Celebrity interaction
One of the only celebrities I actually pay attention to is Tyler, The Creator. He is one of my favorite musicians, and he is a part of the larger rap collective Odd Future. He mainly interacts with fans through the use of Twitter (@fucktyler), however Odd Future occasionally posts Polaroids pertaining to their tour to their tumblr account (golfwang.tumblr.com/). Tyler is a 20-year-old kid from California, who honestly doesn't care about an image, fame, or anything. He frequently tweets at celebrities to call them dumb, or playfully poke fun (he did this with Bieber enough to actually meet him). The popularity of Tyler has only increased with how he presents himself. He tweets what he feels and whatever he wants with no regards to the consequences to himself. This realness and accessibility to him has helped fans identify with him, and given him a more widespread fan-base than he would have had otherwise.
