Did you celebrate Thanksgiving this year? Did you Instagram your turkey? Sure you did. And now you have a lot more in common with your favorite pop star than you think. Across Twitter, Instagram and all those other places we put evidence of our celebrations, pop stars are also sharing the the things they’re thankful for and the requisite pictures of drumsticks.

Britney’s always on the job. The X-Factor host posed with her boyfriend Jason Trawick and this random dude dressed up as a turkey.

Who let this jive turkey near my dressing room!!! instagram.com/p/SWu8zMm8IL — Britney Spears (@britneyspears) November 23, 2012

Katy Perry and her adorable grandmother, Ann, post with new baby Kai. Katy’s baby? Unless she got fully pregnant andgave birth this holiday weekend, we suspect that Kai belongs to someone else.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Tday. Most thankful for my friends & family & welcoming Kai to the group, 1st bab twitpic.com/bfjm7w — Katy Perry (@katyperry) November 23, 2012

Taylor Swift did not eat turkey, but she did force her band and crew to watch her babble on forever and what she’s thankful for. (Perhaps all the famous boyfriends she’s dated and the songwriting material they’ve given her?) 

Last night my band, crew, and I ate Japanese food and went around the table saying what we’re thankful for. I could’ve gone on for an hour. — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) November 22, 2012

Alas, everyone’s favorite Canadian pop icon Justin Bieber did NOT celebrate Turkey Day yesterday, but he’s still thankful for you.

Hope everyone has a great day today. Canadian Thanksgiving already passed but Im thankful for all of you. Have fun. thanks — Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) November 22, 2012

But his on-again, off-again girlfriendSelena did. Maybe Justin just wasn’t invited to the Gomez table this year.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! — Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) November 22, 2012

But wait, fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen didcelebrate Thanksgiving? Not only did she celebrate, she was allowed the honor of performing on a Thanksgiving Day Parade float! We call blasphemy. 

Getting all bundled up for @macys parade!!! I’ll be the girl dressed in blue with 5 layers of mittens and scarfs! Wave to me! #macysparade — Carly Rae Jepsen (@carlyraejepsen) November 22, 2012

Moving on. P!nk poses with her mom and her kid. Three generations of P!nk!

While Nicki Minaj grabs early Thanksgiving at an Indian spot. No turkey?

One Direction’s Harry Styles doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving (Sorry about that, England!) but he does wish that yours is great.

Lady Gaga’s fans are spending their Thanksgivings hiding out in her garage.

And Diddy’s caught posing with a turkey we have a feeling he didn’t prepare.

Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon are practically an old married couple in celebrity years.

And Miguel and his pops are practically identical.
