2025 will be over soon, and a lot has happened. It is time to count down some of the top and most memorable moments from 2025.
January was full of new beginnings and preparation for the year to come. Everyone had their resolutions and was excited to see what 2025 was going to bring. Some big moments in January included January 7th, when major wildfires blazed through California, destroying homes and land in their path. They lasted about a month, with the fires fully contained by the 31st. January 19th was when TikTok shut down for a day, and people absolutely lost their minds.
February kicked off with Beyoncé winning Album of the Year at the Grammys on February 2nd. Then, on the 9th, the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40–22 at the 59th Super Bowl. On the same day, Kendrick Lamar performed during the halftime show, with appearances from people such as Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams.
March was a pretty quiet month, and nothing super out of the ordinary happened.
April started with Katy Perry and her group of six women going to space for their 11-minute trip. On the 21st, Pope Francis passed away.
