Taylor Swift has been named the most influential person on Twitter for 2019.
According to research site Brandwatch, the 30-year-old musician topped the likes of Donald Trump, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Katy Perry and Elon Musk, who all round out the top five spots.
The list was made using an algorithm to determine their influencer score. Taylor topped the list with a score of 97.
“This is our measure of how influential an account is over time, based on the level of genuine engagement they are creating,” Brandwatch says of its algorithm. “While lots of followers, retweets and replies will help, the more influential the people they engage with, the better the score.”
Rounding out the Top 10 are footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, musician Lady Gaga, entertainer Ellen DeGeneres, singer Ariana Grande and reality star Kim Kardashian.
