Ariana Grande is unstoppable.

She is living by example inspired by her "thank u, next" mentality where she is ready to earn another notch on her resume as one of the most influential pop artists.

And speaking of "thank u, next," her single off her eponymous album just made music history by dominating with top three songs ("7 Rings" at No. 1 with "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" and "Thank U, Next") on the Billboard Hot 100 – a feat not seen since The Beatles in 1964.

Now, the singer just broke yet another record.


According to BBC, Grande became the most followed woman on Instagram. Until now, Selena Gomez was sitting pretty with that honor with 146,228,000 followers.

Although Grande didn't usurp the throne by a landslide, she has more than 146,336,000 followers.

That's a whole lot of adoration.



Remember how exciting it was to be voted as the most popular person in high school? Well, multiply that excitement by a gajillion and you'll understand the world of popularity relevance on social media.








Mashable noted that her sudden boost in popularity may have had something to do with her hiatus from social media back in September 2018. By the time she returned on January 14, her fans on a Grande withdrawal.

"As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given," she wrote on Instagram.

Congrats, Ariana. So what's next?

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
