EVERYONE from Beyoncé to Susanna Reid took to Instagram to make big announcements and bold statements over the last 12 months, with the year also giving us the most liked post of all time.
As we enjoy the last few days of 2017, Express.co.uk has taken a look back at the uploads that came dangerously close to breaking the internet and had everyone talking around the globe.
As well as the hitmaker and Good Morning Britain favourite, the list also includes a footballer, the mother of dragons and Phillip Schofield’s BFF.
Beyoncé’s pregnancy announcement
Stealing Selena Gomez’s Instagram crown, the singer notched up an incredible 11.2 million likes when she announced her family was “growing by two” in February.
In true A-list style, the 36-year-old donned a green veil and a burgundy bra to reveal her baby bump and tell the world she and Jay Z were having twins. Congrats Queen Bey!
The star is also in the top ten of most liked photos once again - at number four - when she gave fans their first glimpse of her arrivals Sir and Rumi, now six months.
There aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend. She gave me the ultimate gift
Ronaldo and his family post from hospital
The footballer comes in in second place with 11.1 million likes for the big reveal about his daughter’s birth.
The 32-year-old and his eldest son donned green overalls to pose alongside girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, moments after she gave birth to Alana Martina.
The sportsman also took the fifth spot for the first snap of him and his twins, taken just months before.
Selena Gomez health battle
The Wolves singer shocked her 131 million followers when she announced she had undergone a kidney transplant in September.
Lying in a hospital bed, the 25-year-old was seen holding hands with her “beautiful friend” and donor Francia Raisa, as she continues to battle lupus. Selena also has the sixth to tenth most popular uploads - incredible!
Susanna Reid ditches everything
The journalist was praised for her honesty and bravery just two days into the new year, when she compared her “blemished” face to what she normally looks like on-screen.
“Me on Instagram = extra eyelashes, make-up and filters. Me in real life = blemishes, lines and flaws. There's a time and value for both but don't compare your behind-the-scenes to others' highlights reels. Happy Being You Year,” the 47-year-old urged.

The Hollywood A-lister had everyone in hysterics when he took to Instagram to wish his wife a happy birthday this summer.
