    Instagram completely overhauled how it treats videos this year, letting users upload 60-second videos, put clips on Instagram Stories, and now even go live. And nobody took advantage of these new features like the celebrities with follower counts bigger than some countries' populations. Check out the most popular celebrity Instagram videos of the year, as tallied by the Instagram team themselves.

    1. Selena Gomez's Revival tour dance-off

    A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)

    When Selena held a dance-off with viral internet sensation Audrey Nethery backstage during her Revival tour, fans went crazy for the video, to the tune of 20 million views.

    2. Selena Gomez's Fourth of July splash

    A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)

    Selena serves as hostess with the mostest in this clip walking through her Independence Day house party. She ends the vid with a splash as she jumps into her picturesque pool. Lots and lots of people liked the video, probably out of sheer jealousy.
