fan account

Admirer's social presence

A fan account is a social media profile dedicated to a celebrity, fictional character, band, or other public figure, run by an admirer rather than the subject themselves.

Fan accounts post updates, photos, edits, and commentary about their chosen subject: I follow three Taylor Swift fan accounts.

They're distinguished from official accounts, which are verified and controlled by the celebrity or their team.
