Selena Gomez became the first woman to have 400 million followers on Instagram on Friday, just weeks after dethroning Kylie Jenner as the social media platform.

Hot on her heels is Kylie Jenner, who has a whopping 382 million followers on the app, which she uses to share photos from her life and promote her makeup brand, Kylie Cosmetics.

Gomez, 30, is the third most followed person on Instagram behind footballers Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 562 followers, and Lionel Messi, who has 442 million people watching his every move.

The feat comes less than a month after surpassing Jenner as the most followed woman on the social media platform.

The Wolves singer was previously the most followed woman on the site in 2019 before Ariana Grande surpassed her in posting, and Kylie, 25, later surpassed them.

Many of the singer’s fans have rejoiced at the news, proclaiming Selena ‘the queen of Instagram’.

On Twitter, one user wrote: ‘Selena Gomez is once again the most followed woman on Instagram. The Queen is back!

Another user said: ‘She’s back on her throne. Selena, queen of Instagram!’ while a third called her: ‘The OG Queen of Instagram’.

A fourth said: ‘Selena Gomez is now the most followed female artist on Instagram and Tiktok. A world queen.

Although she has millions of followers, Selena recently told Vanity Fair that she has moved away from social media and only has the TikTok app on her phone.

The star added that she was hurt by the ‘mean’ comments from trolls and that she also considered using platforms too much a ‘waste of time’.

She said: ‘People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people are detailed. They write paragraphs that are so specific and petty. She would be crying constantly. She constantly had anxiety… she couldn’t take it anymore. It was a waste of time.

‘There are wonderful things about social media – connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories.

On a roll: Just three weeks ago, she surpassed Kylie Jenner to become the most followed woman on the social media platform.

“But usually that leaks out (for me now). I created a system. Everything I do I send to my assistant, who publishes them. As far as feedback, my team will put together some things that are encouraging.’

She has now created a ‘system’ where she has an assistant that serves as a barrier between her and the comments by posting on her behalf.

‘I never had a chance to go to a real high school. The world was my high school for a long time and I started getting information that I didn’t want,” she explained.

Privacy: Although she has millions of followers, Selena recently told Vanity Fair that she has withdrawn from social media and only has the TikTok app on her phone.

“I had a hard time in a breakup and I didn’t want to see any of the (feedback), not necessarily about the relationship, but the opinions of me versus (someone) else. There would be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the bad.

“The only thing I have on my phone is TikTok because I find it a little less hostile. There are wonderful things about social media: connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories.
