These Are The Most Liked Instagrams Of The 2010s
24 December 2019
The last decade bought us a lot of triumphs, tribulations and tea. We doubled down on Royal Weddings, gained eight new Kardashians and Instagram was born. Yep, it’s hard to believe that a mere 10 years ago, Instagram was a brand new, unexplored platform. Influencers weren’t even a thing! Instagram quickly sparked a social media revolution and we’ve been scrolling ever since. As it transpires we’ve been doing quite the fair bit of double-tapping too. These are the most-liked Instagram posts of the 2010s.
