They might be kind of a big deal now, but these stars were total stans at one point!
We all have to start somewhere and it’s no surprise that some of our fave icons would look up to these total legends. In fact, some of the stars had a total fan to friend glow-up. They’ve gone from meeting, working with, and becoming friends with their faves.
1. Annie LeBlanc was a total #Belieber! The 14-year-old “Utopia” singer recently revealed that, as a kid, she had a cardboard cut out of Justin Bieber and even a themed backpack!
2. Corbyn Besson from Why Don’t We used to geek over Jake Miller. What’s better than meeting your idol? Becoming friends with them! Corbyn used to look up to Jake and now they’ve played some of the same shows together and hung out at the gym.

3. Never forget how much Chance Perez from In Real Life loves Luke Hemmings! This Chance moment is totally relatable, too. What fan doesn’t dream of a follow from their fave?
Will somebody get @Luke5SOS to follow me?

4. Just like Annie, Billie Eilish isn’t shy about her Justin Bieber phase, either! When the “bad guy” artist got the chance to collab with the legend himself, of course, she jumped on the opportunity. She also shared with the world this seriously relatable throwback pic of herself and her Justin posters — which eventually turned into cover artwork for their single. Cute!
5. Camila Cabello may just have been the biggest One Direction stan. From attending One Direction concerts as a #Directioner to getting to hang out backstage with the band, Camila may have had the biggest glow-up of all time!
being in the one direction fandom taught me that during concerts you must LOSE ALL CHILL #somethingsneverchange pic.twitter.com/lzNkY8qu53

6. But did you know that Jonah Marais from Why Don’t We was actually a huge #Camilizer?
Jonah has never been shy about his love for Camila. In fact, some fans even played a prank in April where they made him think that he finally got an Instagram follow from the former Fifth Harmony gal.
GUYS THAT WASNT FUNNY I OPENED INSTAGRAM AND REALLY THOUGHT CAMILA FOLLOWED ME SCREW APRIL FOOLS THIS IS NOT OKAY
