2023 has been a turbulent year for the entertainment industry.
"Barbie" was a runaway success, but the long-running WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes upended Hollywood.

2023 has been a turbulent year for the entertainment industry. While blockbuster movies like "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" raked in millions at the box office, the Writers Guild of America went on strike from May until September.

And two months later, the actors joined them. The Screen Actors Guild walked out in July, and a deal was finally made in November.

But it hasn't all been doom and gloom. Stars like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift embarked on huge tours, wowing fans across the world with spectacular performances.

Getty Images created a roundup of photos from the biggest events of the year. Here are some of the most impressive shots.
