6 celebs who went to prom with their fans

Plucking up the courage to ask your date to prom is pretty daunting, right? What about if your dream prom date is the all-singing, all-dancing, Oscar-winning actress, Emma Stone? We're full of the jitters just thinking about it.

Shooting for the stars on behalf of mere mortals everywhere, US teen (and smooth operator) Jacob Staudenmaier sent and won over the internet in the process. She replied with a letter saying: "Jacob, thanks for making the greatest proposal I have ever received. I'm in London working, but I hope you have the best time at prom..."

How Emma Stone turned down a teenagers 'promposal'

"I do see Gosling around the eyes."

Bad luck, JS. Stone and Staudenmaier aside, here are the celebs who *did* accept the +1 invites and cemented their dates' status in the high-school hall of fame.

Kylie Jenner

What could possibly make up for the girl of your dreams turning down your invitation to school prom? Well how about Kylie Jenner taking her place.

19 year old Albert Choa had jaws dropping at the Rio Americano prom in Sacramento when he was joined, on one of the biggest nights of a teenager's life, by one of the most famous women in the world.

Kylie was followed by a film crew of course, so expect to get the full story on a future episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, of course.

Rihanna

One shy teen, named Richard, work, work, work, work, worked himself into a tizzy after a young RiRi surprised him as her prom date, all thanks to MTV's throwback reality show, Once Upon a Prom.

came, she wore a corsage, she conquered. She even posed for a couples' prom photo, complete with star-scattered curtain backdrop that matched her prom-appropes dress perfectly.

Justin Bieber

OK, so technically Biebs video-linked to one prom and crashed another. Still counts though, right?

JB invited Cady Eimer to the Billboard Awards after she made the musician a rap titled One Less Lonely Prom. In classic Bieber style, he invited her via a surprise video message on her actual prom night. Suave, Justin.

A few years later, JB crashed a prom happening near his recording studio, caused utter pandemonium and danced with the Prom Queen.

On a separate occasion, one avid fan took a cardboard cut-out of the Biebs as her prom date, but we're not entirely convinced that *that* counts...

Katy Perry

Pulling a Bieber, Katy Perry crashed a prom in Melbourne and then excitedly tweeted: "I totes just crashed a prom!!!"

According to awestruck onlookers (and IRL video footage) the star performed Beyonce's Single Ladies, complete with choreography, before leaving after 15 minutes. Katy Elizabeth Hudson (yup, that's her real name), making teenage dreams come true since 2K10.

Taylor Swift

Picture the scene: you're new at school; you recently transferred and you haven't made much of an impression. Proms coming up and you have no one to go with. What would send your social status soaring? Taylor Swift as your date, that's what.

Well that's pretty much exactly what happened to one unassuming guy named Whit, who saw all his dreams realised thanks, again, to Once Upon a Prom. The couple slow-danced and dined out on fried chicken. Wildest dreams do come true, eh Whit?

Miley Cyrus

Hardcore Smiler, Matt Peterson, promposed to Miley in 2K14 via a video message that quickly went viral. Miley tweeted back saying: "Dear Matt Peterson, I don't think I'll be able to make it to prom BUT why don't you come to my AZ show & hang w me? Don't forget a corsage".

Matt joined Miley on her Bangerz tour and got down on bended knee to present her with a corsage. Miley, in turn, serenaded him onstage. Free tix, a personal serenading sesh and chilling backstage with your fave?

Time to start promposing to your number one, stat.
