Let’s just agree on one thing or make it a universal truth that celebrities are no strangers to online trolling.

Most of them let the negativity get to them, and others choose to fight back with wit and unbelievable comebacks.

Let's dive into the most epic responses from celebrities who mercilessly shut down online trolling, leaving critics green with envy and fans gagging for more.

Taylor Swift

When it comes to dealing with online hate, Swift has indeed learned to “Shake It Off”!

The Fate of Ophelia singer once shared that she wrote her Shake It Off song as a clap back to the “criticism and gossip and humiliation” she often faced.

According to the 35-year-old singer, she didn’t want it to feel victimised.

Moreover, even in the past, the fiancé of Travis Kelce has been outspoken about the sexist and belittling backlash she faces but seems to have only redoubled her focus on her music.

Timothée Chalamet

In 2022, Chalamet, who will soon star in Dune: Part Three, told reporters at Venice Film Festival that he believes the age of social media could result in "societal collapse".

According to the Marty Supreme star, his generation doesn't know a world that doesn’t come up with intense surveillance and judgment from being present on social platforms.

Anne Hathaway

Hathaway deals with online hate by focusing on self-love.

The actress, who will soon star in The Devil wears Prada 2, uses it as motivation, relying on her support system.

For her, the 42-year-old actress continues to act with bold performances that require her to be a "tightrope walker".

Ed Sheeran

Speaking to The Sun, the Shape of You hitmaker cited trolls as the main reason for retiring his tweeting fingers once and for all.

"I've actually come off Twitter completely. I can't read it. I go on it and there's nothing but people saying mean things," Sheeran said, adding, "One comment ruins your day. But that's why I've come off it."

However, the Perfect crooner keeps his X account active so that fans can keep up to date on all things related to new music, tour dates, and announcements.

Justin Bieber

The Sorry crooner has addressed online hate and trolling by pushing back against it publicly back in 2019 where he defended his wife, Hailey Bieber, from hurtful comments comparing her to Selena Gomez.

Bieber also made general statements about how online negativity affects him and discussed his struggles with it while highlighting that he is fighting to stay positive.
