Selena Gomez has made history as the first woman to have over 400 million followers on Instagram. The singer is known for her hit songs, but this record-breaking achievement surpasses her musical success. Only two celebrities have more followers on the platform, both football icons: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite this, Selena’s loyal fans have nicknamed her the “Queen of Instagram.”
Selena has been known to share unvarnished, natural photos of herself on her profile recently. She also talks about important topics such as mental health and the dangers of overusing social media. The star admits that online drama can be ridiculous, especially for someone like her who is now 30 years old.
Selena has been in a head-to-head race with Kylie Jenner for the most followers over the past few weeks. Kylie previously held the lead with 382 million followers, but Selena’s fan base grew by several million people in a short period of time. This surge allegedly occurred after rumors of a dispute between the two celebs, with Kylie allegedly making fun of Selena online. Now, Selena has overtaken Kylie and become the Insta-Queen.
This record-breaking achievement is a testament to Selena’s incredible fan base and her ability to use her platform for important conversations. It will be interesting to see if anyone can surpass Selena’s record in the future. For now, we congratulate Selena for making history on Instagram.
