Who should be on the top of the list? Let&#8217;s find out. Here are the most popular Twitter users and their number of followers. It&#8217;s not surprising that so many famous people have millions of followers &#8211; some have more than 10 million. But who&#8217;s number one?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ariana_Grande\"><\/span>Ariana Grande<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ariana Grande has the most Twitter followers of all the pop stars. She has nearly 90 million followers and has kept up an active Instagram account. The singer has 284 million Instagram followers. Despite the recent controversy with Twitter, Ariana Grande continues to maintain an active presence. In fact, as of February 2018, she had the most Twitter followers of any artist. The controversy stems from her deactivation of her official Twitter account on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n<p>The pop star has taken a hiatus from social media before releasing her new album, but she has not stopped updating her Instagram and Snapchat accounts. Her latest Instagram Story shows a dog wearing reindeer antlers. However, Ariana Grande has faced a backlash for adopting an Asian appearance in a series of photos posted to Instagram. Her appearances in these images, taken by New York-based photographer Katia Temkin, were criticized by some Instagram users for making her look Asian.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Timberlake\"><\/span>Justin Timberlake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Justin Timberlake has the most Twitter followers among celebrities, but it isn&#8217;t just followers who follow him. His account also contains news updates and trends. It&#8217;s important to note that he doesn&#8217;t use this platform to promote himself, but rather, he uses it to communicate with fans and share personal thoughts. While Selena Gomez is one of the most popular people on Twitter, her account is more about promoting her acting career than her music.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his relatively young age, Justin Timberlake has the most Twitter followers of any celebrity. His fan base is a testament to his popularity, with more than 65.1 million followers. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake is one of the most popular singers in the United States. His songs have won two Grammy Awards. The star&#8217;s twitter account boasts a range of topics, from faith to new music releases.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perry\"><\/span>Katy Perry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Katy Perry has reached a new milestone on Twitter, surpassing Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. After joining the social networking website in 2009, Katy Perry has grown in popularity since then. With over 52 million followers, she has surpassed the following of these artists combined. With a new album, she is even more popular than ever. While accumulating many world records, she also continues to record new songs.<\/p>\n<p>The pop star&#8217;s massive fan base has helped her achieve incredible success on the social network. As of August 2017, she boasted a whopping 92.7 million followers. Although her Twitter activity is typically limited, Katy Perry has recently participated in a Q&amp;A session with her fans. The singer&#8217;s massive following has led to a lot of hype. She has also been busy promoting her new music, and her record label has put a lot of money behind the promotion of her new album.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bill_Gates\"><\/span>Bill Gates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why Bill Gates has the most Twitter followers, consider this: he&#8217;s been active on the social media network for 10 years. With more than 48 million followers, he caters to a broad demographic. As the founder of Microsoft, Gates is a household name and has a massive following. And as a billionaire, his tweets have an extremely high click-through rate. On average, every tweet by Gates receives around 160 clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his enormous following on Twitter, Bill Gates hasn&#8217;t banned himself. The software giant&#8217;s account is still online, despite a deal Elon Musk recently struck with the company. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, recently made headlines when he made a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. During the transaction, Tesla&#8217;s stock price plummeted, but Twitter hasn&#8217;t yet taken action against Gates&#8217; account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prime_Minister_Narendra_Modi\"><\/span>Prime Minister Narendra Modi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Indian Prime Minister, PM Narendra Modi, has the most Twitter followers. This is despite the fact that he uses the social networking website only since 2009, when he was the chief minister of Gujarat. It is unknown how many followers he has now, but he is still ahead of President Donald Trump and US President Barack Obama, who have over 108 million followers, respectively. In fact, no other Indian politician comes close to his number of followers, and it is interesting to note that the official Twitter handle of the PM has 30 million followers, making him the most followed head of state on the website.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was the most followed politician on Twitter until his account was suspended a few days ago. Before his suspension, he had 88.7 million followers. After Trump, US President-elect Joe Biden has 23.2 million followers. Other politicians with high Twitter followings include Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Among those in the US, former President Barack Obama has nearly 127 million followers, making him the most followed politician.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"411\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has the Most Twitter Followers?
