In the past week alone, Ted Cruz has added 60,000 followers. Marjorie Taylor Greene gained 100,000 followers, a rate 10 times the normal rate. Boris Johnson gained 10,000 followers, while former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has lost 1,000. The question of how many accounts has Twitter lost is not a new one, but the numbers show that users are increasingly disaffected by the recent changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taylor_Swifts_Twitter_account_lost_15000_followers_in_48_hours\"><\/span>Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account lost 15,000 followers in 48 hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tweet was posted by &#8220;N&#8221; &#8211; a Twitter user not affiliated with Taylor Swift. The Twitter account exploded on the social media site recently, when Taylor was incarcerated in Israel for refusing to enlist in the Israeli army. N&#8217;s feed now contains nothing but Swift updates. Taylor Swift&#8217;s official website, though, is black and the singer has not commented on the hack.<\/p>\n<p>Swift&#8217;s fans are shocked at the response. Many Swift fans have been asking about Swift&#8217;s absence from Twitter since Thursday&#8217;s release. But the singer didn&#8217;t even know her fans were missing her. The fans who have followed her have no idea that Swift just dropped a surprise album. And Swift hasn&#8217;t responded to Newsweek&#8217;s request for comment. Meanwhile, Swift didn&#8217;t respond to a request for comment when contacted via UMG. The news outlet has updated the article on 7\/30\/2020 at 12:50 EDT.<\/p>\n<p>A similar problem occurred to the Twitter account of Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, which had 132 million followers. Swift&#8217;s Twitter account lost 15,000 followers within 48 hours. As a result, he has lost her fans, making her a less popular celebrity than she was before. While many people are disappointed, it is important to remember that Twitter&#8217;s followers are not permanent. They can disappear and rejoin any time they choose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taylor_Swifts_account_lost_7000_followers_in_a_few_days\"><\/span>Taylor Swift&#8217;s account lost 7,000 followers in a few days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After a couple of days, Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account was suspended. According to Twitter&#8217;s current rules, accounts can be suspended if they have too many followers, engage in spamming or abusive behavior, or if they are hacked. Swift&#8217;s Twitter account is the first of hers to lose so many followers, but how is this possible? Read on to find out why.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to tell who to believe if the Twitter accounts of celebrities are fake, but some are. Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account was closed down due to this, but some fans have accused her of lying. Swift, who is a popular singer, has a following of 70 million, but some users doubt her real identity. In addition to the &#8220;fake&#8221; Taylor Swift, there are several Twitter accounts that claim to be Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account was hacked today. A photo posted on her Instagram account that urged users to follow another user who was involved in the hack, has since been deleted. It&#8217;s unclear what the exact reason behind the hack, but Twitter executives say it appears to be a combination of conservative users deleting their accounts and liberals creating new ones. Twitter executives continue to take action on spam accounts, which may affect a person&#8217;s follower count. However, they did not address the concerns of followers being banned in shadow cases.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taylor_Swifts_account_lost_15000_followers_in_48_hours\"><\/span>Taylor Swift&#8217;s account lost 15,000 followers in 48 hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today, Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account and Instagram were hacked. A tweet she wrote last week that urged people to follow another user involved in the hack is no longer there. In addition, the accounts were suspended for security reasons. The reasons for the hacking are unclear, but the singer has apologised and thanked the followers who &#8220;helped&#8221; her. This news is not surprising, since many of Swift&#8217;s fans have been following the singer for years.<\/p>\n<p>The Swifts&#8217; saga began with a tweet about a trip Delphine had taken to the countryside. On her return, she said, &#8220;I found out about Swift&#8217;s new album, Folklore.&#8221; While away, she was notified by her parents and posted an update about the new record. When Swift returned to her account, the popular Swift fan account had no idea about the album&#8217;s arrival, and fans are speculating whether they missed it.<\/p>\n<p>Another example of an important celebrity account is the British singer Rihanna. She has the most followers among all celebrities. She launched her own makeup brand Fenty Beauty in 2017, and since then, her Twitter account has been dedicated to promoting her products. Another example of a famous person using Twitter is former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has become increasingly active since taking office. Lady Gaga has also used the site to share her struggles and to advocate for the rights of LGBTQ people. Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account lost 15,000 followers in 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"471\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yGdmp-6pbj4\" height=\"263\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Accounts Has Twitter Lost?
