With 146 million Instagram followers, pop princess Ariana Grande is officially the most followed woman on the social media platform.

Previously, Selena Gomez had the most followers of any woman on Instagram, but thanks to 13 million new followers in the past four months, the “7 Rings” singer just seized the throne.

According to Billboard, as of Tuesday morning, Grande and her “Japanese Finger BBQ” tattoo have 146,391,669 followers, as opposed to Gomez’s 146,303,811. A close match, but the numbers don’t lie.

To honor this virtual victory, let’s take a look at Ariana Grande’s 20 sexiest ‘grams.
