Groupie
Significado: A devoted fan who follows a band or celebrity around, often seeking a personal connection.
Groupie originally described fans — often women — who followed rock bands on tour, seeking close access to musicians. The term has broadened to describe any overly devoted follower of a person, brand, or trend. It can be affectionate or derogatory depending on context.
