Taylor Swift
Meet Ashley Leechin. She is an actor and former nurse who looks a whole lot like pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Ashley said she has been told she looks like the Shake It Off singer for years, but it wasn't until the actor began posting videos to her TikTok that people really took notice.
The resemblance even caught the eye of Taylor Swift herself.
In October 2022, Taylor commented on one of Ashley's videos, saying: "My mom just saw this and said 'she looks like you.'"
The TayTay twin now has more than two million followers on TikTok.
Ed Sheeran
Seeing double? Mancunian Ty Jones is a real-life Ed Sheeran impersonator.
Ty has been mistaken for the singer ever since he was a teenager.
But as a long-time fan of the singer, Ty's resemblance got him a chance to meet the real Ed Sheeran at a concert.
Ty says he now struggles to go to Ed's concerts, as too many people mistake him for the Thinking Out Loud singer.
But it's not just strangers who mistake Ty for Ed Sheeran, Ty's own daughter gets confused sometimes too.
In a video posted to his social media, Ty's daughter looks at pictures of Ed Sheeran and says "Dada". How cute!
Olivia Rodrigo
Meet Trishi, a Filipino social media creator who looks a whole lot like singer Olivia Rodrigo.
Earlier this year, she made a TikTok video where she did her make-up and hair similar to Olivia's look in her new music video for her song Obsessed, and it quickly went viral.
It now has more than 2.8 million views and Olivia herself even commented saying: "I thought that was me."
