This article explains how to find verified celebrity accounts on X (formerly Twitter), regardless of whether they have a blue checkmark or not. X offers verification to celebrities and businesses that are more likely to be impersonated, so not everyone can be verified.

Follow these simple steps to find your favorite celebrity on X without the risk of following an impersonator.

Enter the name of your favorite celebrity into the search box at the top right of the X home screen. A list of potential matches will appear.

If you see one with the verified badge, select it. Otherwise, press Enter on your keyboard.
