Gossip Girl went out with a bang Monday night, wrapping up storylines that revolved around our favorite Upper East Siders.
Not only did Blair (Leighton Meester), Chuck (Ed Westwick), Dan (Penn Badgley), Serena (Blake Lively), Nate (Chace Crawford) and all the others live happily ever after, but fans also found out who’s been pulling the strings as Gossip Girl for the past six seasons. And they quickly took to the web to voice their opinions.
Note: Spoiler ahead if you haven’t seen the CW show’s final episode, “New York, I Love You, XOXO.”
Fans spent the evening discussing the Gossip Girl’s identity, and he was a trending topic late into the night. That’s right: Gossip Girl is a HE. The character, voiced by Kristen Bell, was revealed to be none other than Lonely Boy, Dan Humphrey.
With “Dan is GG” and Gossip Girl trending on the social media site for hours, we scoured hashtags to find fans’ best, most dramatic and hilarious tweets about the end of this iconic show. Here are 10 of our favorites:
