'Yes, you did that Tay': Selena Gomez reacts to Taylor Swift winning back rights to her 6 albums
New York [US], May 31 (ANI): Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift's friendship is the kind we all dream of--a perfect example of 'best friend goals.'
Gomez, on Friday, took to her Instagram Story to cheer for her bestie Swift and showed just how "proud" she was after the singer confirmed that she finally owns the masters of her first six albums.
Sharing her excitement, Selena wrote, "YES, YOU DID THAT, TAY. SO PROUD!"
Earlier that day, Swift posted on Instagram to confirm the news. The singer shared three pictures of herself sitting on the floor, smiling, and surrounded by her early albums. She wore a light purple top, jeans, and her signature red lipstick. Along with the pictures, Swift added a caption that read, "You belong with me," referencing her 2008 hit from the album Fearless.
According to People, almost six years ago, Swift's music catalogue was sold to music executive Scooter Braun without her approval. Braun later sold it to Shamrock Capital. In response, Swift began re-recording her albums with "Taylor's Version" to take back ownership of her work.
Gomez and Swift have been close friends since 2008, when they met through the Jonas Brothers. In past interviews, Gomez has spoken fondly of their bond. "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical," Gomez said in 2017, during an interview with KISS FM UK, People reported.
"It was amazing because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair, all the bracelets, and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked," the "Good For You" singer said -- before she jokingly added, "It was the best thing we got out of those relationships." (ANI)

‘His silence roared…': Anand Mahindra calls ‘GOAT' Carlsen's ‘tantrum' a compliment for world champion Gukesh
In a powerful message for the Indian chess sensation, industrialist Anand Mahindra hailed Gukesh Dommaraju for his calm victory over five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen, saying the Indian Grandmaster's silent composure was louder than the Norwegian legend's visible frustration. Calling Carlsen 'GOAT', Mahindra shared a clip of the former slamming his fist into a table after suffering his first defeat by Gukesh in a classical game in Stavanger during the Norway Chess 2025 tournament. 'His silence roared louder than Carlsen's exit," Mahindra wrote in a post on X. 'Carlsen's visible frustration at the end wasn't just a tantrum — it was the greatest compliment the World Champion could receive from the GOAT. No fist pump. No smirk. Gukesh didn't need one. His silence roared louder than Carlsen's exit," he wrote. On Sunday, Carlsen had his opponent on the ropes for much of the match in the Norway Chess 2025 tournament but his composure cracked under the pressure of a ticking clock and he committed a blunder that handed India's Gukesh a decisive advantage, a Reuters report said. Carlsen slammed his fist on the table after the defeat before exchanging a quick handshake with Gukesh, apologising for his outburst and storming off. Magnus Carlsen's outburst left Gukesh shell-shocked on Sunday, although the world champion said he also sometimes loses his temper over the board. "I mean, (the win was) not the way I wanted it to be, but okay, I'll take it," Gukesh told "... I've also banged a lot of tables in my career." Carlsen hailed the reigning world champion Gukesh for his "fighting spirit" and praised him for capitalising on the opportunity during their encounter in the ongoing Norway Chess 2025. Carlsen had an upper hand over Gukesh for most of the match, but in the end, he couldn't control his nerves, and the teenager turned the tables around and went on to win the match. "I think like I remember being at that age myself. Sometimes our energy and fighting qualities is bigger than the quality of your moves. So for a long time, he was more or less blindly pushing, and then on a normal day, I won that game, and things work quite differently. The thing he does well is he really fights very well. He was there to take his chance, and he deserves credit for that, but that's the kind of chance that I really have to put away; otherwise, I have no chance," Magnus Carlsen told ANI after his win over Hikaru Nakamura on Monday. The 19-year-old world champion also became the second Indian player to beat Carlsen in the competition's history after grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa. Following the win, Gukesh had jumped to third spot in the Norway Chess 2025 points table with 8.5 points, and now he is just one point behind Carlsen and American Fabiano Caruana.

'Grandfather category': Usha Vance recalls how her kids bonded with PM Modi during India visit
Vance family's visit to India in April (ANI photo) US Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, on Monday heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his hospitality after the Vance family visited India in April. Usha said meeting PM Modi was very special, and her kids put him in the "grandfather category" after meeting him. "Meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that was really very special. My kids saw him — they were sort of sleep-deprived in Paris, and they saw an Indian man with a white beard and white hair, and they just put him in the grandfather category immediately," Usha said. "They are very into him; they just love him, and he really cemented his status by giving our five-year-old a birthday present that day. When we were able to visit his home, they just sort of ran up. They were hugging him. He was just incredibly kind and generous to them," said US Second Lady Usha Vance on meeting PM Modi during their visit to India. Usha claimed that JD Vance had a very productive conversation with PM Modi, and the visit was a real opportunity for them to "cement the personal relationship." "I think it was a very productive conversation for JD Vance and the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), of course. But also, I think it was a real opportunity for us to kind of cement that personal relationship that they have, which I think is only to the good," she said. "There was a puppet show that was a particular highlight, with sort of puppeteering from all over the country, including from Andhra Pradesh, where my family is from. There were bits from the Ramayana, there were sort of comedic bits with animals, and it was a huge hit. My kids have been trying to recreate it at home with construction paper," said US Second Lady Usha Vance on meeting PM Modi and their visit to India. JD Vance, along with his family, was on a four-day visit to India, which was also his first official visit to the country since assuming office. JD Vance is married to Usha Chilukuri Vance, a Yale Law graduate and accomplished attorney whose family hails from Andhra Pradesh. Fluent in Telugu and deeply connected to her cultural heritage, Usha is one of the most prominent Indian-American women in conservative legal circles. She's also been a transformative influence in JD's life—not just personally, but spiritually.

‘Magnus was distracted by curry scent': Instead of applause, D Gukesh's win video draws racist hate on TikTok
A video of when D Gukesh sealed a win against Magnus Carlsen is going viral on social media. It shows the moment Carlsen banged a table in frustration after losing to the 18-year-old Indian in Norway Chess 2025. However, some social media users, instead of just celebrating the Indian champion, have flooded the comments section with racist remarks. Many users targeted Gukesh's nationality with xenophobic and derogatory comments, sparking outrage online. An NRI pointed it out in an X post and wrote, 'Can I ask why isn't @NorwayChess moderating its TikTok account, despite repeated racist comments targeting Gukesh? These comments are visible, liked by thousands, and consistently appear at the top.' The individual further shared a screenshot of a remark under the video that reads, 'Magnus was distracted by the curry scent (sic).' People had a lot to say about this post. An individual remarked, 'West hates Indians, they always did.' Another added, 'They encourage racism against Indians.' A third expressed, 'No worries. The whole world hates India's rise. Who cares about trolls? Let them waste their time and mind.' A fourth wrote, 'They can't accept the fact an Indian talent got over the top. Nobody from the West is complaining about Magnus' attitude, saying it's all. It's pure jealousy.' The 18-year-old sealed a surprising win against the World No. 1 in their Round 6 face-off. Initially, Gukesh was in a losing position. However, after a blunder by Carlsen, the Indian clinched a win against the Norwegian. Gukesh's grandfather, Shankar Rajesh, defended Carlsen by saying, 'That is natural.' He continued, 'He will be relaxed, and he will be practising.' Talking about his grandson's win, he told ANI, 'One of the major achievements which he hadn't achieved before, he achieved now. Gukesh has now beaten Magnus Carlsen as well. There is no pressure on him now.'
