Beyonce and Kim Kardashian at NY Fashion Week 2015

Socialite Kim Kardashian easily defeated singer Beyonce in the battle of the narcissists.

On a list that ranks a star’s popularity by her number of followers, Kim was crowned the Queen of Instagram, beating out Beyonce for the top honors with 44 million followers to Beyonce’s 43 million.

At this very moment Bey is somewhere licking her wounds and working on a strategy to topple Kim from her lofty perch.

These things mean a lot to a narcissist.

From Us Weekly magazine:

The social media maven tops Instagram’s Top 10 list — which features two of her famous siblings, too. Following Beyonce is Taylor Swift with an impressive 43,533,226 followers. Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Nicki Minaj and Khloe Kardashian round out the rest.

Absent from the list, surprisingly, are Katy Perry (26 million) and Rihanna (24 million).
