It was a big year for Taylor Swift, for Deadpool & Wolverine, for the singing witches of Wicked, and for the fans who turned out to make them some of the top hits of 2024. The PEOPLE Yearbook re-animates the most memorable moments and stories in the worlds of entertainment, style, royals, sports, and news. This photo-filled keepsake edition touches on the unprecedented U.S. election, the thrill-filled summer Olympics, our global obsession with a tiny Thai hippo named Moo Deng, and the resilience of the British royal family in the face of both King Charles’s and Princess Kate’s cancer diagnoses. Plus, those we lost: saying farewell to Shannen Doherty, Liam Payne, Bob Newhart, James Earl Jones, Maggie Smith, and more unforgettable legends.
