What Actually Happened In 2016 And What Did I Just Make Up?

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston were [together for three months](https://www.buzzfeed.com/sheridanwatson/taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddleston-are-no-more-apparently) this year, and Drake did [profess his love](https://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/the-best-moments-of-the-2016-vmas) to Rihanna at the VMAs. As of right now Rob and Chyna are not together, but no one has said it's because of Kris Jenner.

Kris Jenner did not split up Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna

Where is the lie?

Kim Kardashian revealed this by Snapping a video she took of the [phone conversation](https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleanorbate/the-famousgate-tapes?utm_term=.piWRLP6nw2#.aqvMRDnjK3) between Kanye and Taylor. Lawd.

Taylor Swift DID know Kanye was going to use her in a lyric.

Can you spot the fib?

Beyoncé is [credited](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7341787/beyonce-lemonade-album-features-the-weeknd-diplo-kendrick-lamar-more) as the sole executive producer of _Lemonade_, and Jay Z's grandmother, Hattie White, did inspire the title of the visual album. In the visual album, there is a clip of Hattie at her 90th birthday party, saying "I was served lemons but I made lemonade."

"Don't Hurt Yourself" actually uses a clip from a different Malcolm X speech, "Who Taught You to Hate Yourself?"

Which fact did I make up?

The twins said they had [conflicts](http://people.com/tv/fuller-house-why-mary-kate-and-ashley-olsen-skipped-the-spinoff/) that interfered with the shooting, and Mary Kate said she didn't feel comfortable returning to the show because she "had not been in front of a camera since [she] was 17." Therefore, it's true that [competition](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/15/stranger-things-premiere-duffer-brothers) for the kids' roles in _Stranger Things_ was that stiff, and _Luke Cage_ was almost entirely shot in [Harlem](http://www.cbr.com/luke-cage-cast-showrunner-call-netflix-series-a-love-song-to-harlem/) even though, at times, it would have been easier to shoot in other parts of New York City.

Mary Kate and Ashley were actually invited to rejoin the cast of Fuller House.

Do you have your truth goggles on?

That honor actually belongs to [Snapchat](http://www.apple.com/newsroom/2016/12/apple-unveils-best-of-2016-across-apps-music-movies-and-more.html). _Pokémon Go_ is number three on the list. BUT Pokémon Go was [more popular](http://nerdist.com/pokemon-go-is-more-popular-than-porn-right-now/) than porn during, and [teens](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/23/pokemon-go-players-illegally-cross-canada-us-border) did get stopped by border patrol while playing the game.

_Pokémon Go_ is not the most downloaded mobile app of 2016.

Which one is false?

The [three new phones](http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/) are the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, and the iPhone SE. The good news is, those iPhones are water resistant!

Apple actually released three new iPhones this year.

Which one is a lie?

Specifically, [pepperoni pizza](http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/simone-biles-top-ways-stay-cool-olympic-pressure/story?id=41254386). Simone did win five medals at the Olympics, and it's true that she got a little [smooch](https://www.buzzfeed.com/michaelblackmon/simone-biles-and-zac-efron-finally-meet?utm_term=.khmgwEaKJO#.yo1AYxeNn3) from her crush, Zac Efron.

Simone Biles actually likes to eat pizza after every meet!

Where is the falsity?

But we did lose Vine and Harambe. RIP. :(

This year, we actually gained McDonald's All Day breakfast.

Which one lacks truth?

Which means that despite being shot in New York, all of _Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them_ was shot in Watford, England. The score for _Rogue One_ was composed by [Michael Giacchino](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/12/09/rogue-one-star-wars-michael-giacchino-score), who also composed the scores for the _Star Trek_ reboot and _Jurassic World_.

Captain American: Civil War actually coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Captain America comics.

Where is the falsehood?

But Hamilton did [sweep](http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-tony-awards-live-updates-20160612-htmlstory.html) the Tonys with 11 awards, and Leonardo FINALLY got his [Oscar](http://oscar.go.com/news/oscar-news/leonardo-dicaprio-wins-his-first-oscar-for-best-actor) for Best Actor in _The Revenant_.

Jay Z did not win a Grammy this year.

Can you spot the fake fact?

But the [Math Lady](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/math-lady-confused-lady) and [Arthur](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/arthur-s-fist) memes are from this year.

The "Why The Fuck You Lyin'" meme was bestowed upon us in 2015.

Which one is a misstatement?

It was actually released in 2015. The other two singles were released in 2016.

"Hotline Bling" was not released this year.

Can you sniff out the lie?

It sounds like this year was a total blur to you. Don't worry, it was for a lot of us, too.

You don't seem to remember 2016 that well

Not too shabby. Now that your memory has been jogged, you should do a lot better on your next try!

You kind of remember what happened in 2016

Tech, pop culture, sports — you remember it all like the back of your hand. You must have the memory of an elephant! Congrats on acing this quiz.

You're a 2016 trivia master

<p>The three iPhones released this year were the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone SE. A previous version of this quiz incorrectly stated that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7s were released this year. This quiz was also updated to clarify that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are water resistant, not waterproof. H/T to the commenters for pointing this out!</p>
