The Most Followed Person On Twitter Is Not Bieber, Swift Or The Kardashians

If you want to be at the top of the social media ladder, you're going to have to find 90 million and one people to follow you. Good luck.

So, it’s Katy Perry, and honestly I’m not surprised.

You see, each of those names in the headline of this story (and Katie) is connected in some scandalous way, not forgetting Miss Selena Gomez, who currently has the most Instagram followers.

If you’re wondering how Katy Perry is connected to this mess, she’s currently dating Orlando Bloom who is super close with Selena. And if you remember, Selena and Orlando were spotted a few weeks back being super intimate, although no kissing, mind you.

While Katy Perry was cool with it, people probably started following her to see if she would slip up at any time.

Well, she didn’t hasn’t yet.

When Twitter announced that Katy Perry had the most Twitter followers by doing this:

She responded three hours later in the most casual way:

Perry’s closest rival is Bieber, of course, with 83 million followers, but if she keeps up with tweets such as the one below, she may be the frontrunner for some time to come:
