There may be some *Bad Blood *after Beyonce and Kim Kardashian take a gander at this...

Taylor Swift is the most followed person on Instagram in the whole WORLD.**

More news!

The *1989 *performer topped 50 million followers on Insta yesterday.

Clearly excited with her efforts, she shared an image captioned: "50 million followers!!"

*"*Thanks so much guys. I’m pretty sure this is just because I have cute cats though, Swifty continued.

Yes, we're sure it's because of your cats too.

Ol' Swifty beat *Keeping Up With The Kardashians *star Kim Kardashian, who has 48.4 million, while following closely behing with 47.5 million is Beyonce "Queen Bey" Knowles.

After those ladies, comes Selena Gomez with 46.2 million and Ariana Grande with 44.9 million.

We've current got 438 Insta-followes...catching up to you girls!

According to Charles Porch, the head of global creative programs at Instagram, the appeal of these celebrities’ accounts on the social media platform lie in being "authentic and oftentimes really fun."

Charles told *Reuters: "*What Instagram is doing is giving all these ladies a direct line to their fans and, by having a direct line, they’re controlling their message."

Oh and did we mention Swift also has 64.5 million Twitter followers.

Fake followers, fake account followers (at least we tell ourselves this to make our 438 followers feel better, of course.)
