BLACKPINK‘s fierce hip-hop/pop combination and powerful group identity have inspired a huge fandom around the world and, now, in Hollywood.
With a major festival moment at Coachella 2019 and 2023, plus a slew of celebrity supporters showing up at their current In Your Area tour, its become common to see a few famous faces supporting the girl group.
Most recently, actor Hugh Grant revealed what a big fan he is after attending BLACKPINK’s BST Hyde Park concert in London Sunday night (July 2). “Very grateful to three eleven year olds for taking me to see @BLACKPINK yesterday,” the Notting Hill actor tweeted after the event. “Am rabid Blink now. Slept with my heart hammer.”
See below for the slew of stars who are outspoken fans of Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie.

Dua Lipa
One of the K-pop star’s first overseas supporters, the “New Rules” diva met some of the members during a trip to South Korea and eventually reached out to them for a collaboration. “Kiss and Make Up” is a special track on the deluxe edition of the singer’s self-titled, debut album, and with more than 200 million streams on Spotify, we’d say this is a very powerful friendship.
