Taylor Swift also had an eventful year full of new loves, breakups, and secretly recorded phone calls, which lead the star to go off the Instagram grid for most of the summer. But the singer returned in full force for Halloween and most recently for Thanksgiving. T-Swift follows her bestie Selena, on Insta and on this list, and comes in second place for the most followed person this year.
