We’ve reached peak butt. After months of derrières in music videos, trend pieces, and celebrity shenanigans, Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea have topped all of the tush-centric pop culture that has come before them in 2014 with their new music video for “Booty.” So to praise the bootylicious winners of the year of the ass, let’s take a look back at everything that has led up to this point where a 45-year-old pop legend is twerking in tandem with a pasty Australian rapper.

Taylor Swift twerks in “Shake it Off” The lyrics don’t mention booty because Swift is more focused on baking but the music video shows the gawky girl break it down Miley Cyrus-style surrounded by women more blessed in the behind department.
Taylor Swift Shake it Off Vogue declares that “We’re Officially in the Era of the Big Booty” “In music videos, in Instagram photos, and on today’s most popular celebrities, the measure of sex appeal is inextricably linked to the prominence of a woman’s behind.”
