Manila, Philippines – May 2021 – We all have our share of celebrity crushes. It’s only natural for us to admire these famous personalities for their talents, their looks, the roles they portray, and even the causes that they advocate.
It doesn’t hurt to dream about finally meeting your celebrity crush, and even going on a date with them someday, in the hopes of getting to know them in the real world.
Users on TikTok have found a creative way to show love for their favorite stars and celebrity crushes, using the trending #DreamCelebrityDate hashtag, which now has over 16M views on the app. When taking part in this trend, users record a video of themselves with a photo of their celebrity crush, usually with local hip-hop group Ex-Battalion’s “Makukuha Rin Kita” as soundtrack.
