For the record, Selena Gomez is STILL the queen of Instagram, with a following of 142 million plus and has been the most followed person on the Gram since 2016.  Just recently, it was founded that Selena’s following is made up of 2 percent of the entire world’s population.

 

 

And just last week, Selena topped her OWN Instagram photo record and it was just a simple picture of Selena holding a cocktail during New York Fashion Week.

 

 

This pic is now Selena’s most liked Instagram photo, racking up close to 11 million likes.  It’s now the 13th most liked photo on the Gram and Selena’s kidney transplant photo that was taken last year is the 14th most liked photo.  That picture has been liked 10.668 million times however, the overall number was accumulated over an entire year.

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith

As of right now, Kylie Jenner takes the lead for the most liked Instagram photo – actually, baby Stormi should take credit for this one.  The photo racked up over 18 million likes.

And we can’t forget about Justin Bieber aka Selena’s ex.  His photo with fiancé, Hailey Baldwin received 13 million likes as well.  Maybe it was his announcement of the engagement that had something to do with it.

Here’s something to think about – while pictures of the Biebs and Kylie took some time to build the millions of likes, Selena’s simple cocktail photo hit 10 million in less than a week.
