Top 50 accounts[]
The following table lists the top 50 most-followed accounts on Twitter, with each total rounded to the nearest million followers, as well as the profession or activity of each user.[1] Account totals and monthly changes in ranking were last updated on 22 August 2021.
Notes[]
- ^ On June 16, 2017, American singer Katy Perry became the first account to exceed 100 million followers.[3]
- ^ On July 12, 2018, Twitter purged locked accounts—those disabled due to suspicious activity—from follower-count tallies.[4] Consequently, Twitter's own account took the fastest and greatest plunge out of all the top 50 accounts, from 63 million to 55 million followers, and in ranking, from 11th to 16th place.[5]
