For some reason, we really get a kick out of seeing celebrities engage with each other on social media. In our minds, most celebrity social media accounts are managed by some random PR person, so whenever we see what appears to be an authentic interaction, it's a lot of fun to play social media spy and try to deduce the real thoughts of some of our favorite celebrities — from Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds to Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo. Honestly, celebrity accounts are half the reason we end up scrolling down the social media rabbit hole.
Seeing celebs fangirl over each other, lovingly tease each other, and of course support each other on social media makes us smile, inspires us, and even motivates us — and we could all use more of all of those things, right? So from romance starters to praise posts, we're sharing some of the cutest, strangest, and most fun celebrity social media interactions.
Some of these might truly surprise you, and we promise they'll give you a bit more insight into some of your fave celebrities' real-life personalities. We're going to keep it super positive with this one, though of course there's also a lot of celebrity social media drama to be found. Scroll on to see some of the most memorable celebrity social media interactions from Instagram and Twitter.
Alicia Silverstone & Reese Witherspoon
In July 2021, Reese Witherspoon tweeted about the 20th anniversary of her iconic film Legally Blonde, and fellow actor and '90s icon Alicia Silverstone retweeted her message, along with a comment: "Happy anniversary I wonder if Cher (from Clueless) and Elle would be friends?" We think that would be a definite yes.
Nicola Coughlan & Mindy Kaling
A few weeks after the Netflix hit series Bridgerton came out, comedian Mindy Kaling tweeted, "Everyone thinking they're a Bridgerton when they're actually a Featherington." Funnywoman and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan (who plays Penelope Featherington) saw Mindy's comment and replied simply, "Tell me about it." They are effortlessly funny.
Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have been friends for years, and the social media exchanges between them are endless, namely because they've fabricated a faux feud in which they throw jabs back and forth at each other on social. Once, when Hugh insinuated that he'd been stood up for a lunch date, Ryan replied, "I said Pacific time."
Taylor Swift & Olivia Rodrigo
Taylor Swift totally stans for fellow singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, and she proved it to the Twitter-verse when she replied to 18-year-old Olivia tweeting about being excited that she was next to T-Swift on the iTunes chart. "I say that's my baby and I'm really proud," Taylor wrote, to which Olivia replied, "Thinking about legally changing my name to Taylor Swift's baby." So cute!
Penn Badgley & Cardi B
In October 2021, You star Penn Badgley praised how rapper Cardi B interacts with her fans on social media, and when she heard about it, she got really excited and sent out a tweet that said, "OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME!!! OMMMGGGG!!!!!! Yoooo like I'm famous famous."
The actor, of course, saw Cardi's tweet and ended up retweeting her with the comment, "I-." But then things got even more interesting when they both swapped out their Twitter profile photos for snaps of each other. And get this: Months later, neither has swapped their photo back.
Channing Tatum & Lenny Kravitz
Rocker Lenny Kravitz posted a photo of himself in the kitchen donning an open shirt and showing off his impressive abs, and movie star Channing Tatum couldn't help but express his admiration. "Good god man! What are you eating or what's in the water or the genes? It's not natural. Do you just do abs like all day?" he commented.
Lenny then replied, "Dude, I'm just trying to get in the next Magic Mike. Any connections?"
Mariah Carey & Cardi B
Everybody loves Cardi! She and none other than Mariah Carey did an interview together early in 2021, and when Cardi tweeted about it, Mariah responded, gushing about how much she loves the rapper.
"Cardi!!! I loved our conversation! What I didn't say but should have said is that it's not just the fact that you're beautiful on the outside, it is the fact that you are a real person who is also beautiful on the inside. I'm here for it all! You made my day."
Nicki Minaj & Naomi Osaka
In January 2021, tennis star Naomi Osaka announced her brand partnership with Louis Vuitton, and rapper and pop star Nicki Minaj dropped a congratulatory comment on the post that got Naomi pretty excited. She tweeted a screenshot of Nicki's message with the caption, "If she wants me to move in she should just say that."
Reese Witherspoon & Jennifer Aniston
When Jennifer Aniston first joined Instagram, she did so by posting a throwback clip from Friends that featured Reese Witherspoon, her costar on the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. Reese responded to the friendly teasing in Jen's caption by commenting, "Still can't have dairy … but I have YOU and that's better." We love them!
Normani & Cardi B
That's right … more Cardi B love! Singer Normani also took to Twitter to rave about how much she adores the tongue-in-cheek rapper, writing: "I love you always and I'm sure I sound like a creep saying this. I really am forever grateful and couldn't imagine coming outta hiding after two years with anyone else. Genuinely one of the sweetest human beings everrr. Thank you for being YOU."
Halle Bailey & Rachel Zegler
We absolutely love seeing girls lift each other up, such as when West Side Story star Rachel Zegler tweeted about how excited she is to see Halle Bailey in the upcoming The Little Mermaid film. Halle tweeted back, telling Rachel, "So proud and excited for you beauty!!"
Lizzo & Chris Evans
In 2019, Lizzo tweeted an adorable video of a little girl dancing, which Captain America actor Chris Evans retweeted with the caption, "This kid is cooler than I could ever hope to be." Lizzo took that as a compliment for herself and replied, "Wow marry me," sending her followers into a total tizzy.
Demi Lovato & Justin Bieber
In the spring of 2021, Demi Lovato released a new album and YouTube documentary, both titled Dancing With the Devil, and fellow musician Justin Bieber took to Twitter to praise her work. "Your album and doc are amazing @ddlovato. So happy and proud of you," he tweeted her.
Olivia Rodrigo & Cardi B
This one made us chuckle! "Just like that girl wrote a song about getting her driver's license Imma write a song about the struggle of not having a driver's license. I really wanted my McDonald's at 4am last night instead of today, but I couldn't so I fell asleep hungry," Cardi B tweeted one day.
Olivia saw it, and made a sweet offer in return. "Girl i will pick u up and take u wherever u wanna go," she replied.
Vin Diesel & Helen Mirren
In the summer of 2021, Helen Mirren posted a pretty sweet shot of her and Vin Diesel dancing outside of an event in the rain, and when Vin saw it, he commented, "I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night and still have begged for more …" They may be an unlikely match, but we stan for it.
Miley Cyrus, Blake Shelton, & Gwen Stefani
When singer Miley Cyrus found out that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were getting married, she excitedly tweeted, "ALSO @gwenstefani @blakeshelton I'll be your wedding singer! I promise to be on my best behavior. Or worst. Whatever you want! It's your special day! Cheers to loving you both almost as much as you love each other!" to which Gwen replied, "Talented geeezzzz."
Pink & Kelly Clarkson
When Pink received the Billboard Icon Award in May 2021, show host Kelly Clarkson said some pretty flattering things about her in a promo for the telecast of the ceremony. A tickled pink Pink replied, "KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!!! Yes, I'm just trying to sing like you one day." Pretty sweet for women who are essentially each other's competition.
Zoë Kravitz & Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon posted this stunning shot of herself sprawled out across a couch in a sexy pose, and Zoë Kravitz — who starred with her in Big Little Lies — just couldn't help herself. "I am very attracted to you," Zoë commented quite frankly, and we totally get it. Who wouldn't be?
