Katy Perry is the new queen of Twitter! She “dethroned” Justin Bieber as the most popular person on Twitter just this weekend. The “Roar” singer reached 46.48 million followers, beating out Justin Bieber, who only has 46.47 million followers.
Not only is Perry beating Justin Bieber on Twitter, but now has 59.26 million friends on Facebook! Bieber is a close second with 57.28 million. Bieber has been on top since February when he ended Lady Gaga’s two-year reign.
Katy argues that famous people shouldn’t use social media to deflate rumors. “I do it only in extreme cases if someone is jeopardizing my character.”
Katy Perry has often said that she ignores her online haters. “I don’t know they exist because I don’t give them attention, if you tried to please everyone, you’d have no sense of self. You’d lose yourself in the process of being a people-pleaser and there’d be nothing unique left.”
Congratulations to Katy Perry for reaching number one!
