Let’s be honest: The best thing about social media is that celebrities use it — obsessively. And we, the innocent bystanders, obsessively reap the benefits. From epic haircuts and photobombs to everything Amanda Bynes ever did, 2013 was full of eye-popping and show-stopping celebrity moments on social media. Here are our favorites:
-
1. When Beyonce cut off her hair...
Love it or hate it, Beyonce’s new look was drastic and pretty brave.
-
2. Kim Kardashian's assets
I mean, damn.
-
3. When Lady Gaga lashed back at critics
The singer took to Twitter to preempt her critics, tweeting the worst things said about her online. Maybe it took guts, maybe it was just promotion for her new single.
-
4. When Nick Jonas grammed his abs
O_o
-
5. Any Nicki Minaj selfie
Girl just lets it all hang out.
-
6. Miley's tattoo — on the balls of her feet

Pretty awesome, actually — and you can’t say that about many of the other things Miley did in 2013.

7. When Giselle showed us what multitasking looks like...
…and Emmy Rossum took the opportunity to mock her
-
8. Cameron Diaz's eye-popping Twitter premiere
Twitter This is her profile picture. We love you Cam.

9. The best photobomb of all time
Because Beyoncé.
-
10. When Justin Bieber's photo with Will Smith became the most-liked Instagram of the year
-
11. The time Amanda Bynes called Jay Z "ugly face"
…Not to mention these other “ugly” victims:
Chrissy Teigan
Jenny McCarthy
Miley Cyrus
Lance Bass
Courtney Love
Rihanna
Sarah Hyland and her boyfriend
Barack and Michelle Obama
Zac Efron
And of course Drake, which she later retracted:
