2024 has been, to put it lightly, a wild ride.
Brat summer came and went, replaced by a “Wicked” fall and so many look-alike contests it’s a wonder we didn’t run out of celebrities.
Bennifer divorced, Moo Deng dazzled fans, and Taylor and Travis shared a Super Bowl smooch seen ’round the world. Drake and Kendrick dissed each other again ...and again.. and again.
It may well be impossible to draw a common thread through all of it. But if you are what you listen to, this year we were suckers for a female lead, country-curious and, as always, Taylor Swift-obsessed.
So before the sun sets on 2024, here’s the music that defined the country − and the world − over the past 12 months.
