Beyonce skews more elusive these days, as evidenced by the scant promo, interviews, and performances that have defined the campaign for her mega-selling visual album.

However, one place the superstar is ever-present is on Instagram.

Over the last year, the singer has ramped up her use of the platform to share everything from fashion snaps to quotes, to personal pics of her family.

Her approach has paid off handsomely. Because, as of this week, the 33-year-old has become the most followed female Pop star on the site.

Two of TGJ’s favorites – Jessie J and Luke James – have started collaborating in ways that don’t exactly see them linked in the studio (at least not yet anyway).

The ‘Bang Bang’ beauty definitely hit Instagram with a bang earlier this week when she unveiled news that she and the Grammy-nominated R&B crooner were an item.  As expected, any promotional appearance made thereafter would see her bombarded with questions about her new beau.  Unlike in the past, however, the songstress now welcomes the quizzing openly.

On a recent pit stop on the UK’s ‘Loose Women,’ she spoke highly of James:

 “I met him in New York. He’s amazing. He’s a singer-songwriter. It was in the papers that he’s a rapper – he’s not a rapper, he’s a singer. He’s incredible. I’m really happy.”

Gushing in ways we’ve never seen of her before, find out what else she said about Luke in the cute interview waiting right under the jump:
