Just like a tiny little! Just like a little squirt.”

"It's just the best glamorous ever,” Anne said of the singer before noting, “That's not even a sentence. There's no grammar there." When the singer heard about Anne's fangirling, she tweeted the actress. "Loved the movie and your performance, Anne! xo", she praised.
10. Taylor Swift meeting and performing with Madonna
The La La Land actress was reduced to a weeping mess when an interviewer presented her with a video of the former Spice Girl directly addressing her.

16. Harry Styles performing with Stevie Nicks
It was a dream come true for Harry Styles to perform with Stevie Nicks, and they did so in such an intimate venue, any lucky concertgoer would have certainly felt the pangs of jealousy from everyone else.

“Taylor Hanson came to my show tonight. My life is complete,” she tweeted in 2009. “Taylor Hanson will always be awesome. I'm always going to be stoked that we share a name.” And years later, when they covered “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” Taylor fangirled once again: “1) Hanson covered 'We Are Never Getting Back Together'. 2) I didn't just watch the video of it 8 times in a row. 3) #2 might be a lie.”
