Sorry, Selena Gomez, you no longer have the most-liked photo on Instagram.

That honor now belongs to (who other than) Beyoncé, whose pregnancy announcement photo has more than 7,400,000 likes at the time of this writing.

The photo, which has been online for just over half a day, also has more than 360,000 comments.

Besides congratulatory messages and likes, Beyoncé was also treated to an uncanny amount of memes and jokes yesterday. Selena Gomez, who utterly dominated Instagram last year, will have to try hard to beat this one.
