial canvas of acoustic strums and rapturous alt-rock. The result is a furious rejection of loneliness, and a universal plea for more time with those we love. — R.V. Argentine rap auteur Dillom is nothing if not brazen, and on “Buenos Tiempos,” the definitive banger from his conceptual opus Por Cesárea , a night of drug-addled exploits sends his protagonist spiraling into oblivion. In the song’s uproarious chorus, he leaps from sniffing poppers with the gays to fantasizing about the death of President Javier Milei, plunging ever further into madness and grabbing ass on the way down. — R.V. FloyyMenor and Cris MJ’s low-fi reggaeton hit has been everywhere this summer. The track found an audience on TikTok first and then started winding up the charts at the start of the year. Part of its appeal lies in its stars: FloyyMenor was a mysterious, hard-to-pin-down Chilean artist whose face and identity had been hidden from the internet before he teamed up with fellow Chilean and rising star Cris MJ. Now that the song has blown up, it’s spent the past few months ka-booming out of cars and shadowy clubs across the globe. — J.L.apk bearfish casino x8 speeder 。

The announcement on Saturday came after health officials said Israeli troops stormed the hospital on Friday and forced many staff and patients outside and told them to strip in winter weather. Israel’s army didn’t respond to questions about the hospital director. It denied it had entered or set fire to the complex but acknowledged it had ordered people outside. It said it was conducting operations against Hamas in the area. The military repeated claims that Hamas militants operate inside Kamal Adwan Hospital, which officials there have denied. Israeli airstrikes hit a Yemen airport as a jet with hundreds onboard was landing, UN official says UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The top U.N. humanitarian official in Yemen says Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s main airport as a civilian Airbus 320 with hundreds of passengers on board was landing this week. He says a U.N. delegation led by the head of the World Health Organization was waiting to leave on Thursday as two Israeli airstrikes hit the airport in the capital of Sanaa. Julien Harneis told U.N. reporters on Friday that the most frightening thing about the airstrikes wasn’t the effect on him and about 15 others in the VIP lounge at the international airport. Rather, it was the destruction of the airport control tower as a Yemenia Airways plane was taxiing in after touching down. Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can weigh in after he takes office President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. Trump's request Friday came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court. Oral arguments are scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The brief said Trump opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” Bloodied Ukrainian troops risk losing more hard-won land in Kursk to Russia KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Five months after their shock offensive into Russia, Ukrainian troops are bloodied by daily combat losses and demoralized by the rising risk of defeat in Kursk. Some want to stay in the region at all costs. Others question the value of having gone in at all. Battles are so intense that commanders are unable to evacuate their dead. Lags in communication and poorly timed operations have cost lives and commanders say they have little way to counterattack. The overstretched Ukrainians have lost more then 40% of the territory they won in the lightning incursion that seized much of Kursk in August. US to send $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine, pushing to get aid out before Biden leaves office WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the United States is expected to announce it will send another $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. It's part of a push by the Biden administration to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20. Officials say the large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds. The officials say they expect the announcement will be made on Monday. They spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's political coalition WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in the president-elect’s political movement into public display. The argument previews fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — that is, wealthy members of the tech world who want more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. Canadian Cabinet ministers meet with Trump's nominee for commerce secretary in bid to avoid tariffs TORONTO (AP) — Two top Canadian Cabinet ministers have met with President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary at Mar-a-Lago as Canada tries to avoid sweeping tariffs when Trump takes office. New Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly met with Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, as well as North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department. The meeting was a follow up to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month. Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs if Canada does not stem what he calls a flow of migrants and fentanyl into the United States. Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who instituted economic reforms, cremated in New Delhi NEW DELHI (AP) — Manmohan Singh, the former Indian prime minister widely regarded as the architect of the country’s economic reform program, has been cremated after a state funeral. The veteran leader, who was also credited for a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, died late Thursday at age 92. Singh’s body was taken Saturday to the headquarters of his Congress party in New Delhi, where party leaders and activists paid tributes to him and chanted “Manmohan Singh lives forever.” Later, his body was transported to a crematorium ground for his last rites as soldiers beat drums. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh was prime minister for 10 years until 2014. Winning ticket for $1.22 billion lottery jackpot sold in California, Mega Millions says ATLANTA (AP) — At least one Mega Millions player has plenty of dough to ring in the New Year after drawing the winning number. After three months without anyone winning the top prize in the lottery, a ticket worth an estimated $1.22 billion was sold in California for the drawing Friday night. The winning ticket matched the white balls 3, 7, 37, 49, 55 and the gold Mega Ball 6. The identity of the winner or winners was not immediately known. The estimated jackpot was the fifth-highest ever for Mega Millions. The total amount of the jackpot would only be distributed to a winner who chooses an annuity paid over 29 years. Nearly all grand prize winners opt to take a cash payout, which for Friday night’s drawing is an estimated $549.7 million. A 9th telecoms firm has been hit by a massive Chinese espionage campaign, the White House says WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official says a ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies, as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, a deputy national security adviser, said Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks.The construction of the new expressway is a testament to Jiangxi's commitment to sustainable development and modernization.

The importance of a quality left winger in modern football cannot be overstated. A player who can dribble past defenders, create goal-scoring opportunities, and deliver accurate crosses can add a new dimension to a team's attacking play. With Arsenal's style of play relying heavily on fluid movement and quick transitions, having a dynamic left winger could unlock their full potential going forward.Starting next month, Tencent Video will limit the number of devices that can stream VIP content simultaneously under one account to three.

The Miami Dolphins have set themselves up for a potential playoff push. After a 2-6 start and missing Tua Tagovailoa for a few weeks, the Dolphins looked dead in the water. They've flipped the narrative, winning their last two games against the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders . They still have some work to do if they want to reach the postseason, as Miami's currently slated as the No.9 seed in the AFC. The 5-6 Indianapolis Colts and 6-5 Denver Broncos stand in their way of capturing the final playoff spot. The Dolphins could very well sneak into the playoffs if their final seven games go as planned. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler believes that the Dolphins are the team that can make the most noise if they reach the playoffs. The Dolphins have woken up from a 2-6 slumber with back-to-back wins, having scored 111 points since Tua Tagovailoa returned from a concussion four weeks ago. The roster is talented enough to make a run, with playmakers galore on offense and a defense finding its rhythm. The remaining schedule is manageable, too: Houston and Green Bay are tough to beat, but the Jets (who are on the schedule twice), Patriots and Browns have proven to be the opposite. San Francisco in Week 16 seems like a winnable game based on the 49ers' current trajectory. They won't be able to compete with the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East, but the Dolphins look like a team on a mission to reach the playoffs by any means possible.

And your little pygmy hippo, too! Forgive us the shameless attempt to link the fantasy hit “Wicked” to the delightful Moo Deng . But, hear us out — there’s something the two have in common as the year draws to a close. Escapism. Whether we found it on the yellow brick road, or in videos from a Thailand zoo, or perhaps in unlikely Olympic heroes , we gravitated toward fantasy and feel-good pop culture moments this year. There were new trends, as always. “Brat summer” became a thing, as did “demure, mindful.” And for some inexplicable reason, we became obsessed with celebrity lookalike contests. There were breakups — Bennifer is, again, a thing of the past — and reunions: Oasis, please try to stay together for the tour. Yet some things stayed, remarkably, the same: Taylor Swift and Beyoncé kept on breaking records and making history. So, after a year where much changed but some things held steady, here’s our annual, very selective trip down pop culture memory lane: Lily Gladstone poses in the press room Jan. 7 with the award for best performance by an actress in a motion picture, drama for "Killers of the Flower Moon" at the 81st Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. It starts as a cheery tweet from a beloved “Sesame Street” figure: “ ELMO is just checking in! How is everybody doing?” The answers hint at something deeper and more worrisome. “Not great, Elmo. Not great,” says one milder reply. Doing much better is the viral phenomenon called “BARBENHEIMER,” which makes its awards season debut at the GOLDEN GLOBES . But perhaps the most poignant moment comes from neither film: LILY GLADSTONE , first Indigenous winner of best actress in a drama for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” begins her remarks in the language of her tribe, Blackfeet Nation. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) kisses Taylor Swift on Feb. 11 after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime during the NFL Super Bowl 58 football game in Las Vegas. Valentine’s Day — a perfect time to settle into a sweet love saga via TikTok. Only that’s not quite what we get with “Who TF Did I Marry?,” REESA TEESA ’s depressing, fascinating, 50-part account of her disastrous marriage with a man who lied about absolutely everything. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a single week that encapsulates peak SWIFT cultural dominance , try this: she begins with the Grammys in Los Angeles (becoming the first artist to win album of the year four times AND announcing a new album), then heads to Tokyo for four tour dates, then jets back just in time for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas — where she shares a passionate smooch with boyfriend TRAVIS KELCE on the field of victory. Ryan Gosling performs the song "I'm Just Ken" from the movie "Barbie" on March 10 during the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. “What was I made for?” BILLIE EILISH sings at the OSCARS, channeling BARBIE . And what was KEN made for? Not entirely clear — but it's clear RYAN GOSLING was made to play him. His singalong version of “I’m Just Ken” is one of the most entertaining Oscar musical moments in years. Still, Christopher Nolan's “OPPENHEIMER” prevails, a rare case of the top prize going to a blockbuster studio film. Will it happen again in 2025? CYNTHIA ERIVO and ARIANA GRANDE sure hope so; as presenters, they make a sly reference to their upcoming juggernaut, “WICKED.” Speaking of marketing, people are obsessed with that bizarre “DUNE” popcorn bucket. Beyonce And BEYONCÉ carves her space in country music with “Act II: Cowboy Carter,” which will make her the first Black woman to top the Billboard country chart. Taylor Swift performs June 21 at Wembley Stadium in London as part of her Eras Tour. Tennis, anyone? The game’s been around for centuries, but it’s having a cultural moment right now, helped mightily by “CHALLENGERS,” the sweaty romance triangle starring ZENDAYA, MIKE FAIST and JOSH O'CONNOR (40-love? More like 40-sex.) Elsewhere, a new era dawns: At midnight, SWIFT drops “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT," then drops another 15 songs two hours later. The fascinating and disturbing “BABY REINDEER,” the story of a struggling comedian’s extended encounter with a stalker, debuts on Netflix. Ben Affleck, left, and Jennifer Lopez arrive Feb. 13 at the premiere of "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story" at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. It’s MET GALA time — or as it's known in 2024, another early marketing moment for “WICKED.” ERIVO and GRANDE make fashion waves on the carpet and then musical ones at dinner, with a soulful performance of “When You Believe.” If the “Wicked” tour is in full force, another one stops in its tracks: JENNIFER LOPEZ cancels her summer tour amid reports of both poor ticket sales and trouble in her marriage to BEN AFFLECK . It’s been an eventful year for J.Lo, who's released an album and movie called “THIS IS ME ... NOW" — both reflections on her renewed love with Affleck. Welcome to BRAT SUMMER ! CHARLI XCX releases her hit “Brat” album , with its lime green cover, and launches a thousand memes. Collins Dictionary defines “brat,” its word of the year, as “characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.” At the celeb-heavy SWIFT shows in London, we see PRINCE WILLIAM shaking it off, which is either charming or cringe, you decide. Even better: KELCE dons a top hat and tux and performs for one night. At another stadium across the pond, METS infielder JOSE IGLESIAS delights the crowd with his cheery number “OMG.” Stephen Nedoroscik is introduced June 29 at the United States Gymnastics Olympic Trials in Minneapolis. Bonjour, it’s OLYMPICS time! In Paris! An audacious opening ceremony along the Seine is punctuated by a fabulous CELINE DION , perched on the EIFFEL TOWER , singing her heart out — in the rain, too. Controversy swirls over a scene critics feel mocks Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” (organizers say it does not). Olympic stars are born — including French swimming superstar LEON MARCHAND , rugby player ILONA MAHER , and bespectacled “Pommel Horse Guy” gymnast STEPHEN NEDOROSCIK , who nets two bronze medals and comparisons to Clark Kent. Baby pigmy hippo Moo Deng plays with a zookeeper Sept. 19 in the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province, Thailand. Also capturing hearts: yep, MOO DENG , born this month. Her name means “bouncy pork.” Australia's Rachael Gunn, known as B-Girl Raygun, competes Aug. 9 during the Round Robin Battle at the breaking competition at La Concorde Urban Park at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. This is them ... now: BENNIFER is no more. After two decades, two engagements and two weddings, J.Lo files for divorce. One union dissolves, another returns: OASIS announces a reunion tour. Everyone seems to want to get in on TikToker JOOLS LEBRON 's “ DEMURE, MINDFUL ” act — even the WHITE HOUSE press team. Back at the Olympics, in the new sport of breaking, we meet Australia’s RAYGUN , arguably neither demure nor mindful with her “kangaroo” move. Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani brings his dog Decoy to the mound Aug. 28 before Decoy delivered the ceremonial first pitch prior to a baseball game between the Dodgers and the Baltimore Orioles in Los Angeles. Cute animal alert: SHOHEI OHTANI ’s perky pooch DECOY does a great “first pitch” in his Major League Baseball debut. Chappell Roan performs "Good Luck, Babe" on Sept. 11 during the MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. One of the year’s biggest breakout artists, CHAPPELL ROAN , withdraws from a music festival after speaking out about frightening fan interactions. And more on the price of fame: In an excruciating moment, “Bachelorette” JENN TRAN , the franchise’s first Asian American lead, is forced to sit through a painful viewing of her proposal to her chosen suitor, after tearfully explaining how he’d later dumped her over the phone. Tran is keeping busy though — she’s announced as part of the new “Dancing with the Stars” lineup. Also on the list: rugby player Maher, and Pommel Horse Guy! Also, ANNA SOROKIN , dancing with an ankle monitor. Online fandom, meanwhile, is shaken when X is temporarily suspended in Brazil and celebrity stan accounts post tearful farewells, revealing to many across the globe that their favorite accounts are run by Brazilians. Miles Mitchell, 21, wins of the Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest Oct. 27 near Washington Square Park in New York. “Dune” Chalamets! “Wonka” Chalamets! Thousands gather in Manhattan for a TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET lookalike contest, and things really get interesting when Chalamet himself shows up. He doesn’t enter the contest, though, and with his mustache, he may not even have won. The trend continues with contests for JEREMY ALLEN WHITE, ZAYN MALIK and — in a very Washington version — Kennedy scion JACK SCHLOSSBERG , who's been gathering a following with some interesting social media posts. New York Liberty Kennedy Burke dances with the mascot, Ellie the Elephant, during an Oct. 24 ceremony after a parade in honor of the Liberty's WNBA basketball championship at City Hall in New York. Turning to basketball, who’s that dancing with USHER ? Why it’s ELLIE THE ELEPHANT , the now-viral NEW YORK LIBERTY mascot. Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, right, appears Nov. 2 with Maya Rudolph on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in New York. MAYA RUDOLPH does a pretty good KAMALA HARRIS laugh on “Saturday Night Live,” but you know who does it better? HARRIS herself. The Democratic candidate makes a surprise cameo three days before the U.S. presidential election, following in the footsteps of HILLARY CLINTON , SARAH PALIN and others. Elsewhere in television, Bravo announces that “VANDERPUMP RULES,” the Emmy-nominated reality show that has lived through countless scandals, is entirely recasting its 12th season — apart from namesake LISA VANDERPUMP . As for MOO DENG , she doesn't have her own TV series yet, but our favorite pygmy hippo is generating plenty of merch . And THAT brings us back to ... Ariana Grande, left, and Cynthia Erivo pose for photographers Nov. 11 prior to the premiere of "Wicked" at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. “WICKED” ! Director JON M. CHU ’s emerald-hued fantasy remains very very popular, to quote one of its buzzy show tunes, dancing through life and defying gravity at the multiplex. Moviegoers also come for “GLADIATOR II” and, in a veritable tidal wave, Disney's “MOANA 2,” which beckons us back to the seas of Oceania. Once again, 2024 seems to be telling us: Give people some whimsy, a place to escape, maybe some catchy tunes — and no one knows how far they’ll go. The stories and images that defined 2024.
