It’s Taylor Swift…, who has just surpassed former first-place holder Kim Kardashian with 45.7 million followers.
Kim Kardashian has 45.6 million followers, while Beyonce, who is currently the third most followed person on Instagram has 45.1 followers.
Beyoncé is no longer the queen of Instagram. According to Tech Insider, Kim Kardashian West stole the crown from Mrs. Carter on Monday morning with her current follower tally coming in at 44,005,604? to Beyoncé’s 43,935,648?.
Tech Insider notes that Kim’s account has been growing at a faster rate than Beyoncé’s and attributes this in part to Kim’s higher post frequency as well as her tendency to actually caption things.
Beyoncé, as you know, usually opts for single emoji captions or nothing at all, but apparently the people have come out in favor of candidness. Neither party has commented on this changing of the guard but expect copious selfies soon (as well as a valiant follower push from the Beyhive).

Forbes has released their annual list of the highest paid celebrities – and Beyonce has been dethroned!
Replacing her as the top earning celebrity for this fiscal year is Floyd Mayweather.
The boxer, nicknamed ‘Money’, earned $300 million (£190m) over the last year. It shatters the record for athlete earnings, which was previously held by Tiger Woods who banked $115 million in 2008.
Mayweather’s May 2 fight against Manny Pacquiao crushed multiple boxing financial records. Not surprisingly, Pacquiao is in second place having earned $160m.
Katy Perry comes in at number three with a whopping $135m. The pop star is the highest-earning non-boxer on this year’s Celebrity 100 list, thanks mostly to her Prismatic World Tour.
Hot on her heels are One Direction with a combined $130m. US shock jock DJ Howard Stern earned $95m, just ahead of country music star Garth Brooks on $90m.
