Online Trailblazers: Top Celebrity Influencers On Social Media

When the internet first emerged, very few of us knew what to make of it. At first, it was a place for innocent and sometimes mundane entertainment. It was also, of course, a tool to reach out to people on the opposite side of the globe. But as years went on, the internet became more than just a tool. It is now a place for great learning, communication, unlimited entertainment, and of course, a place for infinite influence. To a certain degree, the internet remains a privilege, but it is where our entire lives revolve. From our relationships down to our work, everything about it can now be done within the infinite limits of social media. It indeed plays a big role in how our lives unravel day by day, and no one knows this better than celebrities. Since it’s a platform of great influence, it can be a powerful tool to market oneself in setting new trends.

Here are some of the biggest celebrity internet trailblazers who have mastered the art of social media:

TAYLOR SWIFT

Facebook: 71 Million
Twitter: 87.2 Million
Instagram: 140 Million
Youtube: 39.9 Million

For musical giant Taylor Swift, the realm of social media has been both a blessing and a curse. At the start of her career, social media played a big part in getting Taylor to a higher position in Hollywood. She used her platforms to get in touch with fans, even going as far as messaging them on Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. It was definitely a smart move on Taylor’s part as it contributed to her degree of influence and quickly shot her up the celebrity social ladder. But it was not without consequence, of course. As more and more information about Taylor became available online, more and more hate comments were hurled her way. But Taylor is not dubbed the “Queen of Comebacks” for nothing. After a slew of online rivalries with haters and musical rivals, Taylor was able to redeem herself by using her platforms to surprise her fans with new content and music. Today, Taylor is back, a little more private than before, but definitely stronger than ever.

BRITNEY SPEARS

In fact, the Toxic singer is still very much active on social media, with over 36 million Facebook likes, 55.7 million Twitter followers, and 26.4 million Instagram followers. As you can see, Britney is still very much an important figure on social media. As for her content, the singer lets her fans in on more personal events through her Instagram. Her feed consists mostly of art and selfies that the singer wants to share with the rest of her fans. And thanks to Instagram and Facebook’s “Live” feature, Britney is also able to host Q&A sessions with her fans. For the most part, though, Britney’s social media platforms run with a more professional approach, which might be upon the advice of her publicists and team of lawyers.

LIL WAYNE

Rihanna’s career started after talent agent Evan Rogers scouted her in her home country of Barbados back in 2003. After being impressed with Rihanna’s audition performance, Evan invited the young Rihanna to record some demo music back in the United States. From then on, Riri’s career slowly climbed up the ladder and got her to where she is today.

However, after 16 years in the music industry, Rihanna decided to put much of her investment money into establishing her beauty line known as Fenty Beauty.

Gaga’s social media, especially her Instagram, is a window into the world of legendary music and fashion. And just like the rest of us, her Instagram is filled with laidback selfies occasionally interrupted by professionally produced photographs.

Because of that, he was able to reach his fans on a more personal level giving him a deeper degree of influence. Although the rap industry has seen an influx of new rap talents, he still holds a high position in the hierarchy of artists. So much so that his social media accounts boast a total of 139.6 million followers. However, not a lot of Eminem’s posts are about his personal life.

When it comes to his social media handles, however, the award-winning rapper likes to keep it low-key with laidback pictures of him and his family but occasionally decorating his feeds with promotional contents of his music, latest projects, events, and of course, his merch.

Even more, when they see the kind of content she has, from family bonding, lifestyle, and hanging out with other celebrities, she’s not going to run out of publicity anytime soon, and we’re excited to see her drop some more videos.

You’ve probably heard of actor and comedian Tim Allen as the voice of popular animated character Buzz Lightyear from the hit movie Toy Story. However, you might not know that he’s been in some other hit movies as well. Some other notable projects under his belt are The Shaggy Dog, Wild Hogs, and the ABC sitcom Last Man Standing. We can see that despite his age, Allen has gotten a reasonable amount of clout, and he’s got quite a number of followers on his social media accounts as well.
While his internet followers don’t meet the same number as other influencers, Allen admitted that he’s not really a big fan of the whole social media trend that everyone’s so into lately. However, when we do see him, he’s usually a bit more active on Instagram, where we can see that he’s an avid motor enthusiast with love for motorcycles! We wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ready to get some gas going on his vehicles and take it out for a drive soon.

Several award-giving bodies have also given his credit for his work, like the Grammy’s, a Pulitzer Prize, and a record number of 16 Tony Awards. Quite an achievement for someone who’s been in the industry for a while. That’s just a fraction of his works, though. We haven’t even touched the other projects he did.

Miranda is also quite active on YouTube, where he has his own channel with over 200k subscribers. Most of his content consists of some own personal home-made videos and a few vlogs and music covers. Disney has also made him more famous by releasing his own original song for the movie Moana called; We Know The Way.

If you’ve watched Pitch Perfect, then you’re probably familiar with the name Anna Kendrick. Playing as Beca Mitchell’s character, she’s known as both a talented actress and an astounding singer. The talented actress has even performed in the Broadway musical High Society way back in 1988. Starring in the movie definitely helped elevate her status in Hollywood, and she gained even more recognition in the industry. In addition to that, she’s also been very active in social media, especially on Twitter.
Kendrick brought the press with her when she tweeted a hot and hilarious tweet about her relationship with actor Ryan Gosling. In an interview, the actress spoke about her own media presence on the web, saying that she just doesn’t mind if it sounds a bit off. Despite that, we’ve got to give credit for her humor and honesty. Not many people have that in Hollywood these days.

If you were a child from the early 2010s era, you’ve probably heard of the infamous song Eff You by Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, otherwise known by his stage name Ceelo Green. Even without social media’s help, Green managed to release one of the most well-known songs of the decade. However, despite not hearing about him that much anymore, the rapper and record producer hasn’t gone dark, especially when using social media platforms.

Nowadays, Green still has some loyal admirers seeing that his social media pages still have hundreds of thousands of followers. However, a few years back, there was a minor issue when he tweeted a sensitive topic on Twitter, which led to him receiving some degree of backlash. However, he has since apologized for it and owned up to his irresponsible remarks, something that not many celebrities would be willing to do that.

Known for her childhood role in the science-fiction movie E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial, actress Drew Barrymore has been one of Hollywood’s enduring actresses. Since starring in the Steven Speilberg film, she’s gone on the star in several hit movies, the likes of which include 50 First Dates, Blended, and Scream. Despite almost reaching middle age in today’s time, she’s shown that she can blend in with the younger generation as well, as evident by her social media presence.
She’s gone on to have her own show on YouTube, entitled the Drew Barrymore Show. From the looks of it, she’s looking to get all the clout she can get with her digital audience. We can see that she’s really taking the right steps to make new ways to interact with her audience, and the investments she made in her personal growth seem to be showing too. We can truly see that she’s still as popular as she once was, even by today’s standards.

Nowadays, almost every person is a fan of Marvel superhero movies. However, many people tend to forget to credit the amazing and talented people responsible for making them. James Gunn is one of them. As the director of both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Gunn has earned massive success and popularity. He’s also been active in different social media platforms, especially on Instagram, where he takes the time to shares some updates from his work-related life with his followers.
The producer and director is fond of sharing pictures of himself and his home and usually shares photographs of himself with his friends or pet dogs. Other content he posts are some pictures of movie sets for filming and the actors he’s worked with while production was ongoing. Pretty normal for now, but fans of his Instagram are surely anticipating if Gunn will make any announcements on the next Guardians film soon.

Speaking of Marvel movies, everyone knows the famous phrase HULK SMASH! from the character of Hulk himself. You’ve probably seen him on the big screen, alongside the superhero team, The Avengers, played by none other than beloved actor Mark Ruffalo. Starring as Hulk helped the actor gain more prominence in the industry and grew on to be one of the most successful Hollywood actors of all time. It also became the reason why he has millions of followers on social media too!
Ruffalo has also been very vocal about his love for Marvel, as evidenced by a number of posts he has with his co-stars. If Mark spends this much time on the internet and consumes this much power, his electricity bills have probably gone up. Hopefully, the actor occasionally takes some time off from being in front of his computer.

Dani Mathers had been the subject of several hate comments on social media after being accused of body shaming the 70-year old woman. The incident landed Dani in a lawyer’s office to sort out legal actions. The court later decided to ban Dani from all gyms and fitness areas in Los Angeles, California.
However, the incident didn’t seem to have impeded the model’s growth on social media. She still has hundreds of thousands of followers on different platforms, and we can see by the looks of it, she’s still pretty active and doing her best to grow her reputation still. Recovering from an issue like that isn’t easy, but knowing that she got a punishment after her mistake, we hope that she has learned her lesson because it would still be a shame to see her disappear from the public eye.

RIAN JOHNSON

If you’re a big fan of Star Wars, then you must know the names of Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, who’ve all starred in The Last Jedi. However, not many people know the man behind the movie, Rian Johnson. The American film director has also directed several other films and TV shows, including Looper and the hit show Breaking Bad. Despite his impressive career as a director, we don’t see him that much anywhere else, not even on social media.
Johnson doesn’t seem to be active on Facebook, but he does have a Twitter and Instagram. In his Instagram, he mostly black-and-white pictures of people, most likely some close friends, giving his feed an overall old school vibe to it. Perhaps the director is simply busy with his career and other personal investments. Despite his inactivity, we’re hoping to see more of the director’s work in the film industry soon.

Films like these helped launch her career and boost her popularity to the top, and now she’s one of the most well-known young actresses in the Hollywood industry. Her most notable social media feat is probably on Instagram, to which she has over 85 million followers.
Looking at her account, the actress seems to be looking more and more like a model every day. Her usual posts consist of self photoshoots, flaunting her gorgeous appearance and her stunning wardrobe collection. From the looks of it, she’s on her way into becoming an influencer too! We’re confident the actress already has some lavish investments, but Zendaya isn’t showing signs of slowing down. If her career continues to grow at this speed, her social media will only get bigger.

Actress Anna Farris has gotten known for taking on some comedic roles in her acting career, including Cindy Campbell’s role in the Scary Movie film series, The Dictator, and The Hot Chick. It’s no question that being the Hollywood actress that she is, she was able to grow her social presence as well. Despite only having a couple of million followers on her social media accounts, that’s a lot when compared to the ordinary person, so we’ve got to give her credit for that.
We can see that from her activity, Faris is most active on Facebook and Instagram compared to any other platforms. From what we can see, she mostly promotes her podcasts entitled Unqualified, and she shares videos as well of some of the people she’s talked to in her session. I guess we can see that acting isn’t her only strong suit.

American Hollywood actor Chris Evans began his career in Opposite Sex in 2000.  He catapulted to stardom by starring first as Johnny Cage in Fantastic Four and gained worldwide recognition for taking on Captain America’s role in the MCU films.  He also ventured into a directorial job as a producer/actor in the movie Before We Go.
His personality, good looks, and seemingly happy disposition in life fit Hollywood, as they say.  However, a lot of people didn’t know that Evans initially rejected the role of Captain America, but actor Robert Downey, Jr. encouraged him to take the part. We can’t imagine someone else fit enough to play the role. That is probably why Evans’ popularity has never been higher, as evidenced by his millions of followers on social media. The actor seems to never run out of gas, as he’s active in Hollywood and on his social media accounts, particularly Twitter. Evans likes to tweet about his current views on issues today. However, he’s also shown to have a softer side and cracks jokes every once in a while.

From then on, the degree of his fame grew exponentially. Unfortunately, the rapper met his untimely demise on September 7, 2018.

Long before the advent of YouTubers, Instagram influencers, and Twitter stans, there was one it-girl who became TV’s biggest star and pop-culture’s socialite blueprint, and that is no other than hotel heiress Paris Hilton.

Although Paris credits her initial rise to fame to her infamous last name, the hotel heiress eventually carved her own name as a modern-day icon by making use of social media. Paris was among the first celebrities in Hollywood to usher in the social media revolution by using her generation’s existing platforms to curate and propel her career into what it is today. Of course, her journey to become Hollywood’s biggest name was not without criticism. In fact, Paris’ whole career got punctuated with several scandals and speculations that were borderline unbearable.

The former politician pursued a degree in political science when he was in college and eventually made his way into the higher ranks of the Democratic party in the United States.

As a political figure, Anthony was known to support causes like LGBTQ rights and healthcare rights. It is also worth noting that Anthony advocated for the healthcare compensation of 9/11 responders in 2010. However, he also got criticized for agreeing to some highly controversial choices made by the US President regarding Iraq’s conflict. Today, Anthony no longer serves any political position, nor does he maintain any social media presence.

Nowadays, however, the actor has shifted some of his focus into creating an online persona for himself. With over 4.8 million subscribers under his belt, Jack Black is now a certified Youtube star.

For those who haven’t found the actor in the vast and far-reaching world of Youtube, you can find his channel under the name JablinksiGames. The channel seems to cover various content from daily vlogs, game streaming, and trendy online challenges. It certainly is a different path from what the actor is used to, but we can’t deny that it’s working out quite well for him. His other social media accounts aren’t so bad either. His Facebook page alone boasts 7.4 million likes, while his Twitter has a decent 376,000 followers, and his Instagram with 7.5 million.

He uses these platforms to update the fans of his activities, share new music and works, and reveal his sentiments and opinions about everything.
In addition, Ice T promotes other artists’ work here, and they should give him credits for that. As one of the most well-known rappers in the industry, not to mention a legend in his own right, a lot of people are looking up to the 62-year-old star.

The 45-year-old filmmaker is also not afraid of trolls because he’s the best at trolling. He even brought this “expertise” of him in interviews to a certain degree. Remember the time when she trolled Cate Blanchett at the San Diego Comic-Con? He said he cast the 51-year-old actress because she needs help and waiting for someone to reach out for her in the dark. Fortunately, Blanchett was a good sport and only said she’s grateful to work with Waititi. Isn’t he the best fit to be the social media king?
