Selena Gomez Breaks Beyonce's Instagram Record

Selena Gomez celebrated her 26th birthday by beating a record previously held by Beyonce.
​
On Monday evening, Selena posted a gallery of photos from her Italian-themed yacht birthday party. The post -- which begins with a close-up of a smiling SelGo decked out in a pink, off-the-shoulder dress -- beat Beyonce's record for being the fastest user to get 1 million likes on an Instagram photo. Selena accomplished the feat within 13 minutes.

Another year down.. Thank you for all the bday love. I couldn’t be more appreciative of you and my best friends for celebrating with me. I love you guys like crazy! God bless!

Selena's post has earned 8.4 million likes, but that number is getting larger by the minute.

Beyonce previously held the record with her pregnancy announcement and twin reveal photos, both of which have received a staggering 116.5 million likes each since the superstar posted them.

Beyonce's twin reveal photo, which she shared a little over a year ago, obtained 7.8 million likes within 12 hours. Meanwhile, her pregnancy reveal earned 6.4 million likes in its first few hours.
