Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift just dropped another bestie moment on us, and it's exactly the kind of energy we needed to kick off the week. Ahead of her 33rd birthday on July 22, Selena threw a low-key yet glam pre-birthday bash with her inner circle, including fiancé Benny Blanco. She posted a few snaps from the night, but the photo with Taylor Swift totally stole the show.
Selena Gomez shares heartfelt note ahead of 33rd birthday
Selena may keep her private life closely guarded, but every now and then, she offers fans a glimpse into her most cherished moments, usually spent with close friends and family. Just before her 33rd birthday, the pop star shared a heartfelt note along with a few candid photos, capturing the love and warmth surrounding her special day.
'As I get ready to turn 33, I've been thinking a lot about the journey that brought me to this moment,' Selena Gomez wrote in her birthday post. 'This past year has been the most beautiful one of my life, and I truly have all of you to thank for that.'
She went on to express her gratitude, saying, 'Thank you for your constant love and kindness. Whether you supported me from afar, celebrated the highs, stood by me through the lows, or simply listened—I'll never forget it. I'm beyond grateful and so moved by all the love you've shown.'
Wrapping up her message, the Disney alum added, 'Heading into this next chapter, I'm feeling hopeful and excited. I can't wait to make more memories with you, keep growing, and continue this amazing ride together. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH 🥳.'
Taylor Swift's picture takes the spotlight
The sixth picture shared by the Only Murders in the Building star in the carousel post featured her best friend, Taylor Swift. In the photo, Gomez and Swift are surrounded by a sea of metallic black, silver, and gold balloons, striking playful yet glamorous poses.
Selena, dressed in a deep-cut black sequin dress, leans forward with her arms extended dramatically toward the camera, sporting fierce and fun expressions. Taylor, sitting beside her, gives the camera a sultry glance with her signature red lips and long blonde hair flowing over her black sparkly outfit.

Fans have gone into detective mode after her official fansite, Taylor Nation, mysteriously began a countdown, sparking speculation that a major drop is imminent. While Swift hasn't confirmed anything just yet, the internet is already buzzing with theories about the album's theme and release date.

Travis Kelce sparks NFL threat over Taylor Swift-inspired celebration now flagged as weapon gesture

Travis Kelce sparks NFL threat over Taylor Swift-inspired celebration now flagged as weapon gesture (Image Via X) Travis Kelce might get in trouble with the NFL if he keeps doing his famous 'bow and arrow' celebration. The Kansas City Chiefs' star performs the move following touchdowns, and his lover Taylor Swift even imitated it at her London concert. The NFL, however, has strict prohibitions against motions resembling weapons; Kelce could incur a fine or worse if he acts it again on the pitch. Travis Kelce could get fined for doing his Taylor Swift-style touchdown dance Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce might be in trouble if he keeps doing the famous 'bow and arrow' celebration that his girlfriend Taylor Swift also performed during her concerts. The NFL may punish Kelce with a fine or even worse if he uses the move again during games. This 'bow and arrow' gesture, which Travis Kelce uses after scoring touchdowns, has caught the attention of NFL officials. The league has been strict about players using hand gestures that look like weapons. In the past season, several NFL stars were fined for using the same pose. Travis Kelce first talked about his special move in October 2023, on his podcast New Heights. He noted the stance draws motivation from shooting for the stars and dreaming large. "One of my favorite quotes from Deion Sanders is, 'If your dreams aren't bigger than you then there's a problem with your dreams,'" he added. Travis Kelce's celebration could cost him just like other NFL stars The trouble started because the NFL has rules about making 'weapon-related gestures'. Even if it's done as part of a dance, the league sees it as breaking the rules. In January 2024, the NFL fined Andrei Iosivas of the Cincinnati Bengals and Jalyx Hunt of the Philadelphia Eagles for using the bow and arrow move after big plays. Other big names like Ja'Marr Chase, George Pickens, Drake London, Allen Lazard, Malik Nabers, and even Travis Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes were also fined for similar moves.

Back in October 2023, Travis Kelce spoke out against the rule. He said, 'I know we don't want this to look like NFL players are shooting guns, I get that. But this is so small and subtle. Unless you're doing it at someone, it shouldn't be a flag.' When Taylor Swift did the same move during her London Eras Tour concert in June 2024, fans loved it and shared it everywhere. She pulled the imaginary bow while singing her new song 'So High School,' which many believe is about Kelce. But now, if Travis Kelce brings it back on the field in the upcoming 2025 season, he could pay the price, literally. FAQs 1. Why could Travis Kelce get fined by the NFL? Because the NFL bans celebration gestures that look like weapons, and Kelce's 'bow and arrow' move breaks that rule. 2. Did Taylor Swift really copy Travis Kelce's celebration? Yes, Taylor Swift did the 'bow and arrow' move during her London Eras Tour in June 2024. 3. Has the NFL fined other players for similar celebrations? Yes, players like Patrick Mahomes and Ja'Marr Chase were also fined for weapon-style gestures.

This 10-episode medical thriller has no superstars, yet became a hit, has 7.6 IMDb rating, its name is…

If you enjoy layered stories built on real-world issues, this one's for you. In 2022, a web series titled Human dropped on Disney+ Hotstar without much fanfare. No massive promotions, no household names leading the cast—but what it had was a storyline that hits hard. In a time where content is everywhere, Human stood out not because of glitz, but because of guts. What's Human all about? Set in the underbelly of the healthcare world, Human explores the shocking reality of illegal drug trials on poor people. It doesn't sugar-coat anything. Instead, it shows how far pharmaceutical giants can go when driven by profit, even if that means putting lives at risk. The plot takes us deep into the workings of hospitals, research labs, and the blurred lines between morality and ambition. Each episode pulls you deeper into a system that seems all too believable—and that's what makes it haunting. Performances that will stay with you Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari lead the cast, and both actresses are phenomenal. They play characters who are complex, flawed, and entirely unforgettable. Shefali in particular delivers one of her finest performances to date. Other strong performances come from Ram Kapoor, Seema Biswas, Vishal Jethwa, and Riddhi Kumar, all of whom lend weight to a story that's already heavy with tension. Binge-worthy with a message Human has 10 episodes, and chances are you'll fly through them. The writing is sharp, the direction is focused, and the pace rarely falters. It's the kind of show you think about long after it's over. Where to watch? The series is streaming now on Disney+ Hotstar.
