Influencers LIfe Recaps
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.
Get ready to see this guy’s face a lot. He pops up a few times on this list. This particular ‘gram was posted when he announced he was finishing a decade long run at Real Madrid to play for Italian soccer team, Juventus.
