Fan Screaming At Madison Beer Performance Bereal

2024Redraw template / fan art promptdeclining

Also known as: Madison Beer BeReal Redraw · Draw Your Ship Prompt (May 2024)

Fan Screaming at Madison Beer Performance is a redraw meme template based on a BeReal screenshot showing a fan losing their mind at a Madison Beer concert. The image went viral on X (formerly Twitter) at the end of April 2024, and within days the art community turned it into one of the year's most popular "draw your ship" prompts, with thousands of fan-art redraws flooding the platform1.

Overview

The meme comes from a BeReal screenshot that perfectly captures concert fan energy. The image uses BeReal's signature dual-camera layout: the main frame shows Madison Beer performing on stage, while a small selfie window in the top-left corner shows the fan mid-scream, mouth wide open, face contorted in pure excitement. The contrast between Beer's polished performance and the fan's unhinged reaction gave artists the perfect two-character template. One figure is composed and glamorous, the other is completely losing it. That dynamic made it irresistible for fandom redraws, where people swap in their favorite character pairings1.

On April 30, 2024, X user @66666666kg posted the BeReal screenshot with the caption "This is so fucking funny." The post blew up fast, pulling in over 126,000 likes and 27,000 reposts within two days2. The composition was doing a lot of the heavy lifting: the BeReal interface made it look like a candid, unfiltered moment, and the fan's over-the-top reaction was instantly relatable to anyone who'd ever lost composure at a concert.

The next day, May 1st, X user @artist_astra quote-reposted the image and wrote "New draw your ship prompt just dropped," framing the screenshot as a creative template rather than just a funny photo. That repost racked up over 55,000 likes and 6,500 reposts in a single day, effectively launching the redraw trend.

How It Spread

Redraws started flooding X within 24 hours of @artist_astra's prompt. Artists posted their versions as quote-reposts under both the original post by @66666666kg and @artist_astra's callout, creating two parallel threads of fan art2.

On May 2, 2024, the trend hit full speed. X user @tsuyomediva posted an Avatar: The Last Airbender redraw that picked up over 8,500 likes in under a day. That same day, @deepuccino dropped a Honkai Star Rail version that pulled 14,000 likes in the same timeframe2. Also on May 2nd, @rezi_jellyfish posted a Jujutsu Kaisen redraw that hit over 15,000 likes before the day was out.

The template worked across virtually every fandom because the setup was universal: one character performing or existing confidently, and another character losing their entire mind over them. Ship artists (those who draw romantic pairings) adopted it especially hard, using the "screaming fan" position for whichever character in their pairing would realistically be more obsessed with the other.

How to Use This Meme

The template follows BeReal's dual-camera format. Artists typically draw one character (the "performer") taking up most of the frame, shown from a slight distance or mid-action. In the top-left corner, a smaller inset shows the second character in an exaggerated screaming or excited reaction, mimicking the selfie camera. The key is the contrast: one character is cool, composed, or unaware, while the other is completely unhinged with excitement. Most versions use the same rough proportions as the original BeReal screenshot, with the selfie window occupying roughly one-sixth of the image. Fandom pairings, anime ships, and OC (original character) duos are the most common subjects.

Fun Facts

The entire trend went from zero to peak in roughly three days, with the original post on April 30 and the biggest redraws landing on May 2.

BeReal, the app that created the screenshot format, is designed to capture unfiltered moments. The meme is arguably the most visible piece of BeReal content to cross over into mainstream internet culture in 20242.

@artist_astra's reframing of the screenshot as a "draw your ship prompt" is what turned a funny concert photo into a full-blown art meme. Without that specific call to action, it likely would have stayed a one-off viral image.

Derivatives & Variations

Anime and game fandom redraws:

The most popular variants came from Jujutsu Kaisen, Honkai Star Rail, and Avatar: The Last Airbender fandoms, with individual redraws reaching tens of thousands of likes each.

OC and original ship versions:

Artists used the template for their own original characters, keeping the BeReal frame layout but filling it with non-fandom content[2].

Non-romantic versions:

Some redraws played on the format for comedy rather than shipping, casting the "screaming fan" as reacting to food, pets, or inanimate objects[2].
