Taylor Swift released her song "Blank Space", personally poking fun of her "long list of ex lovers."
South Korean boy group by the name of Boyfriend was formed by Starship Entertainment.
The word "dating" officially entered the American English language. Prior to the Roaring Twenties, courtship was a matter of family and community interest. Women were visited by gentlemen callers, who would arrive at their home in hopes of beginning a courtship. However, this concept began to slowly fade when the idea of dating began to develop.
The term boyfriend comes into common use, originally meaning "woman's paramour."
