Rewind the clock to the stars' first Twitter moments as we celebrate a decade of tweeting mayhem...
For anyone that's been tweeting away happily for a while now - perhaps even since the very beginning - prepare to feel seriously old because Twitter just turned TEN YEARS OLD!
Yes, the social media giant - the site that now has an estimated 332 million active users - is one decade old this week, which is KINDA incredible when you think about.
In that time we've had breaking news coverage like NOTHING else was able to deliver, social faux pas' we'll probably never be able to live down and, of course, some SERIOUS Twitter rants from the world's most controversial celebrities.
To celebrate ten years of Twitter it's time to take a trip down memory lane at the FIRST tweets sent by your fave stars...
Louis Tomlinson’s first tweet…
Love this one from One Direction's Louis from 2010 - his first tweet was to say how much he LOVED 2009 X Factor star Lucie Jones! We're sure the feeling's mutual by now!
@luciejones1 you are an absolute babe ha . Fantastic voice my favourite from last year x

Sam Smith’s first tweet…
The 'Stay With me' star talking about a 'dirty' pic... hmmm, don't worry it's not what you think!

Good god our Ellie was an emotional young thing back in 2009 by the sounds of it! Wonder if she has those tears under control now?

Two things.... 1 - 2009 Calvin Harris needed to buy some deodorant. 2 - REMEMBER THE TING TINGS?!!
