Kylie Jenner has been dethroned on Instagram for the title of the most-followed female on the social media platform — by the superstar singer Selena Gomez.

The 25-year-old reality TV star previously held the crown on the social media site with 380 million followers. She held the top spot for a while until Gomez’ follower count overtook hers, reaching 381 million followers as of Thursday.

The 30-year-old singer formerly held the title as the most-followed female on Instagram and was able to regain her crown when she recently returned to social media, Yahoo.com reported.

On Wednesday, Selena shared a racy snap on Instagram showing her in a strapless black top while drinking a cocktail. She captioned it, “I deleted this one time because I thought maybe it was too much but eh (taking a break from social).” At the time of this publication, it had been liked more than 12 million times.

Gomez spoke to Vanity Fair recently about her decision years ago to remove the Instagram app because of hurtful comments, but admitted to having the TikTok app on her phone.

“I never got the chance to go to an actual high school,” the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star shared. “The world was my high school for the longest time, and I started getting inundated with information that I didn’t want. I went through a hard time in a breakup and I didn’t want to see any of the [feedback]—not necessarily about the relationship, but the opinions of me versus [someone] else.”

“There’d be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the mean one,” she added. “People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, Whatever. But these people get detailed. They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety … I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.”

“The only thing I have on my phone is TikTok because I find it to be a little less hostile,” Gomez continued. “There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. But usually that’s filtered through [for me now]. I created a system. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them. As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging.”
