It was a “Falling for this season 🍂🍁🍃.” post by Lindsay Lohan which was clear-cut. That feeling’s power was only for the millions of those who have been her fans since day one. The post, simple with no fancy pictures or lengthy captions, appeared that the audience was directly sensing the autumn warmth and simultaneously Lohan’s magnetism was still very strong. Public response was instant and overwhelmingly positive thus confirming the long-established connection that Lohan has with American pop culture.
The comment section quickly became a digital love letter. One admirer termed her “such an icon,” and topped his comment with an avalanche of fire and clapping hands emojis. Another person simply wrote, “You + fall = perfection ❤️,” and their writing truly mirrors the general sentiment that Lohan and the snuggly season are the ultimate pair. The affection was so immense that one user confessed that the post made his heart “pop.”
The celebrity was generally respected, but a clear undercurrent was flashed: most of the audience wanted the actress back on-screen. One commenter pointed out the public’s sentiment through his words: “cant wait 4 the next movie – series 😍🙌,” implying that she is still very much wanted and her recent comeback has led to a situation where people want to see the actress more than before. Another admirer corroborated this─ he claimed her films to be the best and particularly referenced Lohan’s Saturday morning flicks with the phrase: “all of your movies also as well Freakier Friday and Freaky Friday are my favorites anti-stress comfort movies.” The comment, while perplexing the title of the favorite body-swap comedy, does underline the fact that Lohan’s filmography and her fans’ trust in her as a continuously reliable source of comfort and delight are firmly rooted.
On the other hand, the spotlight was not merely on the past glories or the unwritten future work. The post unmasked some serious topics and one individual even suggested that Lohan’s present home being one of the UAE and the global political scenario are interlinked. He/she commented, “Do you guys really live in the country that is committing genocide in Sudan? I encourage you to reconsider or at least donate funds to support the people’s struggle there!” This post along with the activist hashtags indicates that the influence of celebrities and their chosen places and lifestyles always come under the microscope in the context of world politics. It is always a reminder that even the most innocent of messages can turn into a debate if you are a celebrity with high status.
