Morphology

engage + their + fan

The meaning is directly compositional: 'engage' (to interact/attract/respond) combined with 'fans' (supporters) yields the straightforward sense of interacting with one's supporters. The possessive 'their' only marks whose fans they are and the construction is a common, non-idiomatic verb + object pattern that a B1 learner who knows the parts can infer.

Etymology

Engage their fans comes from engage meaning to grab and hold attention and fans meaning supporters. Imagine a singer asking questions or sharing stories to pull the crowd closer — that's why the phrase means 'to interact or connect' with people who support you.
