Abstract
This paper and survey will explore the effect of social media, with its offer of direct access to celebrities and their lifestyles, as well as fan-to-fan connection, on the development of parasocial relationships. In addition to integrating previous research surrounding parasocial relationships, a survey was conducted surrounding Harry Styles fans to provide a case study on social media's impact on the development of parasocial relationships and how they can exist within fandom.
