This past year was full of pop culture phenomenons that I would never have seen coming: the unlikely couple of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, the “Barbenheimer” summer, and Rihanna debuting her second pregnancy while performing the halftime show for the LVII Super Bowl (in midair might I add!). Because of all these jaw-dropping moments in 2023, I know that anything can happen in 2024. With that being said, here is a list of a few predictions I have for shocking pop culture moments in 2024:
