Selena Gomez Becomes The First Woman To Reach 400 Million Instagram Followers

Less than a month after overtaking Kylie Jenner as the most followed woman on Instagram, Selena Gomez has become the first female to reach 400 million followers on the social network.

Earlier this week, Gomez took to Instagram to defend ‘courageous’ Iranian teenagers who were detained after dancing to hers and Rema’s song ‘Calm Down’ in a TikTok video. 

She is the third most followed person on Instagram behind footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, with 563 million followers, and Lionel Messi, with 442 million. With 382 million fans on the popular app, Jenner is close behind Gomez.

As part of her celebration, she posted photos of herself with fans with the caption “Wishing I could hug all 400 million of you.”
