Country-pop singer Taylor Swift is the new Instagram queen, defeating the millions of followers of television reality star Kim Kardashian-West. 

Swift is now back on top with 45.7 million followers on Instagram, while Kim Kardashian West comes in second place with 45.6 million followers. Taylor stole the Instagram crown from Kim Kardashian-West, who also stole the crown from hot momma and singer Beyonce just a few weeks ago.

Recently, Taylor has been facing a lot of negative feedback on her latest music video entitled "Wildest Dreams" in which many people believed her music video crew disrespected African people. Fortunately, her most talked about music video made a great impact on her IG account since a lot of people were interested with her response about the issue with her "Wildest Dreams" music video. Plus, reports said that she might have gained some of Kim's followers after the MTV Video Music Awards last August 30, 2015, where the two closely watched Kanye's speech side by side.

It was since September that the country pop singer has been updating her social media accounts with photos from her "1989" world tour, which includes Alanis Morrissette, Ellen DeGeneres, Lisa Kudrow, Justin Timberlake, and her bestfriend, Selena Gomez.  

Meanwhile, Swift's shot of herself doing the meerkat thing with her cat hit two million likes in one day. For comparison's sake, Taylor Swift only follows 73 IG users. Kim Kardashian, who is apparently less exclusive, follows 96 IG users, and the Queen B follows none at all.

Below are other celebrities that made it to the list of the most followed users on Instagram:

Selena Gomez - with 43.4 million followers and following 153 people

Ariana Grande - with 42.8 million followers and following 920 people 

Justin Bieber - with 38.2 million followers and following 66 people 

Kylie Jenner - with 35.3 million followers and following 178 people
