Caitlyn Jenner has broken the world record for the fastest growing Twitter account.
After only two tweets, "Caitlyn Jenner" began trending on Twitter and her followers quickly rose past 1 million. The tweets revealed her new name and her Vanity Fair cover photo. She quickly broke the record in only four hours.
President Barack Obama previously broke the Guinness world record in May with his new @POTUS account. The record was previously held by “Iron Man” actor Robert Downey Jr.
Ms Jenner generated nearly 1.5 million tweets from Ellen DeGeneres, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and several other high-profile accounts.
