On Wednesday, the 35-year-old pop star posted a picture of her baby bump and revealed that she and husband Jay-Z were expecting twins - the post, which Beyonce signed off as 'The Carters' (Jay-Z's real name is Sean Carter), instantly went viral and Beyonce trended on social media sites all day. Within hours, the post had over 6 million likes - it currently has over 9 million likes and counting. Beyonce, looking quite pregnant already, poses against a backdrop of flowers, a veil trailing over her face and shoulders. Her caption read: "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes."
 


The post has received over 4 lakh comments congratulating Beyonce and Jay-Z, who have a five-year-old daughter named Blue Ivy.

2016's Instagram topper was this picture of Selena Gomez (the most followed celebrity on Instagram) sipping a drink, with 6.3 million likes. It was posted last July.
