Most Popular & Trending Celebrities, Whether it was Kim Kardashian who broke the internet or Justin Bieber who grabbed the headlines, there’s been a handful of trending celebrities in 2021. Twitter exploded as stars feuded while failed relationships sent news stories spiraling around the world.

1. Billie Eilish

There’s no listening to the radio in 2021 without hearing a song by this artist. Billie Eilish might just be one of the most popular and trending musicians of the year. At the mere age of just 19 years-old, the young starlet has achieved more than the most historic singers can brag about. Most Popular & Trending Celebrities

With hit singles like Bad Guy and All the Good Girls Go to Hell, Billie has already earned seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, one Guinness World Record, three MTV Video Music Awards, and two Brit Awards. In 2020, she was gifted the opportunity to release the soundtrack for the James Bond movie, No Time to Die.

Billie generally keeps her personal life private, however she has been open about having Tourette syndrome. She’s also a huge fan of Justin Bieber, but who isn’t?

Did You Know? Billie has been writing music since she was 11 years-old!

Justin has had a wild career since he was discovered on YouTube at the age of 13 by Scooter Braun and Usher. Since then, the young superstar has had his fair share of ups and downs, from great music success (he was the youngest artist to achieve five no.1 US albums) to a tale bashing of bad, controversial press.
Despite selling more than 150 million records and being dubbed one of the world’s best-selling music artists, Justin was at one stage, named “the most hated person in the world”. His on-and-off-again relationship with Selena Gomez, erratic behavior, and use of drugs led him to depression, but in recent years, Justin has focused on his well being, music and arena tours.
His biggest achievements as of late was his speedy marriage to supermodel, Hailey Baldwin (now Mrs Bieber) and the release of his recent albums, Changes and Justice.

The triple-threat has proven that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. Her Vegas residency broke records and her career just keeps going from strength to strength. As of late, Lo produced and starred in the 2019 hit movie, Hustlers, performed at the 2020 Super Bowl, and sang at Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration.
Jennifer Lopez’s relationship history is pretty long and most recently, she announced her separation from her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, and later reunited with her ex, Ben Affleck.

When will Kanye West ever not make headlines?! Whether it’s his run for president in 2020, bizarre rants, or relationship with Kim Kardashian, the controversial rapper seems to always be the talk of the town.

Kanye has been in the music business for over a decade and to honor just how important his presence has been, he was awarded with the MTV VMA Vanguard Award in 2015.

While he’s had his fair share of public feuds, Kanye West has made headlines for much more than his occasional outbursts.

While his music is what makes him famous, The Weeknd’s love life has also been a hot topic as of late. The star has famously dated Selena Gomez and been in an on-and-off again relationship with Bella Hadid. In 2021, the world was shocked to learn that The Weeknd was potentially dating Angelina Jolie.

The girl with the killer vocals began her career at the young age of 15 by performing in Broadway musicals. From there, she went onto TV filming before releasing her debut album, Yours Truly. The album went to number one in the charts and Ari won an AMA award for ‘Best New Artist’.

9. Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is known for his chart-topping hits and his breathtaking vocals. Yet, his success often goes unnoticed due to his humble and mellow appearance. The British star has bagged four Grammys, he has performed for the Queen of England, and pushed boundaries with his several albums.

His tracks are the epitome of wedding playlists, while his rare public appearances have made him one of the most beloved and famous celebrities of 2021. Ed Sheeran’s love life is generally kept under wraps, but it was revealed that he married his childhood friend and former high school classmate, Cherry Seaborn in January 2019 and they had a baby together in 2020.

10. Britney Spears

Pop legend, Britney Spears has been in the limelight ever since her rise to stardom in the 1990s. From releasing pop bangers like Hit Me Baby One More Time to making headlines for her breakdowns, this superstar will always be the topic on everyone’s lips. Dubbed “the Princess of Pop”, Britney has had global success, selling over 100 million records worldwide and winning over 100 awards throughout her career.

The teen idol has topped the list for most searched celebrity seven times in 12 years, not just for her music (and short movie career – remember Crossroads?) but for her personal life, too.

She famously dated fellow popstar, Justin Timberlake and married Kevin Federline, but it was her breakdown which made her a tabloid target in the mid 2000s. After a messy divorce, Britney entered a drug rehabilitation facility in 2007, publicly shaved all of her hair off, and fought the paparazzi numerous times. In 2021, Britney was everyone’s concern as it was revealed through a documentary that she was put under a conservatorship of her father, leading to the #FreeBritney movement.

Is there ever a time when Kim Kardashian isn’t trending or breaking the internet? In fact, the celebrity world probably wouldn’t function or even exist without a controversial Kardashian story circulating online.

Since the launch of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim’s popularity has grown from strength to strength. She’s rocked the entertainment world by being involved in a notorious sex scandal, marrying Kanye West (and then divorcing him in 2020), and enduring a horrific robbery. These headlines however, have allowed her to take many business avenues. (Most Popular & Trending Celebrities)

Kim has created her own workout DVDs, clothesline, book, mobile game, emojis, KKW Beauty line, perfume and shapewear. She also donates a lot of time to charities and even helped release Alice Johnson from prison. Since then, Kim has been focusing on becoming a qualified lawyer to help others like Alice.

Whether it’s his inspiring quotes, rumored hook-ups, or rap feuds, no matter what Drake does, he will always remain a beloved and popular celebrity in the entertainment world. He’s only in his early 30s but has already outsold rap legends, including Tupac, Jay-Z and Eminem. 

The Canadian-born star has won four Grammys, six American Music Awards and a record 29 Billboard Music Awards. His chart-topping albums including Views always have a longstanding reign, while his arena tours sell out in minutes. In 2021, Drake became the first artist to surpass 50 billion combined streams on Spotify and was named Artist of the Decade at the Billboard Music Awards.

The Queen of Rap has been around for over a decade and since then has reached headlines for famously beefing with other celebs, dating fellow rappers, and of course, building a successful career.

Nicki Minaj has had over 100 entries on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, and while the star has been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards, she’s not won any, but has successfully bagged 12 BET awards over the years.

Proving that she’s a triple threat, the star has proved her acting skills by starring in Ice Age: Continental Drift, The Other Woman, and Barbershop: The Next Cut. She’s also undertaken many business ventures, including her own mobile game app, wine and a makeup range with MAC cosmetics.

She’s officially the youngest celebrity on this list, but undeniably one of the most popular stars in 2021. 18-year-old Olivia Rodrigo released her debut single Driver’s License in January this year, and became a prominent female star in the music world – competing with her rivals like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande.

Driver’s License is Olivia’s first single, yet it is the biggest weekly streaming debut for any song globally in Spotify history – in the first week of release, it amassed over 127M global streams. The love song has also made it to number one in over 10 countries.

Those active on TikTok will recognize Doja Cat as one of its viral uploaders, while others will know her as a rap star and singer, famous for her infectious singles Say So and Need To Know.

From using an anti-gay slur to mocking COVID-19, Doja has soldiered through several backlashes throughout her career, but has ended up as a trending popstar, particularly in 2021.

If we had to name the song of 2019 at the top of our heads, it would undoubtedly be that belonging to Lil Nas X – Old Town Road. The hitmaker of the country rap single has been a hot topic ever since the track became a viral sensation two years ago.

Zendaya is one of the most trending stars of 2021 thanks to her extraordinary talent and success at the mere age of 25. Unlike a few celebs on this list, the young actress has gained worldwide adoration for her triumphs in both music and movies, rather than her personal life, which is generally kept under wraps.

The Dune star rose to fame as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up and later became a Hollywood sensation after starring in the HBO drama, Euphoria, and becoming the youngest recipient of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Since landing in the limelight, Lady Gaga has stunned us with her extravagant attire, from meat dresses to egg incubators. The star isn’t shy of gifting the entertainment world with the odd crazy moment such as covering herself in blood on stage or throwing shade at pop icon, Madonna.

But what has really grabbed our attention over the years is Lady Gaga’s undeniable creativity and incredible vocal abilities. With 12 Grammys under her belt, it’s hard to ignore Gaga’s great talent. This gift was also portrayed on-screen when she starred in the popular 2018 movie, A Star is Born alongside Bradley Cooper.

The Joanne superstar has her own merch, a perfume line, and most recently, she launched a cosmetics line, Haus Laboratories. In 2020, she released her album Chromatica and in 2021, she sang the US National Anthem at the inauguration of Joe Biden.
