I couldn’t pinpoint just one Miley outburst as a top event, so everything related to her can be encompassed together—from surprising the world when she cut all her hair off, to shocking fans with her risqué VMA performance.

3. Prince William and Princess Kate give birth to royal baby
The birth of the royal baby, Prince of Cambridge George Alexander Louis, was one of the most talked about births of the year, and this was undoubtedly due to the fact that there now is a new prince on the market to one day make some girl’s dream of becoming a princess come true.

7. NSYNC reunites
It was every teenage girl’s dream; the band members of NSYNC came out to join the only relevant member, Justin Timberlake, on stage during his VMA performance. Nothing better than a bunch of middle-aged men singing “Bye Bye Bye” in too-tight suits.

9. Beyoncé lip-sings the national anthem
Who would have ever thought that Queen B could do anything wrong? No one—until she apparently lip sang at President Barack Obama’s inauguration. But even still, fans seemed to successfully justify this act, so Queen B reigns on.
10. Corey Monteith passes away
And finally on a more serious note, the passing of this Glee star after a drug overdose shook the lives of not only “Gleeks” worldwide, but also his on and off screen girlfriend Lea Michele. Though the show continues to air today, it will never be the same without its quarterback.
