See... 2016 wasn't a complete mess was it?
2016 will go down in history as one of the worst years of all time, but lest we forget these incredible moments that had us all screaming "YAAAAS!" at the top of our lungs throughout the year.
1) When Panic! At The Disco dropped their fifth studio album and it became the band's first number one album.

It was also voted the Best Album of 2016 in the PopBuzz Fan Awards. Thank you for your services to bangers and bops, Brendon.
2) When Amber Rose scalped Kanye West with the clapback of the century.

Remember when Kanye went on his 17 point rant about Wiz Khalifa and his cool pants? Somewhere in the cross fire, he insulted his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, which proved to be a big ol' mistake.
3) When Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem at the Superbowl.

And in that moment, everyone united for a few seconds for the world's longest "YAAAAAAAASSSSSSS QUEEEEENNNNNN!"
4) Whenever Beyonce manifested before our eyes.

From the HBO Lemonade special to the Superbowl, and from the VMAs to her record breaking world tour, wherever Beyonce went in 2016, we all collectively lost our sh*t. Side note: The daughter of Celestine turned 35 this year meaning she is now eligible for the Presidency.
5) When the cast of Friends, sans Matthew Perry, finally reunited.

We've never screamed YAAAAS so loudly in all our lives. We will go down with this ship.
11) Whenever Eleven was on screen during your binge-watch of Stranger Things.

When Stranger Things dropped on Netflix in July, neither you nor we expected it to be a) as good as it was, b) an international hit or c) to fall in love with 5 children who we only just met. Millie Bobby Brown took us to church and back again.
12) When 'Heathens' leaked.

The Clique might have been about to get sent to jail for the leak of the Suicide Squad soundtrack number but at least they would have all been screaming "YAAASSSSSSSS" while they were dragged into the cell. #WorthIt
13) When Kanye premiered the video for 'Fade' starring Teyana Taylor.

The best thing Kanye did in 2016 was give us this video and formally introduce the world to the fierce AF Teyana Taylor. Y-A-A-A-S-S.
14) When Ariana Grande confirmed the true meaning to 'Side To Side'.
Jack just explained that the song Side to Side is about getting railed so hard you can't walk. SO MANY EMOTIONZ.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) August 30, 2016
One of the many things Lena Dunham realised this year was the true meaning of 'Side To Side'. Ariana replied to her tweet with four emojis and ended our innocence forever. *whispers a confused yaaaaas..?*
15) When Sarah Paulson finally won her first Emmy.
