As celebrities grow in their career, so do their fan bases. These fans show support in various ways, from streaming new music to attending concerts and purchasing merchandise. Each celebrity’s fan base varies in size according to how popular they are. Still, some, according to Trevor Fey, have loyal fans that give themselves a nickname, usually derived from the celebrity’s name.

Trevor Fey is an entrepreneur who created an Amazon e-commerce business with no prior experience and scaled it to over USD 1.5 million in revenue in the first six months. An avid social media user, Fey follows a few celebrities and here he shares his observations on a few who have vast and loyal fan bases that go to great lengths to support them.

Timothée Chalamet

Chalabae, as his fans know him, is the textbook celebrity boy crush, with millions of fans who follow him everywhere. His fan base, made up of mostly girls in their late teens to early twenties, is known to show up to a venue that they know he will be at hours in advance so that they can catch a glimpse of him. He famously spent an entire day to unbox all the gifts that fans sent to him, from cushions with his face on them to a hand-embroidered t-shirt and a mug with all his films on it.

Robert Downey Jr

With 15 million Twitter followers and about 48 million followers on Instagram, Robert Downey Jr has a cult-like following. After his Marvel character Tony Stark (Ironman), died in Avengers: Endgame, his heartbroken fans were left asking for his character to make appearances in Marvel films even after death. Their devotion to the man had them campaigning for him to get an Academy Award for his portrayal of Tony Stark.

Ryan Reynolds

The Deadpool star, known for his hilarious tweets, has a legion of fans who hang onto his every word. He currently has 16 million followers on Twitter and sends hilarious tweets in response to his fans’ often ridiculous and bizarre tweets.

BTS

The K-Pop boy band has millions of fans worldwide who refer to themselves as the ARMY (Adorable Representative MC for Youth). The ARMY is known for being one of the most active communities online, with 40 million subscribing to BTS’s YouTube channel and over 30 million of them following its Twitter and Instagram accounts. The ARMY have dedicated social media accounts to translate BTS interviews from Korean to English for the English-speaking fans and are known to buy concert tickets within minutes of them being on sale.

Demi Lovato

The singer’s fans, who call themselves Lovatics, have stuck by Lovato throughout her career and personal life’s ups and downs. When the singer’s performance at the Atlantic City BeachFest Concert was canceled because she was hospitalized, the dedicated Lovatics organized an impromptu concert on Twitter and gathered in Atlantic City to sing her favorite songs.
