Hello Upper East Siders, it's time for some 'Gossip Girl' quotes.

'Gossip Girl' is a TV series about a group of privileged teens and an anonymous blogger named Gossip Girl who loves exposing everyone's secrets. The series aired from 2007 to 2012 on CW channel.

Set in New York's Upper East Side, 'Gossip Girl' followed the lives of Serena Van Der Woodsen, her best friend Blair Waldorf, and her other friends and enemies through the many ups and downs of their (very) privileged lives.

Throughout the series, a merciless blogger named Gossip Girl watched their every move and never hesitated to unveil their deepest secrets that they wanted to keep covered.

Even almost a decade after the final episode was aired, 'Gossip Girl' is still considered one of the best and most entertaining shows out there. It has always been especially popular amongst teenagers and young adults, however, most of the show's original fans are now in their twenties and thirties.

Whether it is thanks to the romance of Blair and Chuck, the empowering Blair Waldorf quotes, the style of Serena Van Der Woodsen, or the underrated charm of Dan Humphrey, everyone has something they particularly like about the show.
