Selena Gomez Is The First Person To Reach 100 Million Followers On Instagram | TIME

Selena Gomez is the FIRST person to reach 100 million followers on Instagram. "I am glad I grew up in the time that I did. I think it’s really hard to be a kid now, especially with social media. I can’t imagine what it would be like to grow up with that. It’s already difficult to get up every day and just feel good about yourself without seeing the highlights of everyone else’s life. That’s why I like being vulnerable with my fans on social media."

[@dariopapich]

I met Selena Gomez last year and let me tell you... she is very nice and beautiful inside and out. She has her own unique taste into the world which makes her one of the very few artists out there who shows true relationship with her loyal fans, also she has a positive outlook in life that she expresses throughtout social media. We need more people like her in the world. ❤

[@newyorkaccent2691]

what makes selena's music unique? Please give me an example, she doesn't write her own music and the lyrics are basic.

[@lilj7040]

newyork accent ok, that's what you think, but she is releasing new music, and now she is making her own style. Her style is EDM and Soft music, check out Stained and Feel Me, and acoustic versions. Now all you hear mostly is people who sing loud, she has a soft voice

[@randomlyliving3323]

@@newyorkaccent2691 she started writing her own music from the year 2013 i guess.

[@IAMASELENATOR92]

A lot of you are questioning social media, yet you're ON a social media platform right now. Social media especially now has such a big influence on people. It's just like television or radio; it literally changes a culture. By Selena using social media to speak up about humanity, protection of people, and bullying, she is making a difference. Deny it all you want, but she's still living her life & her social media thrives.

She shows us the path a way to love the world,to love our selves. all I'm saying is. I'm proud to be a #selenator

[@aac_6298]

She's an artist with kind words and her vocals increase. Although you may not know, she's been working hard and she's more successful than you are. Anyway, Selena is with the man she loves and that's what she wants As someone that's a fan, I don't like it when people hate hate on her, but I shall not ridicule you. Although she may not have the most perfect vocals, she has been trying and she's still practicing. Let her be who she is. She's famous because she's a singer, and a dancer, and an actor. I love her so much because she's great with words. She knows how to express herself. And, honestly I would like to not give a damn about your opinions, so I love her.

[@MusicLyricsHD21]

*She deserves the success. She’s unlike other artists she’s so vulnerable and authentic and that’s why many people like her. She preaches her faith, she remains humble, and she preaches kindness. Her music is meaningful and shes been in the industry for years. So proud of how far she has come. She’s one in a million and that’s why she’s the most followed not many artists like her*

+Axel Vanlalruata so she's famous because she couldn't act on WOWP, Barney and all her super hit movies not because that's where her talent lies? Try again, hun.

[@ninyniny3530]

You could have millions of followers but still someone can feel lonely, I am not hating or being rude I love salena but unfortunately we have given these social media sites are everything. When you are sick, or you are down you only need one person to support or make you feel good. And on funeral only few come. Amount of followers and Facebook frnd means nothing if you don’t have someone to look after you ( I am talking in general) that’s just the virtual numbers 😔 peace ♥️

[@paulinpergjegaj8314]

Her mom was a teeenager her dad left them alone but still her mom is a strong woman n taught Selena how to be a strong woman n now probably is the queen of every girl's aftr their mom but for me she's forever nt only the ig queen she inspired me frm whn 6 n now i am 11 in each n every moment in my life she taught how to stand up fight back thru her vdos, speech n her real life situation i guess she's not only woman of the year but fr my whole life i luv Selena n yeah n idc if the haters say "Selena can't sing she can whisper" they need open their eyes ears proud of my queen #Selena #the queen👑👑👑 selenatorforever 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤💕

[@margote8072]

Hold on there chickadee, you're the one using the word "hate" a few times in your comment, no one else is. I haven't seen one post where someone said they "hate" Selena. People are allowed to have their own opinions. You may not like it, but that's called criticism, not hate and it shows maturity. There's nothing wrong with people having a healthy debate. You'll learn that as you get older.

[@Itslali]

what an amazing role model and human being. I love you,Selena.

[@arzudeniz8054]

My QUEEN ❤❤

[@haileyyy2103]

Selena can’t turn her notifications, or else her phone would just explode, she has thousands of sweet comments on her every post saying that she is beautiful and sweet and how much her fans adore her. She has thousands of people who call her the QUEEN of photoshop, slut and even fake. Selena deals with so much hate, and it might have gotten the best of her if it wasn’t for all the support she received from family, friends and her fans. She has too deal with so much that it would probably pain her to read the comments on her posts. Everyone probably envies her and wishes to have the same amount of followers as her but at the send of the day, Selena has that but she has a negative impact on her life as well. Selena is strong and brave and I could go on forever about this. Selena is a human. Granted, she is famous, Granted she is rich. But she is humble and doesn’t forget about her fans. She is an inspiration
