And the first to 1 million followers on Instagram is… none other than everyone’s favorite teen sensation @justinbieber.
Instagram reached it’s first million users two and a half months after their launch, and only 6 months later Bieber (formerly known as @swagisme) tweeted out a picture of good ol’ LA traffic. Today, just 8 months after joining Instagram, Bieber has hit 1 million followers himself. We here at InstagramNYC tip our hat to Bieber for this once-in-an-apptime achievement – you’ve undoubtedly helped bring Instagram to where it is today by telling your girlfriend and friends to join in on the fun, so celebrate by doing whatever a teenage pop star does to celebrate, you earned it.
