It’s no secret that celebrities take the top spots as the most followed accounts on Twitter. It makes sense because fans always want to know what their idols are doing or what they're thinking. Personally, whenever I go through a period of obsession with a new celebrity, I automatically follow them on Twitter. Is that weird? I hope not! But if you always wondered, which celebrities have the most followers, no need to do the calculations yourself because here are 7 most followed accounts on Twitter.
1 Justin Bieber
I feel like this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Of course America’s heartthrob/bad-boy is #1 on the list of the most followed accounts on Twitter! His popularity hasn't stopped growing ever since he was discovered by Usher and released his first single "One Time." No matter what the pop star does, his fan base seems to always remain strong. Just look at the number of his Twitter followers! Twitter: @justinbieber Followers: 41,901,690

Taylor Swift is one of the most successful artists worldwide, yet her success doesn’t get in the way of her ideas and beliefs. Unlike many other stars struggling to keep their younger fan base, she was able to keep her good reputation while transitioning into adulthood. Everything that Swift represents is what young girls should look up to, which makes her a really good role model.
