The ‘killer queen’ strikes again!

As if having the highest rated SuperBowl-showing ever and being the only female artist in history to launch five #1 singles from one album aren’t enough, now Katy Perry – thanks to her ever-faithful #Katycats – has clawed her way to the top of another record book:  Twitter.

Besting reported numbers from rival Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Beyonce, and Shakira tuck in below to find out the whopping figure that’s made Katy the Queen of Twitter:


90 million

Via US Weekly:

Katy Perry just set a new Twitter record when she reached 90 million followers on Friday, July 1. Twitter announced the huge milestone with a tweet.

When it comes to Twitter followers, Perry is well ahead of Swift, who has 79 million, and Justin Bieber, with 83.9 million. She even has more Twitter clout than President Barack Obama, who’s got 75.8 million followers.

    Hope she slays with her next album. The TRUE SINGLES QUEEN! 79M singles sold in the US alone from 3 albums is amazing!

    • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) July 2, 2016

      Nah, Katy’s not a singles artist. She’s not moving albums like Adele but her album sales are good.

      One of the Boys: 3M+
      Teenage Dream: 6.2M
      Prism: 4M

      • HailBeysus July 2, 2016

        Not bad at all. I honestly didn’t think Prism sold 4m. Had no idea that era was so successful.

    This site spends so much time throwing shade and starting stan wars that it can’t even report casual news “on time”.

    I mean I guess. You know I like Katy. Is she the best singer? No, but she’s a great pop writer and she’s just Katy. Plus she does a great job merging different sounds into her music without it being a gimmick or try hard. Last, huge tits. That;s always a plus.

  10. grapejuicefan July 2, 2016

    It’s too bad she can’t sing

    • And no one will say anything about meanwhile rihanna who can kinda sing gets criticized..rather than the white gurl… July 3, 2016

      I don’t stan for for just Rihanna I Stan for all the black woman earning success in the industry.

  11. Stephy July 2, 2016

    I’m actually anticipating her next era. I know she gon’ have payola on lock. It’s coming! When Katy comes out, that b**** is EVERYWHERE. Her first single gon’ be played on the radio every single minute of the day.

  12. Beykim loves One Direction,Justin Bieber,Lady Gaga,Miley and Beyoncè July 2, 2016

    Is Katy Perry the best singer? Bo but.even I will confess,I like her,out of buying ALL my favs DVDs I’ve watched part of me more.She has a vibe to her

  13. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 2, 2016

    She’ll perform in more stadiums on her next tour. That’s for sure. Her lead single will skyrocket straight to #1 on the Hot 100 and the rest will be history.

  14. King B July 2, 2016

    Social Media and Digital Queen!

      • ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 2, 2016

        She sure as hell slayed. That Stadium was PACKED to capacity. Word around is that there was more than 75,000 in attendance at the show. I’d love for her to get more people tomorrow.

      • HailBeysus July 2, 2016

        @Chile, can’t wait for the reports to come in. Also did you know Bey is the first Black Artist to have a sold out stadium tour in the states!?

      • King B July 2, 2016

        I’m crying. Remember when “people” said she can’t tour stadium?

      • HailBeysus July 2, 2016

        @rosey bitxh dufuq you talking about??? Take yo pressed ass on elsewhere!! Ain’t nobody talking about that struggling goat you Stan for!!!

      • King B July 2, 2016

        @Hailbeysus They are probably American seeing how “local” Queen B is! ?

  15. Keri Qween July 2, 2016

    Hmm. I wonder what direction she will go in with her next album. Seems like the other pop girls took the more “serious” route this go around I wonder if she’ll try that or stick with the basics.I’m interested to see if she’s grown as a artist since..but not to knock her. She has catchy bops.

    • Mark111 /.\ July 2, 2016

      That’s ironic, because her last album was suppose to be just that. I even remember the teaser of her burying her blue wig. I always like her ballads, great writing.

      • Keri Qween July 2, 2016

        I remember Prism was supposed to be her darker album but I felt it was still pop dominated though . I do like her ballads. My favorite ballad is “Thinking of You”. I respect a songwriter always. Some people still haven’t mastered that skill after 20 years in the industry.

      • King Mark111 July 2, 2016

        That’s one of the exact songs I was talking about. Such a good song.

    • King B July 2, 2016

      I know right. I respect songwriter like Sia. But not the other one, with her desperate attempt to diss one of the most respected artist since MJ. But I’m glad that my fav wrote Survivor (from 4x Platinum album) and Independent Woman (11 weeks number one). And co-wrote 9 number one singles, again something that other local songwriter with no platinum albums failed to achieve in her 7/8 years number- oneless and grammyless career.

    • XYZ July 3, 2016

      Hopefully, she will not go the depressed route. Lyrically, she def can go a more mature way, but being mature does not mean you have to sound depressed. 2016, at least for me, wasn’t that satisfying for me musically. As much as I enjoyed beyonce’s and rihanna’s albums this year, I missed the bops that i can work out to, listen to while running or simply listen to for drinking before going out…Ariana’s was the only one that had some bops and honestly, I hate that b****. So, please, katy – do the best you can and create a good pop Album. With that being said, don’t forget the Ballads. “Thinking bout you” and “the one that got away” are still great to listen to

  16. BeyKnowlesBest July 2, 2016

    That’s a good achievement but I feel like her music is on the decline

    • OMG Logic!!! July 2, 2016

      She’s in her 30s and kids only use artists past their 20s for a limited time.

  17. King B July 2, 2016

    I know right. I respect songwriter like Sia. But not the other one, with her desperate attempt to diss one of the most respected artist since MJ.

    • XYZ July 3, 2016

      Please, we all know that beyonce just changes one word in lyrics prepared for her to call herself a “writer” for that song… Doesn’t take away the fact that she is a great Entertainer and Singer, but lets not act as if she was that great of a songwriter, when she clearly isn’t

      • King B July 3, 2016

        You were there during songwriting process?

      • XYZ July 3, 2016

        It’s not like the actual writers haven’t said something bout it and of there weren’t claims against her

  18. OMG Logic!!! July 2, 2016

    Too basic for me to fu ck with, just like the rest of the talentless White Pop girls tbh…

  19. Word is bond July 2, 2016

    That’s cute…

  20. LB July 2, 2016

  23. JOHNVIDAL July 3, 2016

    LOL Meanwhile ADELE is the only current pop artist people seem to take seriously since she is the only one doing moster numbers where it counts: SALES!

    Twitter… LMAO Something to be taken so seriously, isn´t it? 🙂

  24. Arianator July 3, 2016

    Who cares?

  25. Whocares July 3, 2016
