If you have no idea how to use Twitter's Advanced Search feature, then this guide is the right one for you. As of the moment, most of the social media platform's users are relying on the app's default search function.

Thanks to Twitter's Advanced Search option, you can check the screenshot's date and actual statement. After that, all you need to do is input this information to see if the celebrity you are following posted it or not.
