    It wouldn’t be a reach to call Taylor Swift the celebrity of celebrities.
    Her Eras Tour is undoubtedly the most sought-after concert of the year and ever yday a host of A-listers can be spotted lipsyncing the bridge from ‘Cruel Summer’ in their VIP boxes.
    If you think it’s just Taylor’s girl gang from the glamour world who are assembling to show their support, you’ve got it wrong. Celebrities across ages, streams and even countries are now taking pride in being called Swifties.
    Some are boasting their #GirlDad skills by whipping out their best glitter eye makeup *cough Channing Tatum cough* while others are making a night around town out of it celebrating their new single life.
    From the boho-chic costumes inspired by all of Taylor’s albums to cluttering their arms with a beaded bracelet, celebrities are just like us. It is a sight to behold when these famous names from around the world are spotted exchanging arm jewels with the original Swifties in the stadiums.
    Taylor’s a girl’s girl and her tour is a testament to female friendship and the bond of womanhood (even if they are strangers). While concerts lately have been in the news for rowdy crowds and their inappropriate behaviour with the artists, it is refreshing to see celebrities and other swifties just singing the multiple bridges of her songs in harmony.
    One such video that recently went viral was of Taylor’s best friend and fellow music stalwart, Selena Gomez. In the video, the Rare beauty founder was seen holding her sister Gracies close, as they sang the lines to the iconic song ‘Lover’. Now isn’t this what music should be all about?

    Bella Hadid and 5 other celebrities who have been vocal about their health battles

    Bella Hadid has been MIA not just from social media but also from the world of fashion.
    The supermodel was a part of every major campaign, runway show and even the most viral moments of 2022 (remember the iconic live spray painting during the Coperni show?). But ever since the beginning of 2023, the Palestinian-Dutch model has taken a sabbatical from work because of health reasons.
    For a few years now, the younger Hadid sister has been vocal about her battle with Lyme disease. An illness she has been living with for over 15 years. Bella along with her mother Yolanda and brother Anwar, all suffer from this medical condition.
    Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It often leads to symptoms like fever, fatigue, headache, and a characteristic “bull’s-eye” rash. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to prevent more severe complications. If you suspect you have Lyme disease, it’s important to consult a medical professional.

    Recently, after a long hiatus, the 26-year-old model took to Instagram to share a positive update with her followers. “Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain. To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever. one thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay and you do not have to worry, ♥️and 2:I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today.”
    The Kin Euphorics founder spoke about the importance of health, a supportive enviroment and how important it was for her to keep it real and transparent.
    While social media is infamous for showing us the glossy side of the celebrity lives, over the years many of them have come forward and spoken openly about their health condition. It is vital to lift the veil of illusion around the perfectionism that is often associated with the celebrity culture.
    Scroll the above gallery to see all the brave celebrities who have been open about their struggles with various illnesses.

    A stage name has the power to make or break a career.

    From Grammy award-winning singers to actors on the big screen, a myriad of celebrities are now known by a name different to their birth certificate. The artistic name was born to create a character and simply stand out from the rest.

    5 inspiring celebrities embracing their vitiligo

    Lifestyle

    by Sarah Joseph
    2 hours ago

    Proving that vitiligo is no barrier to success, several celebrities have broken the shackles against it.
    The condition is caused due to lack of melanin resulting in skin pigment. While some treatments have been developed, there’s no long-term solution.
    Affecting approximately 70 million people worldwide, many celebrities are known to have the condition.
    However, instead of trying to hide the condition, they proudly embrace it, becoming inspirations for many around the globe.
    Salama Mohammed

    One of the most vocal high-profile personalities to embrace her vitiligo is Emirati content creator Salama Mohamed. In a previous interview with Emirates Woman, she admitted it was difficult growing up with the condition. “It was a struggle growing up, when you feel you are different and don’t fit in it is easier to think there is something wrong with you,” she admitted. But today, she embraces her vitiligo “every inch” of her being, and even has the words “Blessed with vitiligo” in her Instagram bio. Through her journey, she was motivated to launch her own skincare brand, Peacefull.
    Winnie Harlow

    Winnie Harlow rose to stardom after appearing on America’s Next Top Model in 2014. As a strong advocate for breaking down conventional beauty standards, Harlow has used her platform to raise awareness for skin positivity. Having appeared in campaigns for big labels such as Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Marc Jacobs and more, she has broken the boundaries surrounding vitiligo. The supermodel was diagnosed with this chronic skin condition at the age of four and ever since a young age has been vocal about how this shouldn’t define her.
    Karen Wazen

    Content creator and Dubai-based entrepreneur Karen Wazen shared her journey with vitiligo back in June 2021. Opening up about her experience and her diagnosis, the mum-of-three encouraged everyone to accept themselves for who they are. “Accepting ourselves and bodies and differences is the biggest strength we can have, once we are in this state of mind nothing will affect the way we see ourselves,” she said.
    Shahad Salman

    Saudi fashion model Shahad Salman is breaking barriers in the modelling industry. The 25-year-old model embraces her vitiligo and continues to be motivated by her ambition to succeed in the industry. Born to challenge stereotypes, the model projects self-confidence in every project she takes on, including her latest role as an ambassador for Pantene.
    Holly Marie Combs

    Best known for her role in Pretty Little Liars, Holly Marie Combs has vitiligo, a condition that she has been open about over the years.
