Are Blurry Photos A Trend Among Celebs?

Margot Nolan

You may notice your celebrities posting some blurry, low-quality lookalike pictures on their Instagram lately. Remember, we are talking about those who have the equipment and money to take pictures of excellent quality. So why are they doing this on purpose?
One explanation suggests that these pictures emphasize a feeling of "authentic, genuine fun and freedom", similar to going to a party and going all out. Another possibility involves the Covid-19 pandemic. Some people say that an immaculate pic in the middle of a pandemic simply feels distant and not as desirable. Whatever the reason, blurry pictures seem to be a better fit for some.
This time, we name 8 celebrities who participated in this blurry picture trend. Just a little heads-up, they're all female celebs.

#1 Ariana Grande
