The Most Followed Person on Instagram Pulls Away From Competition

She now has 110 million followers on the popular app, but who is she?

Selena Gomez

It looks like Instagram’s most popular member just got that much more admired.

Anointed the app’s most followed user late last year (via Forbes), pop star Selena Gomez celebrated her 110 millionth follower on Thursday — which means her count has grown by seven million in little more than two months.

Gomez is pulling away from the competition as Taylor Swift has a (measly) 97.6 million followers on the photo sharing app. She was in second place late last year and her follower-ship has grown by a few million in that time, too.

“Thank you fam for 110,” wrote Gomez in a — you guessed it — Instagram post. “I promise I will continue to cherish my platform and speaking truth but more importantly, each and every one of you have changed my life. I’m very grateful.”

The secret to Gomez’s Insta-popularity? It appears to be a secret alchemy of style, smiles and a whole lot of kissy-face poses:
