Selena Gomez is a growing icon with a massive music career, a stunning makeup line and an acting career which makes her fans support her even more. Her series Only Murders in the Building dominated Hulu and with the third season adding Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep to the cast, it is no doubt that it’ll only get better.

Her talent is just as big as her influence in social media. Her Instagram following is growing non stop no matter how many ups and downs she may face. Although the growth of her follower count has been steady, it is enough to make her one of the most followed people on the social media.

Selena Gomez Has Almost 400 Million Followers On Instagram

Recently Selena Gomez hit 398 Million followers on Instagram, making her only 2 Million away from hitting 4 Million. If she manages to do so, she will be the first woman online to hit such a number and the first Hollywood celebrity to do so. Although many would believe for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to have that title, he is far away in that league from the singer-songwriter. The wrestler-turned-actor is currently sitting at a total of 368 Million followers on Instagram.

Although the title used to sit with Johnson, it is now with Gomez. If things keep going for her as they are on the platform, she would be gaining a massive title, leaving behind Kylie Jenner and all the Kardashians. The rise in Gomez’s followers started occuring because of her fued with Hailey Beiber. Becoming the first woman to ever do so would be huge for the singer as she has been gaining a lot of backlash from toxic fans and this would be a great way to stop them from saying anything without actually doing anything.

Selena Gomez Fights Against Toxicity Between Fans And Celebrities

Unfortunately for the actress, she has found herself in the centre of various fragments of a drama she wants nothing to do with. Ever since Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber have tied the knot, there has been a beef between Selena Gomez and the model, while the singer chooses not to say anything negative about her, her fans aren’t as sympathetic.

To take matters into her own hands, Gomez asked her fans to be kind to everyone around them whether they know someone personally or not. Toxic fans are common to find, especially for a celebrity icon like her. Her fan following is so massive that anything can be taken out of context and turned into a bigger matter within seconds. To prevent that, Gomez has always been gentle and sweet towards her fans, trying to show her true self without any lies or filters.
