From career moves to relationships (hi, Justin and Hailey Bieber), celebs manifest their life on Twitter all the time. As Twitter celebrates the phenomenon with a new billboard campaign, here are just a few of the stars who manifested their dream roles and next steps on the platform.
Megan Thee Stallion never doubted she’d make it big. “I need a team bc I promise this rap sh*t gone take off for me,” she tweeted in 2014 — seven years before winning three awards at her very first Grammys, including Best New Artist.
“Hope it all wrks out,” Niall Horan wrote ahead of his 2010 X Factor audition. After leaving the show as part of the newly minted One Direction — one of the most popular musical acts ever — and going on to pursue a solo career of his own, yeah, it looks like things worked out.
Some celeb manifesting is way more overt. Hey, it works — even if the target audience never reads it! Three years before Simu Liu made history as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first Asian hero, the Kim’s Convenience star tagged Marvel in a tweet about the character of Shang-Chi. “Are we gonna talk or what,” he said.
Football player-turned-filmmaker Matthew Cherry had a strong sense he’d end up at the Academy Awards. “I’m gonna be nominated for an Oscar one day,” he wrote in 2012. “Already claimin it.” Sure enough, in 2020, Cherry’s Hair Love took home the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. “Manifest your dreams!” he tweeted on Jan. 18
Demi Lovato was already a Disney star by 2010. But that year, they set their sights on singing at the Super Bowl “onnnee dayyy.” Lovato’s performance at the big game finally happened in 2020, and the decade in between was filled with music from the Camp Rock alum.
Another tweet came true at the same game. “I bet it feels amazing to be the quarterback who says ‘I’m going to Disney World’ after winning the Super Bowl,” wrote Patrick Mahomes in 2013 — seven years before he led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory and said the magic words.
