Ever wondered what's on your favorite celebrity's phone (ya know, in a non-weird way)? MarieClaire.com teamed up with Keke Palmer to unlock some cellular secrets, and got details on the actress/singer's personal texts, pictures, and even her lock screen. Let's collectively swipe right, shall we?

What's your favorite account on Instagram? "This is a hard question. Probably this girl in Dallas. Her Instagram is @trvpgirldallas (opens in new tab). She's 17, in high school, and a dancer. She's really dope."

What was the last random thing you screen-grabbed? "A guy that I like recently tweeted something, so I screen grabbed that!"

What was the last text you sent? "It was s to my home girl...a screen grab I did of a guy that I like!"

What's the oldest photo on your phone? "A photo of my mom and I from when I was a toddler. It's a picture of us at church from '96 or '97."

The newest? "A photo I took outside that my publicist took of me in my ~look~ for the day."

What's the most high profile number in your phone? "It depends on who you're talking to. Someone could say Drake, and someone could say Queen Latifah."

Your most played song on Sound Cloud? "A song by SahBabii called 'Pull Up.' I really like it because of the beat, the beat is so chill. Don't look at the video, though. I've noticed about hip-hop and life in general, all these guys are doing so many gimmicks. Everyone wants to be a gimmick of what a rapper was back in the day. But the beat is nice, and the melodies are good."

Who was the last person you called? "I'm sure it's someone very boring like my mother. Wait, my best friend Brittany, actually!"

What was the last thing you Google searched? "The 2017 Shoedazzle collection (opens in new tab). It's available now, but we were sold out. So I was making sure my girl was getting the shoes she wanted."

What was the last thing you bought using your phone? "My lashes through Venmo."

What do you have filed away in notes? "You would think I was psychotic if you read my notes. They're so all over the place. They say things like 'camaraderie,' 'protecting,' 'passion'—I have weird anecdotes, and captions I have to post but didn't post yet."

What's your phone's lock screen photo? "It's me. It's a picture of me sitting down. It was my niece, but then I wanted the lock screen something more guarded. Now it's me because I didn't want anyone to see her for some weird reason."

How many unread messages are in your little red bubble email counter right now? 769.

And finally, what's your weirdest phone habit? "I text with my elbows up. When I'm texting my elbows go up. Literally, my friends put my elbows down."
