    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?

    Zendaya takes over Coachella as a surprise performer

    Life

    Zendaya is not a jack of all trades, she is pretty much a master of everything she does. Case in point: The Euphoria star joined artist Labrinth on stage as they performed popoular tracks from the show at the Coachella music festival.
    The Emmy-winning actor, who is also a singer, hasn’t performed live for almost six years. This was until she broke the internet over the weekend, by singing not just one but two tracks (All For Us andI’m Tired) from the crowd-favourite HBO show.

    “Thank you all for welcoming me back on that stage with open arms. It’s been a very long time, so I appreciate it. I have never heard screaming like that in my entire life. As soon as I turned the corner, I couldn’t hear anything.” The Dune star acknowledged her fans and their heartfelt response to her performance in a series of Instagram stories. She also thanked Labrinth for making this iconic moment happen in the eleventh hour. “Thank you to Lab for inviting me and making all this happen so last minute.”
    Fun fact: Zendaya isn’t just the soul of Euphoria as Rue, but she also plays a poignant part in making the music for this infamous series. Apart from originally singing All For Us, she has also co-written Still Don’t Know My Name, alongside Labrinth and Muzhda Zemar-McKenzie.
    Taking a 360° pivot from her style on the show, Zendaya wore a flirty pink mini dress on a white tank top and clubbed it with a pair of thigh-high boots.
