Before They Were Famous: 58 Celebrity Yearbook Photos You Have To See

School picture day is always a nerve-wracking time of the year. There's something comforting in knowing that some of the biggest celebrities in the world also went through the awkward experience. More than that, yearbook photos have a way of revealing a lot about the time period in which it was taken. We've compiled 58 yearbook photos of your favorite celebrity musicians and actors that do just that. For example, Katy Perry wearing a Bebe shirt and sporting a layered bob screams late '90s to early 2000s. Legendary singer Mariah Carey's perm in her senior portrait high school is the perfect match for the year it was taken, 1987.

Below are school yearbook photos of everyone from pop stars from several generations like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Madonna, Country music stars like Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean, rappers like Wiz Khalifa and Kendrick Lamar, hearthrobs like Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake, and many more.
