This feature is a part of Aaliyah Week, celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut album. Check in every day this week for another feature on the hit-maker.
At just 22 years old, Aaliyah Dana Haughton reached icon status. She gave us hit after hit, wowed us with her stunning presence, and though she passed early, Aaliyah lived a life full of amazing moments we'll never forget. Her impact was felt throughout music and pop culture, so much so that we felt compelled to dedicate a week to Baby Girl. That's just how special she is.
As Aaliyah Week draws to a close, we would be remiss not to share video footage of the late-singer throughout her incredible career. Included in this video gallery are performances that span from Nickelodeon to the White House, as well as rare interviews from the singer that display her genuine passion for music.
