Prom season is still going, and if we had the chance to go to prom with our dream date back in the day, I’m sure we would all name some celebrity whose posters were on our wall and that we were crushing on at the time. But what happens when your wish is actually granted? These young people reached out to stars they are huge fans of to ask them to prom, and as you will find out, they were lucky enough to go arm-and-arm with the famous folks on the big night. Here are 9 celebrities who made prom a night to remember for some of their biggest fans.

Evelyn Lozada

I’m sure you remember when 37-year-old Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada decided to accept a 19-year-old student’s request to be her date for his senior prom (I know what you’re thinking when it comes to their ages…I didn’t know 19 year olds were in high school like that either). In a low-cut gown with a super-high split, Lozada snapped pictures and had a ball with Anthony, a young man from Michigan. Lozada actually paid to fly herself to Detroit from LA, and also paid for the fancy car they rode in, and a fancy dinner.

Lucky! Not sure if you knew about this one, but the year Tupac Shakur died, a big fan wrote a letter to his fan club and asked if he would be her date to prom. He surprised her big time by coming to her home and talking to her family about taking her to prom, paying for her dress and more. According to AllHipHop, the rapper gave the family $1500 towards getting prepared for the big night. He would eventually pick her up in a limo and take her to the dance. While there, he was swarmed by students who wanted autographs and pics with him.

Before she became one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, in 2007, Rihanna took part in MTV’s now defunct reality show, Once Upon a Prom. She went to prom with an extremely nervous but excited teen named Richard, who could barely look her in her eyes when she arrived to go to prom with him in a fancy stretch Hummer limo. She snapped a cute prom photo with him, and as always, was a fashion killa in cobalt blue.

Another Once Upon A Prom participant, Taylor Swift made prom a night to remember for one lucky senior in Alabama. The guy, Whit Wright, along with 49 other young men, applied to be her date back in 2008. According to People, Wright was super stoked about being her date, because he thought he wasn’t going to have a date at all: “I thought I was going to prom solo and I’m going with Taylor Swift! It’s just been the best senior year I can possibly imagine.”

Brandy

Before Kobe Bryant entered the NBA to quickly become one of the best players to ever pick up a basketball, he was finishing up high school at Lower Merion in Philadelphia. Knowing that his future in the NBA was going to be blindingly bright, I’m sure Bryant could have taken any girl in the school he wanted to. But instead, he asked Brandy when he had the chance after meeting her at an Essence event. In 1996, with her signature braids and his Colgate white smile, they were an adorable couple for the big night.

Just this month, Carly Monzo of Pennsylvania got the shock of her life when snowboarder and Olympic gold medalist Shaun White showed up at her prom to be her date. Monzo posted a clip online asking White to be her date, but she never received a response. He surprised her by appearing on stage with his band, Bad Things, freaking out all the young people at the dance (in a good way). He eventually danced the night away with Monzo and took pics with her and other students.

Dwyane Wade

Just last year, Dwyane Wade made the wishes of a fan come true in Florida by being her date. Like many other young people these days, the teen, Nicole Muxo, made a YouTube video, asking for the handsome baller, who she said is her favorite player, to roll with her. He of course obliged her. After she sent the high school’s address to Wade through direct message, he messaged her saying that he couldn’t go, but then surprised her by showing up at the dance to bust a move on the dance floor with her.

Lovato was in a relationship with Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers) and a huge Disney star when she decided to fulfill a promise she made to an old friend: they said when they were kids that they would go to prom together. According to People, she said this about the big night on social media: “A promise made in kindergarten finally coming true … Prom with Nolan!” Boyfriend Joe Jonas even rented a Rolls Royce for Lovato and her friend Nolan so that they could arrive fresh to death.

A young girl named Kennedy, who is battling brain cancer and is currently in hospice care, was thrown a surprise prom by her classmates at Carnegie Vanguard High School in Houston, where they crowned her prom queen and gave her an honorary diploma. They did all this to get attention so that they could get a message to rapper Drake, via the hashtag, #DrakeForKen, letting him know that Kennedy wanted to meet him. The rapper saw the social media campaign, which became a trending topic on Twitter. He ended up visiting her, talking with her for a while, and even let her touch his famous furry eyebrows.
