Every Crazy Pop Culture Event You Forgot Happened in 2023 – E! Online

Ahem, Alexa, play “My Favorite Things” because we’ve got some recapping to do. 

Prince Harry‘s candor and Prince Louis‘ faces. Phoenix and London and Rocky and Riot. Swift and her squad making sports interesting. (Relax, dads, Brads and Chads, we’re joking.) These are a few of our favorite things that took place in 2023. 

And if you kinda forgot that all of this happened this year, well, we’re here to help. 

While there’s been a lot of talk as of late about Taylor Swift dating the boy on the football team (again, kidding, all respect to Catching Kelce legend Travis Kelce), it’s easy to forget that we were enchanted by a whole slew of other stories before the power couple teamed up. 

Like the time a cockroach pulled focus from Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez and every other immaculately dressed star on the Met Gala steps. Or when Rihanna won the Super Bowl by not just playing a 13-minute medley of her favorite hits, but also using the opportunity to let us know that she was three months pregnant while doing so.
