Back in January 2014, one of the biggest talking points from the Golden Globe Awards was Jennifer Lawrence.
That night, she turned heads in a white Christian Dior gown, which some compared to Ariel from The Little Mermaid. The American actress shared a sweet kiss with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, took home the Best Supporting Actress award, and charmed the crowd with an endearingly nervous acceptance speech.
But before all that, she kicked off the night with a now-iconic photobomb of Taylor Swift, setting the tone for a playful and memorable evening.
Jennifer Lawrence’s photobombing of Taylor Swift was pretty much what made the 2014 Golden Globes, but what you might not know is that Taylor Swift also did some photobombing herself later that evening.
At the InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globe Awards post-party, the photobombed became the photobomber as Taylor Swift playfully snuck into a photo shared by Sarah Hyland on Instagram:
