From Elon Musk and Donald Trump locking lips to North West dropping her debut album, here are our wildcard predictions for the year ahead
SABRINA CARPENTER AND OLIVIA RODRIGO HAVE A “GIRL, SO CONFUSING” MOMENT
It’s high time they buried the Joshua Bassett hatchet. In 2025, the two ex-Disney girlies will follow in the footsteps of Charli xcx and Lorde and put their beef to bed, collaborating on a song together and starring in an appropriately tongue-in-cheek music video.
ELON MUSK AND DONALD TRUMP SHARE A TENDER KISS
Followed by the messiest break-up of all time (Trump gets tired of Musk stealing all the limelight from him, Musk punches Trump in the face, Trump orders a hit on Musk, etc etc).
ELON MUSK BECOMES A UK CITIZEN
After Trump dumps him he’ll come running to Nigel Farage on the rebound.

A FEUD BETWEEN LIAM AND NOEL GALLAGHER SPARKS PANIC ABOUT THE OASIS REUNION TOUR
The Daily Mail will publish pap shots of the pair brawling outside a North London pub; people will freak out; Metro will publish an explainer detailing what your rights are as a consumer if you have tickets to an event which ends up cancelled. But ultimately it’ll be fine and the reunion will go ahead as planned.
