Stressed Out By Flowers

[Blind Gossip] This singer is being incredibly disingenuous about both fame and social media.

She is claiming that it is stressful for her to be famous and to have so many social followers. Should we feel sorry for her?

Hello?! She has her team PAY for social media followers!!! That’s the only reason her numbers are so high. For example, their monthly spend in [month] was [$x] to buy followers on Instagram and [$x] to buy followers on Twitter. They do this ALL. THE. TIME.

She really thinks she’s more famous or has more fans than [singer] or [other singer]? LOL. They just don’t buy [as many] followers as her.

This is like sending yourself flowers everyday… and then saying you are incredibly stressed out by all the flowers you are receiving.

You are free to shut down your social media accounts anytime, Singer!

  1. Selena?

    She has highest number of Instagram followers. I was baffled when I found this out. Really, more than Taylor? More than Gaga? More than Adele??

  2. Selena Gomez! Her being the most followed person on instagram was always fishy af. No one talks about her except herself! Has she ever had a proper hit? I don’t think so.

  3. Selena Gomez.

    What’s her strategy, anyway? She seems to be branding herself as a fragile, unstable person who can’t cope with the fame she constantly chases down. Is she worried that if she doesn’t sell her “mental illness” — which is a joke compared to people with genuine challenges — she’ll be exposed as having gone to rehab for real?

  7. Katy Perry.

    I always suspected that most of her followers were fake. She usually only gets 2-3 thousand likes or retreats on her tweets. She is not as popular as she thinks she is.

    • I agree with this^^ it’s not about your likes, it’s your engagement. And her engagement is as low as someone with a 2-6 million followers, yet it says 61 million on IG. That’s a lot of fake followers.

    • Although Ariana Grande has the same type of engagement, so it could be her. All the Selena guesses seem off-she has a very high engagement.

    • Yeah it’s definitely Ariana Grande! She has 100 million Instagram followers and recently shot a music video for her & John Legends song on the new Beauty & The Beast soundtrack (hence the red roses).

  9. Selena Gomez – maybe 50% real, 50% bought.

    She kills me – probably one of the biggest hypocrites out there. I do not understand how she can buy followers yet say she wants to escape social media. I am really really sick of these games. And you know what? I really hope people will eventually get brains and realize that they are all being fed crap just so these so called celebs can stay relevant.

    • I am also weary of the games! Purchasing social media followers. Engaging in fake relationships to cover homosexuality. Pretending to be pregnant while employing a surrogate. Going to rehab for drug addiction but claiming exhaustion. Spouting off on politics/world affairs with less than a high school diploma. Preaching about climate change, but hopping on private jets and yachts. The behavior of the “celebrity” crowd is over the top and ridiculous.

  14. OMG, just checked Instagram and Tay Tay has 99 million followers!!!!! Like how are there even 99 million people on Instagram? But then I go to Selena Gomez’s page and she has 113 million! Good grief. So yeah, this has to be Selena. Plus the girl in the picture has long dark hair. I would think her “real” following is more like 10 million ….. if she’s lucky.

  16. Singer: Selena Gomez

    [Optional] What percentage of her social media followers do you think are real? I think she has less than Demi Lovato who has 54m.

  24. Selena Gomez — in her Vogue interview she said she can’t wait for people to forget about her

  30. Selena Gomez
    (The related blind^)

    That’s a good question about the % of “real” followers. With the vicious at times competition between celebs to outdo one another and remain at the top, some go to extremes and get caught up in the mundane details, instead of focusing on their craft.

    Selena is a very pretty girl but all the mean girls stuff she gets caught up in with her peers keeps messing with her head. Who’s dating who? Who has more followers. Focus on developing your talents…

  31. She should be grateful — that magazine cover should really increase her yachting fees — which the mag is no doubt totally aware of.

  33. Singer: Selena Instagomez lol

    [Optional] What percentage of her social media followers do you think are real? I don’t know but i’m sure is less than Taylor Swift, Beyoncé or even Rihanna. Now i think these other girls buy followers too. Great.

  37. This is Selena Gomez. She talks about being “freaked out” by IG followers in her latest Vogue spread.

    Optional: No idea, I’m not even quite sure how buying followers works.

  39. Just by looking at that pony tail it must be the overly arrogant Ariana Grande Latte.

    Don’t know any of the clues because she’s a tad young to be on my radar, But she looks, walks, & talks like a spoiled brat. Quack Quack!

    Optional-Must be paying up her beak (or is it a bill?) for her stress…

  43. Selena Gomez? She just gave an interview and mentioned that she can’t wait until people don’t recognizer her or something like that. The only part of the blind that gives me pause is the fact that it says “singer” and she’s both a singer and an actress.

  44. Selena Gomez

    I’d say like 60%. Her Instagram is just not interesting enough to legitimately have that many followers tbh

  48. I hope this isn’t Adele (clue being Hello?!) 🙁

    I would have thought she was more genuine than that. At least that’s how she come across to me.

  52. The image looks like Ariana Grande and I wouldn’t put it past her to buy followers. Another singer that was found to have paid followers is Rihanna.

  53. I do not know. She has gotten new fans from her new music and has still a really a lot of fans of the time when she was in WoWP. Would she really be the type to go and do THIS?

    • Of course she is the type to do this. Selena is in the process of re branding herself. So far she is just a pretty girl who once dated Justin Bieber. So why does she warrant getting a Vogue cover? Why does she warrant having multiple stories on the daily mail? It’s because her team want to give the image that she is legitimately a superstar. Despite the fact she has done nothing career wise to be given the title

  54. Serena Gómez. She said in Vogue that she can’t wait until people forget about her. Eye roll.

  58. Selena Gomez

    Wouldn’t know talent if it beat her with a stick. You’d think she’d delete her instagram and go back to school, get an education like Emma Watson and Ariel Winter.

    Someone who hates fame doesn’t a book Vogue shoot and link up with The Weeknd. Please.

  60. Selena Gomez
    Her fans always brags about her instagram followers.
    So many artists have outsold her and had achieved more than her and they don’t have as much as followers as her e.g Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Adele.

    I understand why are they buying it though, she can’t sing can’t dance can’t write her own music, instagram and her pretty facs are the only things going on for her.

  65. Selena Gomez puh-leeze!!! I don’t get why celebrities lie so much. It will happen soon enough that she’ll be forgotten and then maybe she’ll be happy. Oh yeah, that’s the last thing she wants.

  68. Katy Perry?
    I find it hard to believe she really has more followers than the likes of Bieber and Swift!

  73. ariana grande ? the dark hair pony tail resembles her…

    I do not care for her….. but she has a good voice.

    probably majority are fake…

  76. Singer: Selena Gomez

    [Optional] How much does 0 make ? Scratch that, Ed Sheeran’s might be real.

  77. Selena Gomez. I read somewhere that she has the most Instagram followers of anyone, and maybe on Twitter too. The Kardashian-Jenners buy followers too.

    With read once that something like 80% of some star’s followers were bought/fake, so I wouldn’t be surprised if 50-80% of Selena’s followers were bought as well.

  80. If this is Selena Gomez I read today that she gave up her Twitter account, didn’t see any mention of her Instagram account.

    I have no idea so I’ll guess that about half of the followers are real.

  88. TSwift
    Other singers Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande

    Taylor has twice as many followers as either Selena or Ariana

  94. Selena Gomez, she just gave an interview in Vogue about how she can’t believe how many followers she has and she wishes she wasn’t famous sometimes.

  95. Selena Gomez? But she’s conducting a pr relationship at the moment with the weeknd. So isn’t that wanting attention?

  99. “Singer”: Selena Marie Gomez, though I use the term “singer” very loosely in this case because the girl can’t hold a note.
