2022 was an iconic year for some of the Millennium’s biggest names.
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Tara Reid all made a resurgence in Hollywood this year.
Of course, none of these women ever completely “went away” from our hearts and memories.
2022 Was The Year Millennial Powerhouses Made A Comeback
However, Spears was placed into a nearly 13-year-long conservatorship, Lohan had substance abuse issues and moved to Dubai, while Reid went from 2000s hottie to a hot mess.
By 2022, each woman, respectively, made some sort of comeback.
Spears’ conservatorship came to an end in November 2021 and she married her longtime boyfriend, Sam Asghari.
She has since regained full control of her Instagram account, and yes, we are aware many of her posts are alarming.
But here’s the kicker, she’s been able to travel about the US and the world freely, and she’s taken full advantage of this newfound freedom.
She continues to spin, dance and sweat on IG for her fans.
In 2022, Spears joined forces with Elton John to release her first HIT song and music video in YEARS!

They collaborated on and remixed Elton’s 1972 hit, “Tiny Dancer.”
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight of their collaboration, Spears said, “I was so honored when the incredible Sir Elton John asked me to join him on one his most iconic songs. We are so excited for the fans to hear it!” she said in a statement. “Thank you, Elton, for having me! I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with you and your legendary mind.”
Elton had nothing but praise for the “Slave 4 U” singer as well.
“I am absolutely thrilled to have had the chance to work with Britney Spears; She truly is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars and she sounds amazing on this record,” he gushed about Spears. “I love her dearly and am delighted with what we’ve created together.”
Lohan also celebrated a TON of milestones this year.
She got married to Bader Shammas this summer, after getting engaged on November 11, 2021.

In March 2022, she told Variety she’s ready for her comeback and never considered walking away from the industry.
“No, I mean, there’s an old saying: ‘Once you’re in Hollywood, you never get the taste out of you,’” she told the outlet. “I’ve taken a break before and stepped out of it. But once it’s in your blood, it’s always in your blood, you can’t help it. And no matter what, it’s my true love. I love acting.”
She continued to explain that she won’t be waiting around for movie roles to come to her.
“I finally decided, I’m not going to wait for people to cast me, I’m going to start casting myself,” Reid noted. “I’m going to make my own destiny, my own future.”
Here’s to a bright, prosperous and fully-loaded 2023 for these millennial queens!
