1. Tina Lawson (Tina Knowles)

On Sunday, Ms. Tina Lawson -- aka Beyoncé’s mom -- posted a video of herself singing along to her daughter’s song, “Freedom.” The proud mom captioned her video, "Had a tough day yesterday! Obstacles everywhere, When I think about quitting the fight. I sing this song loud! This has become my fight song. Keep pushing! Don't give up! Cause a winner never quits on themselves." 

So essentially, we have a lot in common with Beyonce’s mom.

2. DJ Khaled

Major Key Alert. On Saturday, DJ Khaled announced a new partnership and the arrival of his very own champagne, Belaire Luxe. 

In true DJ Khaled fashion, he introduced and tested out the champagne via a super classy Instagram video, in which he is shown noshing on a “luxury breakfast” of champagne-drenched fresh fruit. Casual.

3. Emilia Clarke

Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke gave us a sneak peek at how Daenerys Targaryen unwinds after a long day. She posted a video of her and co-star Joe Naufahu (who plays Khal Moro) dancing and rapping along to the classic Tupac jam “All About U.” 

You sure know how to rock a blue hairnet, Khaleesi.

4. Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is sticking it to her body shamers again like the (Greek) goddess she is

Schumer posted two Instagrams on Wednesday of an image created by a fan. The pictures point out that Annie Leibovitz’s portrait of Schumer closely resembles the Greek goddess Aphrodite, one of the most iconic portrayals of beauty ever. 

Schumer thanked her fan for the post and said the comparison was “so cool,” reminding everyone to love the skin they’re in and remember that beauty comes in all forms. 

5. Justin Bieber

Justin took a break from his eventful life to give a rare shout out to fellow singer, Ariana Grande. Bieber posted two Instagrams -- a screenshot of Ariana’s track “Be Alright” from her new album Dangerous Woman, and a video of himself grooving and snapping along to the beat. 

Biebs graciously announced to his millions of followers: “This song is dope as f***.”

6. Britney Spears

After her fiery performance at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, Spears decided it was time for a haircut. She then posted a carefree selfie collage to Instagram showcasing the final product. Though her post was captioned, “A much needed haircut!” her hair didn’t appear to look drastically different. 

Nevertheless, just seeing Britney THIS excited about her new look made us smile. You go, girl!

7. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Over the years, The Rock has gotten more than his fair share of ridicule after an infamous old photograph of him sporting a fanny pack made its way to the Internet. He finally came clean about his love for the slightly geeky tourist-wear in a promo for his new movie with Kevin Hart, Central Intelligence. Johnson posted the comical video to Instagram announcing to the world that he is “most definitely” into the fanny packs. Clearly we all need to rethink our accessory choices.

8. Adele

After Adele invited two seemingly random girls on stage for the opening night of her “25” World Tour in Amsterdam, she discovered that she actually knew one of them. Adele was overjoyed when she realized one of the girls is the daughter of her cello player. Adele proceeded to inform the audience, “I knew her when she was a baby!” and continued to freak out accordingly. 

Luckily, a video of the priceless moment was also posted on Instagram for all to enjoy. Oh, Adele.

9. Calvin Harris

After Calvin Harris got into a car accident on May 20 he took some time away from social media. The DJ returned from his four-week hiatus from Instagram by posting this stoic looking black and white photograph of himself shirtless. However, after reports of his breakup with Taylor Swift surfaced on Wednesday afternoon, Harris promptly deleted the image from his Instagram account. BRB, we’re busy mourning the loss of this Instagram post as well as one of our favorite celebrity ships.
