AIBU to find it odd when people comment on celebs instagram (or Facebook) posts?

Now I am totally prepared to be told I am being U as I am not quite sure if it's a norm to comment on celebrities instagram (and Facebook which I'm not on) posts.

I have thought about it for a while as I know I lady who I am quite fond of so it's not a "if it annoys you that much just unfollow her" but I am just wondering if it is normal, she frequently posts on people like Beyoncé, Kim K (and the sisters), Nicki Minaj etc... and she puts "Looking great Hun" cringe "Wow Babe you look amazing" and "Slay!" Hmm She has also asked questions like "How are the kids" "Hope the family are well" and I find it really odd she talks to these people as if they are her friends (as far as I am aware they are not Grin)

I'm not quite sure what she expects from it, such as a reply maybe and if it makes her feel good then great. But is this a common thing to do now? I just find it all very weird. She is in her late 30s too so it's not like a teen thing.

Maybe I ABU but I just thought I'd ask if anyone on here is like that and why or would you find it odd??

Well, the celebrities you mention have got millions of instagram followers each. A quick look at their recent posts shows thousands of comments. So it's clearly normal for some people to do this. Engaging with their fans is the whole point of slebs on social media, surely?
