if you met your favourite celebrity or pop star in real life

and you met them and they took a dislike to you and were maybe even rude to you...how would you feel? would you still continue to listen to their music or watch their films?

basically would you still be a fan of their music or films if you met them and they didn't like you and were rude to you?

and your favourite celebrity happened to be american and you were british, would it put you off all things american? or would you still go on listening to and watching their content?

It happens. In the Letters to the Editor section of a music magazine, I once came across the story of a woman who changed overnight from die hard fan to hater of an American star. At a live show, he had made rude and insulting comments about people who had voted for a certain candidate...and she had voted for that candidate. 😑

On the few occasions when I've met stars at autograph signings, they've all been very pleasant.

@SW-User Ah....politics! It can get messy. I have no idea who or what my fav celebs voted for but, would I care? Probably not that much, unless we hit a topic that both me and them were emotional over.

But, y'know, if Carrie said 'Y'know, your Boris (Johnson) was such a cool guy and I loved his political viewpoint...' then I'd think 'Ok, well, that's their opinion..' and be cool with it. Onto next topic, and take mental note not to talk with her over politics again.

People are entitled to their own opinion...it doesn't make them bad people. People doing bad things, however...that's different.

@CassandraSissy Right. I think the fan who wrote the letter to the editor wouldn't have cared if she'd only heard that her fave star had voted differently. It was the pointedly rude and insulting comments that changed her mind about him.

Personally, I haven't gone through exactly the same kind of experience as the fan who wrote that letter. I do understand though how if a star represents themselves as being against a certain category of people, and you are in that category... well, you can't truly be for someone who is against you.

@SW-User I think it can be done, but with some - as you said - tact and diplomacy....

If ever I was famous (Lol!) then I'd certainly come out against (i'm from the UK) The Conservatives....but that is different than being against people who voted Conservative.

It's how you say it...
