Selena Gomez has hit an amazing social media milestone after hitting 400 million followers.

The Only Murders In The Building star, who recently regained her title as Instagram’s most-followed woman last month when she hit 382 million on the platform, is celebrating again after reaching another impressive landmark.

She marked the achievement by sharing a series of photos of her hugging and posing with her fans.

Selena, who now boasts over 401 million followers on the site, captioned the sweet post: ‘Wishing I could hug all 400 million of you’.

Not surprisingly, her post was flooded with supportive messages from her followers as plenty of her fans commented: ‘Selena Gomez for President’.

‘We love you Selena! From whole world (sic)’, wrote another follower, while a different person added: ‘We love you so much Queen Selena hugs and kisses from us.’

And a fourth fan said: ‘It’s my DREAM to hug you one day. I love you so much Sel!! You deserve all the love and support in the world (sic)’

Last month, the My Mind and Me singer – who has endured her fair share of drama on the site – had said she felt ‘so blessed’ to have become Instagram’s most-followed woman again, beating Kylie Jenner’s record which she had set in January 2022.

‘I’m very happy, I’m so blessed. I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world. I just couldn’t be happier,’ she said at the time.

However, just weeks earlier Selena – who only returned to Instagram in January following a four-year hiatus – branded social media a ‘waste of time’ and admitted that now that she employs an assistant to manage her various platforms, doesn’t even have access to the photo-sharing site on her personal phone.

She said: ‘I never got the chance to go to an actual high school. The world was my high school for the longest time, and I started getting inundated with information that I didn’t want.

‘I went through a hard time in a break-up and I didn’t want to see any of the [feedback] — not necessarily about the relationship, but the opinions of me versus [someone] else. There’d be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the mean one.

‘People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people get detailed. They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety…I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.’
