Taylor Swift loses out to Cristiano Ronaldo’s crazy fans
The ‘Bad Blood’ singer, despite her success, has seen her YouTube subscriber numbers surpassed by the ex-Real Madrid attacker.
Nearly a month has passed since Cristiano Ronaldo officially launched his YouTube channel, which has set various records for the Portuguese star, demonstrating that both on and off the field, he continues to break barriers in terms of his popularity.
A prime example of Ronaldo’s off-field aura is the insanely quick growth of his channel, reaching an incredible 20 million subscribers in under 24 hours—an achievement that even MrBeast, the current leader in YouTube subscribers with over 300 million, could not accomplish.
How many YouTube followers does Cristiano Ronaldo have?
Now, after 23 days on YouTube, Ronaldo has amassed an astonishing 60.4 million subscribers, surpassing one of today’s most popular celebrities, Taylor Swift.
The American singer, who joined YouTube in 2006, has 59.9 million subscribers—a figure that Ronaldo surpassed in less than a month, positioning himself on the path to becoming the most-followed celebrity on the platform.
With his 60.4 million subscribers, Cristiano Ronaldo has entered the top 40 most-followed accounts on YouTube, overtaking Swift, who previously held 39th place.
Ronaldo’s next targets include channels like Dude Perfect, YRF, and Sony Music India, with 61.5, 61.8, and 61.9 million subscribers, respectively. His closest celebrity competitor is Eminem, who ranks 35th with 61.9 million subscribers. It’s only a matter of time before the Portuguese superstar catches up to another iconic musician.
