Can y'all believe it's been nine years since our favorite boy band was formed? It's true! On July 23, 2010, history was made when One Direction was created on The X Factor, and Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik have been wreaking havoc on our lives ever since. The band may have gone on hiatus in 2015, but for those of us diehard fans, their music is still on repeat on our Spotify playlists, except now it's blended in with all their solo projects as well. We wanted to take a moment to get all up in our emotions and look back at One Direction's golden years of performances, red carpets, and goofing around — all the little moments that made us fall in love. Join us on this journey; we've got a whole lot of history to cover.
