14 Reasons Why 2014 Was "The Year Of The Booty"

Let's not kid ourselves, 2014 was undoubtedly The Year of The Booty. We were Obsessed With It. Pop culture turned our eyes to every derriere we came in contact with. NSFW because booty.

1. Meghan Trainor did a really important thing.

This breakout star shared her positive message about being proud of your body with the world. "All About That Bass" is an anthem for women everywhere, and is definitely a step in the right direction about teaching girls to be proud of their body image....But, more specifically, being proud of that bootay!

2. Jason Derulo joined the fan club.

His song "Wiggle" made...waves...as a celebration of that most jiggly part of the female anatomy. Not sure how Meghan would feel about her butt being referred to as "2 Planets" though.

3. Rihanna did this.
