In lieu of the 7th anniversary of Niall Horan’s audition for XFactor (brb, crying over those 1D days), we decided to take a little walk down memory lane. Here’s a look at how some of your favourite artists have changed from their first days in the biz, to now.
NIALL HORAN
Talk about inspo! 7 yrs ago, @NiallOfficial auditioned for #XFactor and had a list of BIG goals. Today, they’ve all been achieved pic.twitter.com/xZGAW90ZhC

16 year old Niall was clearly nervous about his XFactor audition but can you imagine if he hadn’t even been there at all? We are SUPER thankful that Niall got through and is now continuing to grow in the music industry- both as an artist and person!

#10yearsofkidrauhl where it all began. Thanks https://t.co/iXMOt2sT3E — Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) January 15, 2017
Baby, Baby, Babyyyy ooOH HELLO, Justin <3 How time has flown by. We’ve seen our hometown boy practically grow up in front of our eyes. And we’re SO proud of everything that he has done so far. Here’s looking to the future…that second Grammy could be close!
SHAWN MENDES
From his Vine days to playing sold-out shows on large stages (Hello, Air Canada Centre), Shawn has captured millions of hearts along the way. That voice gets us literally EVERYTIME. And lets not forget this beauty of a photoshoot from late last year.
They grow up so fast.
DRAKE
0-100 real quick. His acting days are over (comeback time, anyone?) but this Drake has only gone uphill from there. Churning out hits after hits, Drizzy never fails to amaze us and continues to shout out his love for Toronto. We really do bow down to the 6god.
NICK JONAS
JUST LOOK AT THOSE CURLS. Nick had us crushing hard ever since his early 2007/Camp Rock days with the Jonas Brothers. And then those muscles started coming in and well, we just lost it. Keep doing you, Nicholas.
