Who are The Most Followed Person on Twitter?

Twitter gives people access to celebrities that have never been possible before.

A big following can help you sell things and get your name out there, which is why so many famous people spend time on the platform.

We decided to make a list of the Twitter accounts that people follow the most. They are here.

Britney Spears  (55.6m followers)

Britney Spears is the first pop star on our list, but she won’t be the last. Since she became a worldwide teen star, she’s kept her career going with a mix of success and trouble. Even though other pop stars are bigger now, she is still one of the most well-known people in the world.

Britney has a lot of famous people following her on Twitter, but she also has some pretty big celebs following her. Janet Jackson, Drake, and Cher all follow her.

Her Twitter account is just like everyone else’s. Personal posts, behind-the-scenes videos, and news about her music and tours.

Bill Gates (56m followers)

Bill Gates, one of the people who started Microsoft and is very, very rich, is amber 18. He made his name in the tech world, but now he spends a lot of time working with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Justin Timberlake (63.3m followers)

Timberlake was in a popular boy band and is now a very successful solo artist. He has used his fame to get tens of millions of Twitter followers.

After seeing Timberlake in the movie The Social Network, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised by how savvy he is with social media.

On his Twitter, there isn’t a lot of advertising. Instead, videos and pictures of his personal life get a lot more attention. Others on this list are more like Instagram than those on this list.

Elon Musk (63.5m followers)

Elon Musk has become a well-known name over the years. He has made a name for himself by making things like electric cars and rockets (and in one case, literally launching an electric car into space on a rocket). He has a lot of Twitter followers because he is interested in cryptocurrencies and memes.

Selena Gomez (65.2m followers)

Selena Gomez is the next pop star who seems to do well on Twitter. She is one of the most famous singers and actresses in the world, so it’s no surprise that she easily made the list.

Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, and Emma Watson are just some of the tens of millions of people who follow her on Twitter. She is the ninth most influential woman on Twitter.

Selena’s Twitter account is mostly used to promote her music and acting, with shout-outs to celebrity friends and personal thoughts thrown in now and then.

Narendra Modi (72.4m followers)

The first person on our list is Prime Minister Modi of India. Modi will probably be happy to be on this list. Since 2009, he has used Twitter a lot. He realized early on how important social media can be in politics.

Since 2014, when he took power, the number of people who support him has grown. If you want to know how he works, here’s a good article about his first ten years on Twitter.

Modi uses his account just like a politician and head of state would. He campaigns for his party, talks about issues that affect India, and tweets about how his country works with other countries.

Ellen DeGeneres (77.7m followers)

Next up is Ellen DeGeneres. The huge number of people who watch her show, Ellen, has also made her a big hit on Twitter.

We can also assume that her famous Oscars tweet, which for a while was the most retweeted tweet ever, has something to do with the fact that she has so many followers.

Technically, her account is for her show (the handle is @TheEllenShow), so almost all of the tweets are pictures and clips that help promote it. Still, a few personal tweets show up now and then.

Lady Gaga (83.8m followers)

Lady Gaga is the 8th most followed person on Twitter. She has had a lot of success in music and acting, especially with her recent role in the movie A Star Is Born.

She also seems to connect well with her audience, since our research shows that she is the third most influential woman on Twitter. Miley Cyrus, David Guetta, and Oprah Winfrey are among her fans.

Most of the posts on her account are about her music, acting, and the work of her Born This Way Foundation.

Ariana Grande (84.6m followers)

Ariana Grande has had a big couple of years. With hit after hit, she has rarely been out of the news. No one will be surprised to see her on this list, since the release of her song “thank u, next” caused a Twitter storm.

Jared Leto, Harry Styles, and Lindsay Lohan are just some of the famous people who follow her on Twitter.

Grande not only tweets about herself and her music, but she also shouts out to her fans a lot.

Taylor Swift (88.9m followers)

Now that we’re getting close to the end, Taylor Swift is in sixth place. Being one of the biggest pop stars in the world brings you not only fame, money, and fans, but also followers on Twitter.

Our research shows that Swift is also the most important person on Twitter. Even more impressive is the fact that Taylor Swift hardly ever tweets.

Her nearly 90 million followers have a lot of patience.

Cristiano Ronaldo (95.3m followers)

On our list, Cristiano Ronaldo is the only sports figure. He has also played for the Portuguese national team and for Juventus F.C., Real Madrid, and Manchester United, which are some of the best clubs in the world.

Ronaldo is the fourth most influential person on Twitter. Among his followers are Lil Wayne, Usain Bolt, and Jack Dorsey, who is the CEO of Twitter.

His account is pretty consistent, and most of his recent tweets are pictures of him and his family just hanging out and doing whatever it is that ridiculously rich football players do.

Lady Gaga (83.8m followers)

Since “Baby,” Justin Bieber has been around almost all the time. Since then, he’s stayed in the spotlight, changing his style and look as he’s gotten older and becoming one of the biggest stars on this planet.

Jaden Smith, Queen Latifah, and Iggy Azalea are just a few of the famous people who like Bieber. He is also the seventh most powerful person on Twitter.

His real account doesn’t have as many ads as some of the others on this list. Posts don’t come very often, and they’re usually just random thoughts or other things that anyone else on Twitter might post.

Rihanna (103.3m followers)

Rihanna is another singer on our list, but she is not the last. She is a megastar and has a business selling beauty products. She has a huge number of Twitter followers because she has had a lot of hits and her Fenty business is doing well.

Rihanna’s Twitter has also been in the news a lot, especially when she said that Donald Trump was wrong to use her songs at his rallies.

Rihanna’s Twitter account has the usual promotional tweets and shoutouts to collaborators. It also has political posts and tweets that are more personal.
