Selena Gomez's 'Revival': Album Review
Selena Gomez's 'Revival' LP is a career-defining gem. Read our detailed review.

Selena Gomez is the most-followed person on Instagram with a whopping 90.6 million followers. That gives her bragging rights over Taylor Swift (86 million) and Beyonce (78.6 million), but also the potential to earn serious money. According to AdWeek, a social post from the Revival diva is worth approximately $550,000. Incredibly, the 23-year-old has a habit of avoiding sponsored content unless it’s part of a larger campaign — like her deals with Coca Cola and Pantene.

It will be interesting to see if the backlash Selena faced over the weekend has any impact on her brand. The usually uncontroversial singer came under fire for standing up for BFF Taylor in the wake of Kim Kardashian’s SnapChat expose. The “Kill Em With Kindness” hitmaker tweeted: “There are more important things to talk about… Why can’t people use their voice for something that fucking matters?” Which opened the door for critics to ask why she hadn’t used her stardom to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
