Visitors to [ Instagram influencer Natalia Taylor]'s page earlier this month might have felt a bit envious upon seeing all the [ glamorous photos and videos] of her enjoying a vacation in Bali. But the exotic trip was all a lie. While pictures showed her [ relaxing in a fancy bathtub], [ drinking champagne] and [ ordering room service] inside a wood-paneled hotel room, Taylor took the photos at her nearby Ikea. 
With photo captions like "The queen has arrived #bali," it was easy for her more than 330,000 Instagram followers to think the model was living her best globe-trotting life. But in an age when social media can lead people to think every one else's lives are better, Taylor wanted to prove not everything on Instagram is real. 

"Life on the internet isn't always what it seems; especially in this day and age where it's so easy to pretend to be anyone you want to be," explains in a [ video on YouTube], kynghidongduong.vn where she has 96 million followers. "So many influencers have actually been caught in the act pretending to be at a destination when they really weren't; it's just either Photoshop, or it's not even them."
