Why Cher's Twitter Account Is So Iconic

Cher is a name that evokes a range of euphoric responses — some from devotees to her decades-long musical career and others from admirers of her unforgettable film roles. The latter group might cite her performances in 1987's "Witches of Eastwick," "Moonstruck," which won her the Best Actress Oscar that same year, and the 2009 musical, "Burlesque," as evidence of her enduring greatness. And, of course, there was Cher's 2018 appearance in "Mamma Mia 2" as Amanda Seyfried's grandmother and Meryl Streep's mother (despite their 3-year age difference). Even as a newcomer to the established franchise, Cher's entrance was the most memorable moment in the film — a glittering silver heel and white cane emerging from a helicopter, the theatrical reveal of a bleach blonde Cher in a white pantsuit, topped with sunglasses as nightwear. Cher's performance even prompted a film review that focused solely on her character's brief 7 minutes on screen (via The Sun). Cher is now working on a biopic collaborating with "Mamma Mia" execs Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman.

In addition to her career's successes and critical acclaim, Cher has conquered the public stage through her Twitter account, created in 2010, according to Glamour. Since then, whether she's talking about the potential book ban trend in 2022's America, devastating living conditions for the animals at Seaquarium, or posting a picture of her eyes with the caption, "Here," Cher always has something to say on Twitter. And new followers may be somewhat dazed by what they find.
