The first part of the article presents the current state of research on the issue of political celebritization. The second part explains the context of the analysis. The third part presents selected implications of the mediatized digital reality for the process of political celebritization. The paper contains an analytical consideration of this subject, using a literature review and analysis and synthesis methods. Traditional media and media platforms significantly influence the media visibility of political celebrities.
