Selena Gomez is the Instagram queen once again
Selena Gomez is not only the Queen of Hearts, but she is also the Queen of Instagram. With over 381M followers, the pop star has now dethroned Kylie Jenner as the most followed female on the social media platform.
Gomez is quite active on social media these days but earlier this month, she spoke to a magazine saying how she only has TikTok on her phone.
Gomez revealed that she deleted Instagram from her phone a year ago and it is her assistant who posts Instagram content on her behalf.
Talking about why she chose to quit social media in the first place, Gomez said,
“I never got the chance to go to an actual high school. The world was my high school for the longest time, and I started getting inundated with information that I didn’t want.”

”I went through a hard time in a breakup and I didn’t want to see any of the [feedback]—not necessarily about the relationship, but the opinions of me versus [someone] else. There’d be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the mean one.”
Selena also explained that people’s mean comments would constantly make her cry. She also said that she constantly had anxiety and the whole platform seemed like a waste of time.

The reason why Gomez uses TikTok only is because she finds it less hostile. The former Disney star said,
“There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories.”
”But usually that’s filtered through [for me now]. I created a system. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them. As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging.”
Selena’s Instagram win comes just a few days after she discussed her weight fluctuations with her fans.
The Love You Like A Love Song singer came live on TikTok where she said that she is not a model and never will be.
Talking about how the Lupus medication affects her system, Gomez said,
“When I’m taking [the medication], I tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight,”
The Rare Beauty founder also admitted that her recent weight gain has taken an extreme toll on her mental health. She concluded by saying that she is trying to focus on taking care of her overall health.
She thanked her fans and supporters by saying,
“I love you guys and thanks for supporting me and understanding. And if not, go away, because honestly, I don’t believe in shaming people for their body or anything.”
