Is Taylor Swift The Newest Queen Of Instagram?

by Tobi Gbile

She never misses a beat, and she is lightning on her feet: These are (likely) two of the many reasons why Taylor Swift is now the most followed person on Instagram, over former most-followed Instagram queen, Kim Kardashian West. What, or whom, helped the "Wildest Dreams" singer achieve this amazing feat, and is she really the victor over Kim K? This leaves room for speculation...

Well, it's safe to say that not only does Swift's charisma shine in her music, videos, and everyday life, but it also does on her Instagram. With every post, the starlet makes sure to bring her followers into her world, which includes a wide array of things: from her gorgeous, almost picture-perfect friends, to her adorable cat. From her in-depth interaction with her fans, to her adorable birthday posts for her fellow celebrity friends, Swift is always on top of her insta game. But, the same can arguably said about Kim K — so it's worth wondering who the real Instagram queen really is.

After all, Everyone knows that Kim Kardashian West is the selfie queen, and comes from a family tree of other selfie magicians. If this family knows how to do anything, it is how to work their angles from any angle, in any lighting, and in any place. If that is not pure talent, then I do not know what is.

While Kim K might not take pics with adorable pets, she does often include her flawless entourage, sisters, and adorable daughter in her frequent Instagrams. Oh, and she's married to Mr. 2020 himself, Kanye West, who sometimes makes an appearance as well.

If I haven't convinced you that Kim K is just as strong of an Instagram queen as Swift is, and that she could one day soon reclaim her crown, then allow me to continue: There are multiple reasons why this crown should be split, or could go either way. Here are a few reasons for you to ponder before you go back to scrolling and double tapping:

Their Squads Are Equally Fierce

Ugh, decisions, decisions. Props to Swift for taking the crown, but she should be warned: Kim K is right on her tail, and honestly, I think that they're both the queens of Instagram. The two have proven to be Instagram goddesses, regardless of the small gap between their respective millions of followers. If there were any way the crown could be split, justice could be served.
