At a recent Thrive Global conference on music and health, Instagram queen Selena Gomez revealed that she has never truly cared about becoming the most followed person on this social media platform.

“I appreciate this platform and want to continue using it for what I can do. However, the numbers are just numbers. Honestly, I think that’s what keeps me in check. It’s also a big responsibility,” emphasized Selena Gomez.

Back in February, Selena Gomez surpassed Kylie Jenner to become the most followed woman on Instagram – a title she previously held in 2019. Currently, the singer’s Instagram account has 429 million followers.

Selena previously revealed in Vanity Fair magazine that she limits her use of social media as it negatively impacts her mental health. The actress now only has the TikTok app on her phone. Regarding her Instagram account, Selena relies on her assistant to post content to avoid seeing negative comments.

Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily magazine, Selena stated, “I do all my posts by texting my assistant. I do it because it’s such a huge part of why I feel good mentally. I’m completely clueless about pop culture, and it makes me so happy. Maybe not for everybody, but for me, it’s been my lifesaver.”

Selena Gomez is now a star on every social media platform. Her YouTube channel has 34.1 million subscribers, and Selena Gomez’s Facebook also has a whopping 89 million followers.
