Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. We know your secret now, girl.

Your brightest moments of social media fame in 2016 were all thanks to one SELENA GOMEZ.

EXPOSED!!!

This is, admittedly, a pretty tame situation, as far as exposés go. But, you know, it still sort of counts.

Like, OK, look at this:

2016 Best Nine

EXPOSED!!!

That's Taylor Swift's top nine best-performing posts on Instagram for 2016 and, yep, Selena Gomez joins Tay in three, including the top two posts.

(In case you can't see, that's them in the "woods"... get it?)

In fact, the top two pics alone earned Taylor a combined 6 million likes.

That's just… that's a lot of likes.

EXPOSED!!!

Selena's stronghold over social media isn't news to many of us who recall her earning eight spots on Instagram's top 10 most-liked posts of 2016, including number one.

Despite dominating an entire app with her stunning cherub face and hair that looks like it smells amazing, Selena has recently stopped putting so much stock in her social media presence.

Following a recuperative stint out of the spotlight, she told viewers at the “American Music Awards,”

Most of you know a lot of my life whether I liked it or not. And I had to stop, because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside.

Selena hasn't forgotten the people behind those likes, though. The “Kill Em With Kindness” singer added,

I have to say thank you so much to my fans, because you guys are so damn loyal and I don't know what I did to deserve you.

Oh, Selena. You just keep being you.

We'll keep liking your posts and whichever posts of you pop up on Taylor Swift's Insta. We might also throw a few Tay's way when she posts a clip of either of her cats.

This is not to insinuate that we prefer the cats to you, Selena. Those cats do not hold a candle to you.

Those cats– honestly, I can't even remember their names right now because they are mid-Atlantic sea waste compared to you.

Get these cats out of my sight.
