How did Swift beat them all?
The singer knows what her fans want — for her to seem approachable and fun.
The 25-year-old often posts photos of her cats, celebrity BFFs, and throwback pics. She also isn't afraid to make fun of herself, often posting memes created by fans.
Swift also uses Instagram to give fans a sneak peek into her personal life. She often records behind-the-scenes videos from her concert stops, and it's where she debuted her relationship with boyfriend Calvin Harris.
But most importantly, Swift makes a point to personally connect with her fans.
She frequently comments on fans' photos and is sympathetic to followers going through a hard time.
It's basically impossible not to LIKE Taylor Swift on Instagram.
