Celebrations in Hollywood on New Year’s Eve were quite different from the beginning of 2023.
The past year has been a rollercoaster for celebrities. They fought, they made up. They found love and they fell out of it. Many of them even went on strike! Just like regular people, A-listers in Hollywood were eagerly looking forward to leaving the past year behind.
Maybe that’s why so many celebrities who are usually very active on social media decided to stay off the ‘gram this NYE. Who knows, maybe the Kardashian-Jenner clan made a resolution to be more present in the moment? Of course, there were still plenty of Instagram Story videos of fireworks and party dresses from other celebs.
From Jennifer Lopez to Dua Lipa, check out how some of your favorite celebrities rang in 2024 on New Year’s Eve.
Taylor Swift
Swift spent New Year’s Eve cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium as they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals. She sent a message to viewers by wearing a letterman jacket that matches the one Kelce wore to his Christmas Day game on December 25.
Later on, the couple was reportedly seen sharing a midnight kiss, according to a fan-recorded video that circulated on social media. In the video, Swift seems to be dressed in a sparkling silver minidress and Midnights-inspired hair piece. Quite fitting! This might just have been her best New Year’s Eve since 2011.

Meanwhile, Swift’s close friend Blake Lively called it an early night, nearly ready for bed with her teeth brushed at 11:58 pm. On Instagram Stories, Lively shared a pic of her final look of 2023: an inside-out pink sweater and martini statement earrings, adding a pop of sparkle with Pat McGrath glitter eyeshadow and a “smeared” fuchsia lip.
