In these videos, not only are people living out the dream of not being painfully single, but they’re having fun, experimenting, and attempting to recreate the effortless chic and confidence exuded by those who, much to the envy of fans, get to date musicians. As with many TikTok trends, these videos are an excuse to get stupidly dressed up and wear stuff most wouldn’t have the confidence to step outside in. To do so, TikTok creators have been turning to the app to show off outfits planned for rockstar ‘girlfriend’ occasions that are more than unlikely to happen. Of course, we’re going to want to get in on that. We’re shown a life of extravagance, endless partying, and once in a lifetime experiences that we still believe could be true even after musicians release their ‘tell all’ documentaries. We fall for the false promise sold to us by an expert marketing team who spend their days capitalising on misplaced hope.
Every love song sung by an artist leaves out a detailed description of appearance to make each person believe the song could be about them. Near every generation has grown up with many films based on falling in love with a musician. Pop culture bashes the idea out to an audience ready to lap it up. Many generations have an evident fascination with the rockstar ‘girlfriend’ idea. You have to admit, having a rockstar lover appears to have many perks – having unlimited funds to create coordinated, over the top designer outfits being just one the internet is most obsessed with. The intrigue perhaps spans from living vicariously through the fantasy. As long as there have been celebrities, there have been celebrity partners and the media, the fans, and the haters have always been desperate to seek out any juicy gossip they can get. The obsession with celebrity couplings is not a new one.

From the classic pairings making up ABBA, the tumultuous public relationship of Pam and Tommy and the groupie lifestyle of Almost Famous to the oddly perfect love matches of Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, the life of a rockstar’s girlfriend has always been seen as one full of fun, where the problems of us mere mortals hold no weight. The heart-wrenching, tear-inducing song lyrics written about you, them dedicating songs to you at their concerts, you tagging along on tour and attending celeb-filled after parties celebrating the night’s earlier win at the Grammy awards.
