LeAnn Rimes Cibrian has given us a final farewell. The multiple Grammy award-winning singer boiled 2025 down to one simple statement of exhausted-but-grateful energy in a post on social media that served both as year wrap-up and emotional thank-you note: “2025 had the message ‘let’s do two years in one’”. “Noted. learned. grateful.” narrated the post. A fast-paced video that accompanied the post, showing professional accomplishments and personal moments, demonstrated how busy her life was, climaxing with what seemed to be a last tired sigh: “And that’s it; just like that the year 2025 comes to a close.”
Rimes’ post repeatedly expressed a joint reflection. The artist insisted on tagging a long list of makeup artists, hairstylists, musicians, and close friends, confessing that she “ran out of tags” but still didn’t want to leave anyone out. This public acknowledgment revealed the collaborative aspect of her year, which likely involved concerts, shooting her part on ‘9-1-1: Nashville’, and a range of personal projects. It was a glimpse into the community required to sustain a prominent career and personal life.
Commenting section was quickly flooded by the audience with comments on the new year and sharing of common experiences. Many of the tagged collaborators came forward and showed appreciation to the artist just like the artist. @kohhair_ the hairstylist simply wished Rimes, “Happy new year my love,” to which she replied with a heartfelt, “we love you!!” @toridarkeofficial the makeup artist said, “Love you ❤️ hope there’s more 2026 memories to make,” which was completely in line with Rimes’ feelings. Another artist @annawilliamshair made a funny comment saying, “Lets do it again? 😅😅 Happy New Year!” and what was Rimes’ response? A playful, “we shall!”
Even people outside the showbiz world found nice things to say to Rimes indicating her magnetism. One user simply shared his/her wish saying, “One of the things I want to do the most in my life is to meet you and see a concert.” Another individual who seemed to have very personal interaction with the star said, “I LOVED meeting you and thank you for my birthday song!” The year was really momentous for fans from outside the U.S. One follower expressed gratitude, “THANK YOU for touring Australia!” and another one from Sydney said, “Happy New Year! Thank you for coming to Sydney, loved your show. Look forward to seeing you down here again.”
The overall mood was that of a celebration and the artist of the future. Musician @reubendemelomusic commented, “Thanks for including us in your 2025. We are so lucky to have it. I hope our paths intersect again.” Rimes was quick to respond in a very affectionate way: “they will always cross! love you.” It was the nature of such exchanges—personal, specific, and friendly—that caused a usual year-end post to transform into a collective dialogue.
