Come to Brazil is an expression and meme associated with Brazilian Social media users.

The phrase first appeared on Twitter in April of 2008 when user @cecilab invited Loic Le Meur, head of defunct app Seesmic to come to Brazil. ^[undefined] In the next year, prominent figures such as Madonna, Brittney Spears, Blink-182, and more received a multitude of Twitter replies and YouTube comments asking them to come to Brazil. The phrase reached a tipping point when Justin Bieber joined Twitter and Brazilian fans bombarded him with "please come to Brazil" tweets. Non-Brazilian users began to notice the phrase and started saying it as a joke. ^[undefined]

The growing popularity of "come to Brazil" is the result of celebrities not frequenting the country often.

Although Brazilians are consumers of American culture, they rarely have the opportunity to see their favorite celebrities.

As a result of the tweets, more celebrities have, in fact, visited Brazil.
