 | "Delusions" is incomplete or missing content. |
 | Daniel Larson has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator. Reason given: "; he has a firm belief in some of these delusions that is unlikely to change" Bear this in mind and think before taking their statements at face value. |
Daniel Larson has many delusions due to his mental illnesses and manipulation by trolls.
Main delusions
Grace VanderWaal
Main article: Grace VanderWaal
Many of Daniel's delusions involve Grace VanderWaal. Grace has never even publicly acknowledged Daniel. Due to trolls (as either management or Grace impersonators,) Daniel has been duped on multiple occasions into believing that he is in direct contact with Grace VanderWaal. He has been fed false information about Grace by trolls, especially around Grace's supposed death.
Some examples include:
- Believing that he is in an active relationship or otherwise in direct contact with Grace or her family.
- Believing that Grace is dying or dead.

Daniel believes that he is a world-renowned international celebrity with billions of fans; despite this he has also referred to himself as an "up and coming artist." While Daniel does have fans (and on a far smaller scale), it is not because of his music. It should be noted that the #DanielLarson hashtag on TikTok has over 1 billion views, but this does not come from people being interested in whatever music career Daniel thinks he has.
To further put things into perspective, Daniel has around 12,400 monthly listeners on Spotify; while Michael Jackson has 43.1 million; Taylor Swift, the top artist on Spotify, has 108.4 million. It might take a little while for Daniel to reach the top charts.
In addition, due to this delusion of grandeur, Daniel continually believes that he needs a contract with a record label or management, leading to trolls manipulating him under the guise of it being for his music career.
Other delusions
While Daniel has other delusions, none are as famous and pivotal to his antics as the ones above.
Law enforcement
Daniel regularly believes that FBI (as well as other law enforcement and investigation agencies like the CIA,) are in direct contact with him. In some cases, he also believes that the FBI is cooperating with him such as during the The Flexburger War, despite the fact that he has a criminal record. Trolls are probably contacting him and pretending to be part of these organizations.
A notable example of this was in the Olive Garden Incident where Daniel was completely convinced that the FBI was going to raid the building and shut down Olive Garden, even proceeding to attempt a citizens arrest on the employees.
Finances

Daniel will use fake bank account apps or budget tracker apps to create a "situation" in which he needs money. He is probably attempting to trick fans into giving him money by doing this, that is, he's begging with extra steps. Sometimes Daniel will declare an emergency about being a few billion dollars in debt.[1]
