Kim Kardashian Is No Longer the Most Followed Person on Instagram

Find out who edged her out of the top spot.

A mere two weeks ago, Kim Kardashian beat Beyoncé as the most followed person on Instagram. But, sorry, Kim, life moves pretty fast — because as of today, Taylor Swift is now the most followed person on Instagram. At the time BuzzFeed’s article was published, Swift lead the social media platform with 45.5 million followers, while Kardashian had 45.4 and Beyoncé, a mere 45 million. (I’m at 515, if we’re keeping track.)

It’s certainly no surprise that Swift has edged her way into the top spot. She just spent an entire tour with her. She’s never not . She has . Not to mention that all her best friends are supermodels, dammit. All Instagram gold, people.

Is any of this important? Probably not. But what a time to be alive.
