Gomez is currently the most influential Instagrammer, but she does have competition from other young women. Close behind are Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna and Taylor Swift, based on D’Marie’s algorithm.
To be magnanimous in victory, that seems to be the mantra of 23-year-old songstress Selena Gomez when she was officially lauded for having the most liked photo on Instagram.
Ironically, she actually beat Justin Bieber for the honor when her photo showing her sipping from a classic Coca-Cola bottle while having her red, ribbed top, and bombshell curls, got 4.1 million likes and still growing.
That is more than 400,000 better than the image shared by her former boyfriend Justin Bieber back in March this year, where he and Selena Gomez were shown kissing in an ocean, which generated 3.7 million likes.
Running at a close third place, which was the erstwhile most-liked photo on Instagram until Justin Bieber’s image dislodged it this June, is the bathroom selfie of supermodel Kendall Jenner which she posted in May 2015. Kendall’s photo showed herself lying on the floor in a sheer dress with her hair curled into hearts.
It was the most-liked photo on Instagram for 13 months and is currently 100,000 behind the Bieb’s image with 3.6 million likes.
