It was a difficult question to answer with so many stars involved, but we have put together a list of the most popular Twitter accounts from various fields. You&#8217;ll see that sports stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga topped the list. In addition, you&#8217;ll see that US President Donald Trump was listed as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Beiber\"><\/span>Justin Beiber<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In October 2012, a report was released stating that Justin Bieber had the most Twitter followers, with nearly nine million. Bieber, who turned 19 on March 1, now has more Twitter followers than any Canadian. As of this writing, he has the highest number of followers of any artist. Bieber has more Twitter followers than the entire population of the country of Canada. It&#8217;s amazing to think that a 19-year-old can be followed by nearly nine million people.<\/p>\n<p>Last March, Justin Bieber had the most Twitter followers, and he has now surpassed Lady Gaga, who had 33,339,617 followers. Although Bieber hasn&#8217;t commented on his new title, he has celebrated his newfound fame with a hashtag of &#8220;#33millionBeliebers,&#8221; which is now a trending topic on the social network. But it&#8217;s not just music stars who follow him. Even Barack Obama is among the highest-profile Twitter users, with seventeen million followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_DeGeneres\"><\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The news broke earlier this month that Ellen DeGeneres&#8217; Twitter account had lost more than 80,000 followers since the start of the year. This was a big blow to the comedian, who has the most Twitter followers out of any celebrity. After all, she was one of the first celebrities to endorse Twitter, and she continues to engage her audience with both personal and professional posts. Here are some of the latest tweets from Ellen DeGeneres.<\/p>\n<p>As you can tell, Ellen is not only a popular comedian, but she is also a popular TV host. She&#8217;s best known for her talk show, but her Twitter page also features the latest episodes of Finding Dory and Nemo, and many of her fans can keep up with her through the account. However, you can also follow her in case you want to be one of her followers!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perry\"><\/span>Katy Perry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Until recently, it was believed that Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga had the most Twitter followers. However, the latest news indicates that Katy Perry now has the most Twitter followers. The singer recently released a new album that has boosted her popularity. Her followers have increased by 50% since the release. Fans have also praised her new album. Katy Perry has accumulated several world records. Here are the five most popular tweets of her.<\/p>\n<p>Although the number of followers in a Twitter account is not correlated with the number of tweets sent, this list does show that Twitter users have more than a hundred million followers. The most followed Twitter accounts include Donald Trump and Rihanna, and some of these popular celebrities have millions of followers. Katy Perry&#8217;s followers are also impressive, with ninety-four million and eight-three million, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lady_Gaga\"><\/span>Lady Gaga<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The pop superstar broke the record on Saturday by reaching 20 million Twitter followers. Before this, Lady Gaga was the first person to have 10 million Twitter followers and fifteen million. Those two million came within a span of 28 days. The singer is currently preparing to launch her own social network, which may be similar to image sharing website Pinterest. In the meantime, her fans can expect more Twitter posts from her. If Lady Gaga continues on this track, expect more music videos to be released soon.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter users are looking for a celebrity or brand with personality. That&#8217;s why McDonalds employees update their feed with pictures of their daily lives and Starbucks CEO Brad Nelson posts pictures of himself enjoying a cup of coffee. Brands need to show their personality to stand out, but Lady Gaga&#8217;s approach is different. She says what&#8217;s on her mind without seeming calculated. While other celebrities have publicists filtering their tweets, Lady Gaga says what&#8217;s on her mind without seeming too calculating.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ronaldo\"><\/span>Ronaldo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Until recently, it was unknown which athletes had the most Twitter followers, but it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo is at the top. The Real Madrid star has over 30 million followers and his handle is @Cristiano. Other athletes that have impressive numbers of followers include Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr. with over 56.7 million, NBA player LeBron James with 51.2 million, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli with 48 million, and Argentine footballer Lionel Messi with 10.7 million followers.<\/p>\n<p>The five-time Ballon d&#8217;Or winner is a global icon and has great fan followings on all social networks. According to Forbes, he earns nearly USD 1 million for each sponsored post on Instagram. Despite the fact that he is 36 years old, he is not planning to retire anytime soon. His fan base is still growing and he is still playing football! And why shouldn&#8217;t he? The world loves him and he is one of the most followed athletes on Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" height=\"288\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Had the Most Twitter Followers?
