Most Trending Celebrities of 2022
Here is a list of the most famous people of 2022, along with the stories and accomplishments that have made them famous so far (in no particular order).
Billie Eilish
In 2022, you can’t turn on the radio without hearing one of this artist’s songs. Billie Eilish might be one of the most popular and talked-about musicians of the year. At only 20, the young starlet has already done more than most famous singers did in the past.
Billie has already won seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, two Guinness World Records, three MTV Video Music Awards, and three Brit Awards for her hit singles Bad Guy and All the Good Girls Go to Hell. In 2020, she got the chance to put out the soundtrack for the No Time to Die James Bond movie.
Billie usually doesn’t talk about her personal life, but she has been open about the fact that she has Tourette syndrome. She also loves Justin Bieber a lot, but who doesn’t?

Jennifer Lopez
Jenny from the block has changed a lot since she was young and lived in the Bronx. She has done everything from making hit singles to acting in movies to starting her own clothing line, accessories brand, and perfume line. She is also a permanent judge on American Idol and World of Dance.
The triple threat has shown that she can do whatever she wants to do. Her run in Las Vegas broke records, and her career just keeps getting better and better. J.Lo just made and starred in the movie “Marry Me,” sang at the Super Bowl in 2020, and will sing at Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.
Jennifer Lopez has been in a lot of relationships, and most recently, she got back together with an ex-boyfriend and married him. Her amazing body at 53 also motivates people all over the world, as does the fact that she can shine while being a mother to twins.

Justin Bieber
Scooter Braun and Usher found Justin on YouTube when he was 13 years old. Since then, Justin’s career has been crazy. Since then, the young superstar has had his share of ups and downs, from great music success (he was the youngest artist to have five no.1 US albums) to a tale bashing of bad, controversial press.
Even though Justin has sold more than 150 million records and is one of the best-selling musicians in the world, he was once called “the most hated person in the world.” His on-and-off relationship with Selena Gomez, erratic behaviour, and drug use led to depression, but in recent years, Justin has focused on his health, music, and arena tours.
His two most recent albums, Changes and Justice, and his quick marriage to supermodel Hailey Baldwin (who is now Mrs. Bieber) are his two biggest accomplishments in the past few years.

Dua has also won a number of important titles and awards in her short career. The star’s first album is one of the most-played albums on Spotify and has already won Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, and MTV Europe Music Awards. Her song “Don’t Start Now” was just called the most popular song by a woman in the U.S. in 2020.
Most of the time, people don’t talk about Dua’s personal life, but it’s well known that she dated Anwar Hadid, the younger brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid. In 2021, she was named one of the 100 Next most important people in the world by Time magazine.

His songs are perfect for wedding playlists, and the fact that he rarely shows up in public has made him one of the most loved and well-known people in 2022.
Ed Sheeran usually doesn’t talk about his personal life, but in 2019 it came out that he married his childhood friend and former high school classmate Cherry Seaborn, with whom he has since had two children.

Ariana Grande
The girl with the great voice started her career on Broadway when she was only 15 years old. After that, she did some work for TV before putting out her first album, Yours Truly. The album went to number one on the charts, and Ari won an AMA award for “Best New Artist.”
Since then, her song “Thank U, Next” has gone to number one, she’s been the main act at Coachella, and her song “Sweetener” won her first Grammy. Ariana is also one of the most streamed female artists on Spotify and Apple Music, and she is the most followed woman on Instagram (as of 2019). She came out with her first makeup line, r.e.m Beauty, in 2021.
Even though her career has been going well, our favourite Positions star has had some bad things happen in her personal life. Ari has admitted to having anxiety after the bombing at her Manchester concert in 2017, after one of her ex-boyfriends, Mac Miller, died, and after her breakup with Pete Davidson, which was made public. But in 2021, Ariana shocked everyone when she got married to her boyfriend Dalton Gomez.

Kim Kardashian
Does Kim Kardashian ever stop making news or breaking the internet? In fact, the celebrity world probably wouldn’t work or even exist if there weren’t always a controversial story about the Kardashians going around online.
Since Keeping Up With the Kardashians started, Kim’s popularity has been going up and up. She has shaken up the entertainment world by being involved in a well-known sex scandal, marrying Kanye West (and then divorcing him in 2020), and going through a horrible robbery. But these news stories have opened up many business opportunities for her.
Kim has made workout DVDs, a clothing line, a book, a mobile game, emojis, a perfume line, shapewear, and a KKW Beauty line. She also gives a lot of her time to charities and even helped Alice Johnson get out of jail. Since then, Kim has worked hard to become a good lawyer so she can help people like Alice.

Zendaya
Zendaya is one of the most popular stars of 2022 because of how talented and successful she is for only being 26 years old. Unlike some of the other people on this list, the young actress is loved all over the world because of her success in music and movies, not because of her private life, which is usually kept secret.
The star of Dune became famous as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up. Later, she became a Hollywood star after starring in the HBO drama Euphoria and winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the age of 22.
Zendaya has also been in recent Spider-Man movies, The Greatest Showman, and the new hit movie Dune. In 2021, when it was made public that she was dating her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, her personal life became very public.

Nicki Minaj
The Queen of Rap has been around for more than a decade. Since then, she has been in the news for famous beefs with other celebrities, dating other rappers, and, of course, building a successful career with her music and badass song lyrics.
Nicki Minaj has had more than 100 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 list. She has been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards but hasn’t won any, but she has won 12 BET awards.
The star has shown that she can act in Ice Age: Continental Drift, The Other Woman, and Barbershop: The Next Cut, which shows that she is a triple threat. She has also started many businesses, like her own mobile game app, wine, and a line of makeup with MAC.
Nicki and her husband, Kenneth Petty, had their first child in 2020. In 2021, however, her father was killed in a hit-and-run accident.

Lady Gaga
Since she became famous, Lady Gaga has shocked us with her outlandish clothes, which have ranged from meat dresses to egg incubators. The star isn’t afraid to give the entertainment world a crazy moment every now and then, like when she covered herself in blood on stage or made fun of pop icon Madonna.
But Lady Gaga’s creativity and amazing singing skills are what have really caught our attention over the years. Gaga has won 13 Grammys, so it’s hard to deny how talented she is. This gift was also shown in the movie A Star Is Born, in which she starred with Bradley Cooper and House of Gucci.
The Joanne star has her own merchandise, a line of perfume, and just recently, a line of cosmetics called Haus Laboratories. In 2020, she put out an album called Chromatica, and in 2021, she sang the National Anthem at Joe Biden’s inauguration. In 2021, Gaga was in the news when her dog walker was shot in Los Angeles and her dogs were stolen (but later returned).

Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner is well-known for being a member of the Kardashian family, changing her look all the time, and having a child at a young age. It’s no surprise that she’s one of the most famous people of our time. The reality TV star is killing it in the cosmetics business, and young women are always getting style ideas from her.
Kylie Jenner was named the World’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire at the age of 21. Many people don’t like the term “self-made,” but it’s hard not to see why she’s become so wealthy in just a few years. But in 2020, Forbes said that Kylie had forged tax documents to make it look like she was a billionaire.
Kylie wanted to get away from the stigma of being part of the Kardashian family, so she put her money into her own Lip Kit and merchandise empire, which doesn’t look like it will fall any time soon. She has even added a skincare line, a line of bikinis, and a line for babies to her business.

Tom Holland
Generation Z probably likes Tom Holland more than most other young actors, mostly because of his top role as Spider-Man in the MCU.
The young actor is also one of the most followed on Instagram, with over 60 million fans watching his every move.
In the summer of 2021, Tom was seen kissing Zendaya, who was also in Spider-Man. This made the news. The actor keeps his private life quiet other than that. What we do know about this famous person is that he is a British actor who started out as the lead in Billy Elliot the Musical in London’s West End from 2008 to 2010. He also won the BAFTA Rising Star award at a very young age, making him the youngest star to do so.

Demi’s relationships with Joe Jonas and Wilmer Valderrama have made headlines, and she has been open about being non-binary and then a “fluid person.”
Demi’s drug use and struggles to stay clean are well known, but she has also had a long and successful career as a singer, songwriter, and actor. Demi moved on to singing after doing well in the Disney sequels to Camp Rock. Since then, she has released seven successful albums, won a lot of awards, and been nominated for two Grammy Awards.

The actress came back to the big screen in 2021 with a role in the Netflix hit Don’t Look Up. She starred with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. Even though she keeps her private life private, JLaw and her husband had their first child in 2022.

Cardi B
Cardi B has made a name for herself in the short time since her first album, Invasion of Privacy, came out. The private life of the star is often in the news, including stories about her husband Offset, her famous rants on social media, and various feuds with other celebrities.
Cardi B has become more successful in the last few years, even though she had a public fight with another rapper, Nicki Minaj. She was the second female rapper to get on Billboard’s Hot 100 and have three songs on the list at the same time. Bodak Yellow, “No Limits,” and “Motor Sport” were all on the list at the same time.
Cardi’s fame also gave her access to the fashion world. She was able to make her own style by working with Fashion Nova on a clothing line. Cardi was named Billboard’s Woman of the Year in 2020, and Playboy magazine’s creative director in 2022.

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was named 2019’s highest-paid celebrity, and it’s easy to see why. Taylor is a legend in the music world. She has won over 300 awards, including 11 Grammys, so it’s safe to call her a legend.
But the Reputation singer doesn’t take her wealth for granted. She is a huge philanthropist and often gives back to her community. She gives a lot of money to causes that are important to her. For example, she gave $17,000 to help rebuild the library in her hometown and $15,500 to a fan whose mother had been in a coma for five years.
Even though she is successful and kind, the pop star has a reputation in the showbiz world for being a bit of a diva. Taylor has fought with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, among others. She is also well-known for dating famous men and writing songs about them.
After putting out two No. 1 albums, Folklore and Evermore, Taylor was the talk of the town in 2020. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) came out in 2021, and she kept her reign going.

Kendall Jenner
There is always one Kardashian-Jenner woman who is popular on the Internet. After all, they are the very best of pop culture and social media, right? Kendall Jenner is the second youngest of the group. She doesn’t usually make headlines unless she’s walking the catwalk as the model of the moment.
In 2021, though, the young fashionista made headlines when the ad campaign for her tequila company, “818,” was criticised for taking Mexican culture and using it for its own purposes. The airbrushed photo from her SKIMS photoshoot also went viral after she was accused of photoshopping it.
Kendall is still the top model in the fashion world, even though there has been bad news about her. Kendall keeps her love life quiet, but she often talks about having anxiety and panic attacks.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez is another Disney star who has made it as a singer. She has three albums that have made the Billboard Hot 100 list.
Selena’s love life has been a big part of her success, just like it has been for the other people on this list. After having a relationship with Justin Bieber that was on and off, the two broke up for good in 2018. In recent years, the public has also learned about the superstar’s mental health. He is known to have gone to rehab after having a “emotional breakdown.”
Selena’s best friend Francia Raisa helped her get a kidney transplant in 2017. This saved Selena’s life. After Selena got better, she helped make the hit TV show 13 Reasons Why, voiced Mavis in Hotel Transylvania 3, and became a Puma brand ambassador. Selena got into the makeup business in 2020 when her brand, Rare Beauty, came out.

Kourtney Kardashian
Is there ever a time when a Kardashian family member isn’t in the news? At some point, one of the sisters is always a controversial case. The oldest Kardashian, Kourtney, keeps a lower profile than her siblings. However, in 2020, she made headlines when she quit the family show Keeping Up with the Kardashians so she could spend more time with her family.
The reality TV star was also trending on Twitter for a while after a shocking physical fight with her sister Kim was shown on the show.
Even though 2020 will be a big year for Kourtney, she is already well-known for her brand Poosh and her on-and-off relationship with Scott Disick. Travis Barker, who was in the band Blink-182, became her boyfriend in 2021. They got married just over a year later.

Beyonce
Beyoncé has been a star since she was in Destiny’s Child, and her career as a solo artist has shown that. Beyoncé doesn’t just make music; with her innovative ways of entertaining people, she also makes art.
She was the first woman to win six Grammys in one night. She was also the first black woman to headline Coachella (and what a show it was!). Her visual album, Lemonade, made her the first woman to have 12 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Beyonce keeps her personal life and relationships private, but that hasn’t stopped the media from making up stories about her relationship with rapper Jay-Z (and how he’s cheated on her), how she manages to keep up with her three kids, and how she stays in shape with her workouts and strict diet.

It’s easy to see why quirky Katy was the highest-paid woman in music in 2018. She’s known for her flashy outfits, bubbly personality, and catchy pop songs.
Katy also found her destiny by being a judge on American Idol. She has also been named Billboard’s Woman of the Year twice and has two clips that are on the list of the most-watched music videos of all time.
Katy’s relationships with people like Russell Brand and Orlando Bloom have gotten her a lot of attention, and her support for the LGBT community and feminism has gotten her a lot of praise. In 2020, she put out her sixth studio album, Smile, and gave birth to her first child with Bloom. In 2021, she performed at Joe Biden’s inauguration.

In 2021, she was criticised for trying to get an unedited picture of herself in a bikini taken down from the internet.
Khloe has found her passion in working out, even though she gets a lot of negative attention. Her journey to better health led to a spin-off show called Revenge Body, a clothing line called Good American, and several books and workout DVDs.

Johnny’s list of movies isn’t as long as it was in the 1980s and 1990s, but he has still made headlines by becoming the world’s highest-paid actor in 2012 and by having a rocky relationship with Amber Heard.
The actor is also a musician, and he is a member of the rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires. Johnny has also been involved in a few drug and alcohol scandals, which is sad, but that hasn’t stopped him from being one of Hollywood’s most famous actors.

You can’t get away from this famous name in 2022! Amber Heard is an actress who is known for her roles in Aquaman, Pineapple Express, and Never Back Down. However, her reputation has recently been hurt by her ongoing feud with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, and their court battle.
After Heard said that Depp abused her several times during their two-year marriage, including in an op-ed about domestic violence in The Washington Post, Depp sued her for defamation. Heard also sued Depp for the same thing.
The intense trial drew a lot of attention for most of 2022, and the media and general public have had a lot to say about who is really innocent. When the jury finally came to a decision, it was said that Heard was guilty of slander.
