Good job, Kim Kardashian. You now hold the record for the most-liked Instagram of all time. [Of all time](http://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/kanye%5Fof%5Fall%5Ftime%5Ftaylor%5Fswift%5Flet%5Fyou%5Ffinish.jpg?quality=85). Behold:

This photo of Kim kissing Kanye at their wedding in Italy — yup, their first smooch as a married couple — has racked up 1.97 million likes (and counting). It breaks the previous record, which belonged to none other than Justin Bieber. His photo with on-again off-again-girlfriend Selena Gomez, captioned “Love the way you look at me” (barf), had gotten a comparatively measly 1.82 million likes:

As many people have pointed out, Kim Kardashian is kind of famous for nothing, but no longer! Now she’s famous for uploading the most popular Instagram ever. Proud of you, Kim.
