When Selena Gomez gave away 'Most Followed' Insta Tag
In the year 2016, Selena Gomez was crowned as the 'most-followed' Instagram celebrity. Popular singers such as Ariana Grande, Dwayne Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo were left behind in the race. However, the attention and fame became too overwhelming for the Love You Like A Love song singer.
In an interview with Vogue in the year 2017, Selena Gomez addressed her achievement. She revealed that as soon as she became the most followed person on the photo-sharing site, she "sort of freaked out". She said that it became "so consuming" to her as the platform is what she woke up to and went to sleep to. Gomez stated that she was an "addict" and for her it felt like she was seeing things that she did not want to see like putting things in her head that she did not want to "care about". The Lose You To Love Me singer said that she always ended up feeling crap when she looked at Instagram. Thus, she was chose to be "under the radar" and "ghosting it a bit".
According to a report by Koimoi, the Same Old Love artist does not operate Instagram on her own. The actor has paused using social networking sites long ago. Her official Instagram handle has been handled by her assistant who takes care of the pictures and videos shared on the platform.
