Ellen Degeneres has just confirmed that her A-List “best photo ever” Oscars #selfie is the most retweeted tweet of all time, responsible for both momentarily crashing Twitter and breaking the record previously set by Barack Obama’s “Four more years” tweet elicited upon his receiving a second Presidential term.
It’s also the first tweet to break a million RTs. “We just made history”, said Degeneres, miraculously, without stumbling over her words.
If only Bradley’s arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap
