It’s Taylor Swift vs Lionel Messi on social media, as fans of the “You Belong With Me” singer have almost made her engagement photo the most liked post on Instagram. This record is currently held by the renowned footballer Lionel Messi. Swift shook up the internet earlier today as she announced her engagement to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce.
Will Taylor Swift beat Messi’s Instagram record?
Swifties are gathering on social media to help their icon, Taylor Swift, beat Lionel Messi’s Instagram record to give her the most liked photo on the platform.
The singer recently posted photos of her and Travis Kelce’s engagement and sent the internet into a frenzy of celebration as many fans and celebs chimed in to congratulate the couple. In the photos, Swift and Kelce were surrounded by flowers, and she also showcased her engagement ring. In the caption, Swift wrote, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
At the time of writing, the post has over 29 million likes, and will likely reach the 30 million mark soon.
Currently, the record for the most-liked post on Instagram is held by Messi, whose photo with the 2022 World Cup trophy has nearly 75 million likes to date. According to a report by Goal.com, Swift surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo after her post reached the 10 million likes milestone in 1 hour and 5 minutes, as Ronaldo’s chess photo with Messi took 2 hours to do so.
Intensifying Messi vs Taylor Swift on the internet, a Swiftie wrote, “if you’re a swiftie go unlike messi’s post so that it’s easier for us to break the record omg.”
Another user wrote, “Tell your family, your friends, EVERYONE to like taylor’s post we need that record.”
A third user wrote, “The most liked Instagram post of ALL time is coming! Move over a smidge Messi!”
Although Swift’s post is still quite far behind Messi’s, the singer’s fans are clearly on a mission to make her post the most liked one on the platform.
