AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift is aware that she has 50 million followers on Instagram and becomes the most followed celebrity on the social media. The "Bad Blood" hitmaker took to Instagram on Thursday, October 8 to thank her fans and her cute cats for helping her achieve the milestone on the social media.
Taylor posted a screengrab of the header of her Instagram page. It could be noted that when she took the screengrab, she had 734 posts and 50m followers. The 25-year-old singer thanked her fans as saying, "50 million followers!! Thanks so much guys." She tried to be low-profile with her accomplishment as she gave her cats credit for it. "I'm pretty sure this is just because I have cute cats though," she said.
With her new milestone, Taylor makes a quite significant gap with the celebrities who previously held the throne including Kim Kardashian and Beyonce Knowles. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star currently has 48.4 million followers on the social media while Beyonce comes after her with 47.5 million followers.
In fact, Taylor has been the most followed celebrity on the social media since September 8 when she garnered 45.5 million followers. At that time, she beat Kim who just celebrated her own milestone of reaching 45 million followers in the previous week.
Taylor has been one of the most influential pop stars, marked by being on the top of Vanity Fair's "Powers That Be" list. "Swift isn't merely the world's favorite pop star, putting up sales numbers that are nearly unfathomable in the post-Napster age. She is also using her platform to make giant companies conform to her will," the magazine explained.
