2025 had plenty of memorable moments. Beyoncé finally won album of the year at the 67th annual Grammys for her masterful Cowboy Carter. Kendrick Lamar gave an incredibly memorable – and meme-generating – Super Bowl performance, and cleaned up at the Grammys with “Not Like Us” only a week before. Lady Gaga caused a lot of Mayhem. The KPop Demon Hunters dominated with HUNTR/X’s “Golden.” Justin Bieber surprise-dropped Swag. Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited for an Oasis tour. By releasing I’m the Problem, Morgan Wallen hit new highs. Alex Warren made a not-so-“Ordinary” entrance into pop superstardom. The general existence of Taylor Swift – from reclaiming her masters to The Life of a Showgirl’s record-breaking premiere. (Oh and of course her engagement.) Rosalía stunned with Lux. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” became the longest-running No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

And the list goes on from there.

But with the new year comes new focus on what comes next in the world of music. There’s a lot to be hopeful for – especially with some of our favorites in mind. Will Olivia Rodrigo drop her third studio full-length? What is going on with Swift’s feature directorial film? Who will Bad Bunny bring out during the Super Bowl halftime show – if anyone? What surprises are in store that we can’t even predict? Are any reunions happening that we don’t know about yet?
