After years of bickering with Donald Trump on social media during his presidency, Chrissy Teigen became one of the first stars followed by President Joe Biden’s @POTUS Twitter account.
Teigen, who feuded with Trump several times throughout his presidency, was blocked by the account as well as the former president’s personal account in 2017.
"After 9 years of hating Donald J Trump, telling him ‘lol no one likes you’ was the straw," she wrote announcing the block.
Although she seemed unbothered at the time, hours before Biden was sworn-in as the 46th president of the United States at Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony, the star tweeted at him to remove her block for his administration.

"hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz," she wrote.
Although she noted to one follower that her begging the incoming POTUS for a follow was just a "dumb joke," it ended up coming to fruition.
Soon after Biden was sworn-in, Teigen took to Twitter again to share a screen cap revealing that the @POTUS account only follows a handful of people, all of whom are Biden’s aids or staff, as well as her.
"OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!" she wrote in response.
"my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged," she added in a follow-up tweet, taking one more jab at Trump.

Fox News confirmed on Wednesday that Twitter had a hand in helping transition key Twitter accounts related to White House business from Trump to Biden.
"As President-elect Biden is sworn in tomorrow, Twitter will facilitate the transfer of institutional White House Twitter accounts, such as @WhiteHouse, @POTUS, @VP, @FLOTUS, and @PressSec," a Twitter spokesperson told Fox News.
