fan accounts

Dedicated admirer pages

Fan accounts are social media profiles dedicated to a celebrity, fictional character, band, or other public figure, run by devoted followers rather than the subject themselves.

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

The term distinguishes these from official accounts managed by the actual person or their team.
