What a year it's been for Taylor Swift.

In addition to inviting her celebrity friends to join her onstage throughout her 1989 World Tour, the pop princess reached over 60 million Instagram followers in 2015. Thanks to a popular new photo generator called 2015 Best Nine, E! News rounded up the "Out of the Woods" singer's top nine photos from the past 12 months. Swift received 590,164,211 likes for her 432 posts. Swift's BFF, fellow pop singer Selena Gomez, received 489,921,904 likes for 360 posts, while Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Kim Kardashian received 875,670,355 likes for 1,128 posts.

To find out how other celebrities—including Lauren Conrad, Zac Efron, Chris Pratt and Reese Witherspoon—measured up against Swift, Gomez and Kardashian, E! News selected 100 at random and checked their stats using the 2015 Best Nine generator. People often liked Blake Lively's hair posts, while Sofia Vergara's wedding pictures were her most-liked images. Justin Timberlake and Carrie Underwood, meanwhile, received the most likes for photos of their kids. It's unlikely Swift will be dethroned before year's end, but will she reign supreme in 2016, too?
