1. Ariana Grande, who wasn't the massive pop star that she is today, hadn't released ANY of her music. In January 2013, she was simply hoping to release "at least a single":
I really really really want to release my music. At least a single. It's all I want. You have no idea.
2. In the same vein, Sam Smith didn't have one single song out yet. Instead, he was just tweeting about the Jersey Shore finale:

7. Back in January 2013, Grant Gustin wasn't The Flash quite yet — he was just a relatively unknown actor patiently waiting for his guest role on 90210 to finally air:
In and out with some 90210 AD and I feel like I've "worked" today. I'm excited for these to start airing.
8. Amy Schumer didn't have the star power that she has today — she just wanted to be friends for life with Chrissy Teigen:

14. Speaking of the White House, celebrity Donald Trump was tweeting his praise for the New York Times' reporting, something we'd NEVER see in 2017:

Life goal: to meet Ellen @TheEllenShow
17. Meanwhile, Gigi Hadid wasn't the Victoria's Secret Angel she is today. Instead, she was just a model who was cut from an episode of 2 Broke Girls:

18. Golden Globe-nominated actor Ansel Elgort was pursuing music, tweeting Soundcloud links of his remixes under the name "Ansolo."
