Kylie Jenner Instagram reign is officially over. As of Wednesday, February 22, Selena Gomez has passed Kylie Jenner with a massive 381 million followers on Instagram. Jenner, on the other hand, has 380 million. For a few days now, fans of the stars have noticed that Selena Gomez was going to take over Kylie’s reign, and it’s now it’s official. People have even created TikToks and videos on the subject.
This is not the first time Selena Gomez has broken records. In 2018, the singer was also the most followed personality on Instagram with 139 million followers. She made the choice in 2017 to delete the application from her phone. In many interviews, she explained that Instagram had become “really dangerous” and that she “felt like she wasn’t pretty enough.” Under Instagram’s toxic influence, she made the decision to “take a break” and let her team manage it for her.
In a 2022 interview with Good Morning America, Selena said she left social media to focus on her mental health. “I haven’t been on the internet in four-and-a-half years… It has changed my life completely,” she said. “I am happier. I am more present. I connect more with people It makes me feel normal.”
And now, she’s back. In January, Selena Gomez announced her return to the platform, captioning a selfie,”Wait, are you telling me I’m back on instagram?” Since then, she’s used her account to share candid, unedited photos and provide fans an insight into her personal life.
Kylie Jenner is still a record-breaker, though. In January 2022, she became the first woman to reach the 300 million follower mark on Instagram. She surpassed Ariana Grande with 289 million fans.
For now, Selena Gomez is the third most followed person on Instagram, behind Cristiano Ronaldo (550 million) and Lionel Messi (432 million). The Argentinian footballer holds the record for the most liked photo on Instagram, with 69.4 million likes for the photo of his victory at the FIF World Cup in Qatar last December.
