Have you ever taken a deep dive into your past Internet incarnations, perhaps wasting an entire evening poring over your old online diary entries or your very first Instagram post? Maybe even the first tweet you fired out into the Twitterverse? No shame if you have, itâs only natural to see how much (or how little!) youâve changed since your humble online beginnings. Keeping in line with that thought, we decided to take a look back at some of our fave celebsâ first-ever tweets. From Lady Gaga to Ariana Grande to Rihanna to Olivia Rodrigo and beyond, scroll on to see who was tweeting about what, way back when!
1. Lady Gaga
Before she cultivated millions of "Little Monsters" on the social media app, Gaga's first tweet highlight her humble beginnings in the music industry.
2. Shawn Mendes
A little late to the game, the singer kept his first tweet, from his Blackberry, simple.
3. Kim Kardashian
Three months before Twitter rolled out their verification system in June of 2009, Kim entered the Twitterverse with a warning to fans about other fake accounts pretending to be her.

In 2009, the rising country star made her Twitter debut by showing fans how hard she was working on her craft.

9. J. Cole
Much like Drake, J. Cole also felt peer pressured into joining Twitter. However, he did note he didn't put up much of a fight!

Sia was very eager to start tweeting!
26. Carrie Underwood
