Kiernan Shipka Pays Tribute to Her 8 Million Instagram Followers

Abracadabra—Gen Z’s favorite Netflix enchantress has cast her charm on a staggering eight million Instagram followers. Kiernan Shipka, who plays the starring role in Netflix’s wickedly popular Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, announced her gratitude via an Instagram post on Wednesday, January 27.

Another year, another million followers is the tune the 21-year-old has been posting to. Looking back to 2019, Shipka was ranging approximately five and a half million Instagram followers, according to Backstage. You might be wondering how the young she-devil has managed to outnumber other Netflix starlets with her Instagram posse. The Let It Snow actress had a head start on the screen scene beginning her career as a child star as Sally Draper on the award-winning AMC drama Mad Men back in 2006. This stint lasted a magical eight years and gloried Shipka a SAG award in 2009 and again in 2010 due to the show winning Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a drama series.

But having her name lined in flashing lights at an early age is not the only reason behind Shipka’s uncanny scrolling appeal. Her Instagram feed is basically like looking through photos from a disposable camera of you and your friends. Her pictures are simply downright relatable. Whether it is being caught red-handed licking melting ice cream cones on a sunny day,

selfies taken with your besties in lackluster lighting,

or a throwback of toilet papering a car in the wee hours of the evening,

Shipka’s Instagram is basically the reminiscence of “that one unforgettable summer” in everyone’s memory bank.

The youngest Spellman is a witch turned marketing genius by spotlighting her social media into everyone’s favorite nostalgic memory. Her featured pinned tweet is the perfect example: a shoutout to Taylor Swift’s most recent album, Evermore. Nothing is more relatable than a Taylor Swift lyric, let alone an entire record. Talk about an arrow straight through the heart. Shipka knows the way to hearts and she is holding a VIP pass.

EVERMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @taylorswift13

There is one last ingredient that makes Shipka’s Instagram cauldron bubble over. Our main witch never tries to sell us anything except for her level of transparency. Steering clear of mixing business with pleasure to build cyber trust, Shipka is consistent in her online aesthetic of genuine moments captured behind the scenes. She has created a mirage for the public eye that peeking behind the curtain into her personal life is just that easy. Shipka’s secret weapon is keeping it real as if she has nothing to hide.
