Move over Taylor! Because there is a NEW Instagram queen in town

by

It seems that Taylor Swift has been trumped in the social media stakes and by a member of her own squad no less. 

That's gotta hurt. 

Yep, pop star and Taylor's BFF Selena Gomez has just pipped Tay to the post this week by stealing her crown of the most-followed person on Instagram.

While Taylor is sitting pretty at 69.2 million followers, Selena just edged up to 69.5 at the time of writing making her the most popular person on the photo-sharing app. 

And we can't say we are super surprised. 

Taylor may have to a large fan-base, but the Hands to Myself singer is much more active on the platform consistently posting a hearty mix of personal and work photos as well as her amazing style. 

Despite winning the social media stakes, Selena has admitted in a recent radio interview that she would love to do a proper collaboration with her pal. 

"The opportunity has always been there and I think she is one of the most talented songwriters I have ever met. I don't know – I would want it to be a moment but we'll see." 

Meanwhile other Instagram queens such as Kim Kardashian remain well behind on 63.6 million followers while sister Kylie is on a respectable 54.3.
