Getting a reply from a celebrity is merely a dream for many fans, but dreams can become reality. Celebrities are often seen as heroes and influencers that people look up to. Inspired by their respect and admiration for celebrities, many fans around the world send fan mail and messages on Instagram and other social media accounts to these larger-than-life figures every day. In a surprising number of cases, they are fortunate enough to get a response.
Sometimes these incredible responses make headlines and other times it goes under the radar, but they range from advice, kind words, or even simple responses and acknowledgments that show that celebrities are in fact listening to their fans. Celebrities like to keep their fans close and treat them as a part of their lives, often conversing with them via social media. So let us look at the top replies from celebrities to their fans on Instagram and other social media platforms.
Adele Thanks Fan for His Twitter Posts
In 2020, Adele responded to a fan’s direct message in the sweetest manner. Colyn (@colynelliott on Twitter) received a direct message from his idol on August 29th, 2020.
Adele wrote, “Your Twitter account has entertained me through covid. You look like so much fun! I’m chuffed you like my music. Keep loving your life. It is so lovely and infectious to see from every angle”. To be Colyn at that moment would be to know true happiness and excitement.
Taylor Swift Compliments Fan’s Look
Taylor Swift is famous for her back-to-back chart-topping albums and huge fan base—which is arguably one of the largest and most passionate on the planet. Many Swifties, as her fans like to call themselves, DM her every day. One such fan was fortunate enough to not just get a response but to have a conversation with Taylor.
Taylor wrote, “Thanks for always being there and always posting stuff that makes me laugh,” and went on to compliment the fan’s glitter eyeliner look.
Ariana Grande Tells fan she loves them
Ariana Grande is among the top musicians of this decade. Her fan base, known as Arianators, will often send the actor/musician DMs with loving messages. In one such instance in 2015, Ariana responded to a fan. They simply asked her how she was doing, but Ari wrote back saying “I’m great, my love,” followed by a “love u so sweets.” It goes to show that while doing something out of the ordinary can be the trick to getting a celebrity response, sometimes all it takes is being genuine and showing that you care.
Harry Styles’ Relationship Advice
Harry Styles is well known for his One Direction days when he gained millions of fans for his incredible voice. However, his solo career has taken his popularity to an all-time high, especially following the release of his album “Harry’s House”. In one instance, a fan tweeted about having relationship problems, and Harry quickly took the conversation to her DMs and offered her relationship advice.
He wrote, “Hello, I saw your tweet about telling someone you have feelings for them. Life is too short not to tell people how we feel, so my advice would be to go for it. If you really mean it, there is nothing to be scared of. Be honest and vulnerable; that is what makes you feel human. And feeling human, the good and the bad is what life is. Hope it goes well. Love, H”.
Shawn Mendes Thanks a Fan
Shawn Mendes is a very popular award-winning musician. Many of his fans reach out to him, and he occasionally writes back. A lovely fan (@foundlovestyles) gifted Shawn one of Harry Styles’ “Treat People With Kindness” T-Shirts, and the musician was quick to DM her a thank you.
Shawn said, “Hey, thank you for the shirt! I wanted one so bad! xx”, and immediately followed her.
James Charles Gives Fan Makeup Advice
James Charles is a very famous influencer, mainly popular for makeup trends. He often responds to fans via Twitter and Instagram, helping them level up their makeup game and master the latest trends. One Twitter user Morgan (@MorganGeex), was fortunate enough to get a reply from him. She asked him about a product and her skin type, and he was quick to respond via DM.
Justin Bieber Thanks Fans for Supporting Him
Justin Bieber reached new heights of stardom after his hit single ‘Baby’ topped the charts. He became an overnight sensation and the rest is history. Besides his music, the Canadian singer is known to sometimes respond to his fans on Instagram and Twitter. His messages often consist of sending words of gratitude to his fans and thanking them for their support. For example, he wrote to a fan about writing new music and thanked him for his love and appreciation.
Zayn Pays for a Fan’s Veterinary Expenses
Going back to his One Direction days, Zayn Malik, like Harry Styles, has been a heartthrob. He frequently talks to his fans via Instagram live sessions and tweets. A fan tweeted about an abused cat and his surgery on one occasion. Zayn quickly DM-ed the fan and inquired about the payment details to pay for the surgery.
He said, “Hey, I’d like to pay for the cat’s surgery. Can you send me the details of where to transfer the money, please?”
Zendaya
Zendaya has given lots of shout outs to fans in the past via her social media accounts. One of many examples occurred early on in her career when she got a gift from a fan and took to social media to thank them! Sometimes, going old school and sending a physical letter can ironically be the key to getting a DM or mention on Instagram or Twitter.

FAQs
The best way to get a reply from a celebrity on Instagram is by tagging or mentioning them in your content. DMs occasionally work, but they can also go straight to the message requests folder which makes them difficult for celebrities to see.
If you are messaging with an account that appears to be owned by a celebrity, always use caution. There are many people out there who pretend to be celebrities on social media. Make sure that you are actually messaging with the celebrity’s official account. A verified account checkmark is always the best way to know that you are talking to an official account.
Hi omg i luv u soooo much sweetie
Does Keanu Reeves chat on Instagram with his Fans?
Good evening ariana grande hope u see this message am looking forward for u to message me u are my role model
That google chat is scam. I knew it was from the beginning, celebrities don’t do that . I became friends with the real celebrity by telling him someone was pretending to be him. If they don’t send you a picture or voice message, report and block them immediately.
Hi I have talked to a so called celebrity telling me that they are my favourite artist on telegram and then she sent me her email asking me to send an itunes card to pass a test.
I’ve had the fake pleasure of talking to 2 phonys. Liza Minnelli and Anthony Hopkins. They both had me believing they’d help support autism because I have a adult non verbal autistic son severely autistic. I did my research and found out it was bologna with both. Such a damn shame cause we the autism community so desperately need the help.

I have had Several so called Celebrities. Brendan Fraser. David Grohl. John Cusack. Jimmy Kimmel. Johnny Depp.Rufus Wainwright . Joni Mitchell try to get my phone #. Email. What do I look like?. What are my Thoughts. Interest.etc… Really ? I play along. Until like John Cusack says ” will you be my girlfriend? ” ” I want to meet a Nice Lady that is not after my Money” The John Cusack on Google Chat or Messenger or Telegram can not even spell!! It is a Sad World 🌍🌎. I met John Cusack in Dallas Texas. He Comped my Ticket. But at The Meet and Greet ( which I did not attend) I heard from some people that there was a Glass Wall between John Cusack and people that paid a lot of money 🤑💰. They were Very Upset!!! I felt sorry for them. They did not get a picture, autograph, NOT A THING !!!! You know Celebs are just People they put their clothes on just like we regular people!!! Sorry I had to Vent!!!. Thank You. Kellene Erin Hubbard
I’ve been talking to my favorite singer/actor and our conversations started on Facebook messenger for 24hrs then he ask me to go to Google chat and we’ve been talking since. Never said anything about any kind of money until he wanted me to do a Diamond meet and greet no it’s like 4000$ for that and then he started talking about trust wallet Bitcoin and simplex. Now he says he will pay 2000$ and I’m to pay 1500$ for Diamond meet and greet. Then I need to get a fan id. But they want me to pay through cash app and sends me cash app code. I think it’s a scam but not for sure. They use proper English and punctuation.

Yeah, a common story😊I’ve been contacted by a so-called celeb on Messenger after a request. I was kindly asked to sign up the google chat coz it is safe from scammers.
I also experience someone claiming to be my favorite celebrity but after we start talking for a day or two they start asking me for steam cards and other things talking about they testing me to see if I’ll pass the test and if I don’t give them what they want they block me and leave
It’s not real. The fact that it’s not a verified account is one of many Red flags here.
I have been messaged by a celebrity, and have been talking with them on google chat. I dont know if this person is really the person. Met on tiktok, been talking for a few weeks, has never asked for anything and been very nice and sweet. Tiktok page directs people to verified IG page. It seem legit, so real.
Weve gotten close, but the person wont talk on the phone because they say its Professional business line. And I think thats crap…but ive been wrong before. What the heck is going on with me?
I want it to be real…
If it’s not her official account, then no.
