But what actually happens when you go backstage to meet your idol? A picture paints a thousand words. From twerking (aka the #IdealSituation) to painfully awkward body language, see the best in celebrity and fan encounters below.

Ariana Grande

Avril Lavigne

'Look Ma! No hands'
No. Seriously. No hands please.

Britney Spears

Mariah Carey

When Mariah met members of her Fan Club (The Mariah Network) not only did she invite them over to her Morrocan themed room (you know the one, next to the FIVE-room closet? RIP MTV Cribs) but she gave this lucky lady above a necklace. Pure class, dahling.

'Wave dahling, Wave'

Mel B

Rihanna

If there's one celebrity you NEED to meet and greet, make sure it's Rihanna. #IdealSituation

Taylor Swift

Taylor tracked down Jill Ralke at the Grammy awards and took her backstage for the perfect photo op. Now that's gratitude for your fans.

Adele
