The basket included a sticker that read 'Homemade sourdough' and a handwritten note addressed 'For Selena + Benny,' signed 'Love, Taylor.' Another note added a clever touch: 'It's a loaf story,' a nod to Swift's well-known 2008 hit 'Love Story.'
Swift, 35, has been friends with Gomez for years. The two were recently seen together in an Instagram photo Gomez posted on July 20, reflecting on what she called 'the most beautiful year' of her life. The image showed them sitting together in a room filled with balloons, celebrating the milestone.
Known for her love of baking, Swift has previously shared treats with those around her. In May, she made Pop-Tarts for Travis Kelce's photo shoot team. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid also revealed in 2024 that Swift once baked for the team's offensive linemen, making pastries to help her bond with the group.
Blanco, Gomez's fiancé since December 2024, is also known for food-themed gestures. Earlier this year, he surprised Gomez with a Valentine's Day gift involving a bathtub filled with queso and a chip trail leading to a message that read 'I heart you.'
Swift's bread and message offer a quieter moment of affection and creativity, fitting for a birthday celebration rooted in genuine friendship.

Police raid Neon's livestream with Iggy Azalea after swatting and illegal gambling allegations

A livestream hosted by controversial internet personality Rangesh 'N3on' Mutama, better known as Neon, was abruptly interrupted on August 4, 2025, after a reported swatting incident led police to raid the show mid-broadcast. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea was a guest on the stream, which aired on Kick. Clips circulating online show uniformed officers entering the set as the broadcast continued live. Several individuals were reportedly detained at the scene amid accusations of illegal gambling activities occurring during the show. However, whether these allegations are valid or part of the swatting hoax remains unclear. Multiple people were arrested on Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted over suspected illegal gambling 👀 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 4, 2025 Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke an armed police response — a serious federal crime that has affected numerous streamers. In this case, the tip-off allegedly included claims of unlicensed gambling taking place live. While Neon has a history of online controversy — including a prior swatting incident in 2024 and an arrest in Dubai — this latest disruption highlights rising tensions between livestreaming and public safety. Among the guests on the stream was Iggy Azalea, who has recently ventured into livestreaming and cryptocurrency-related content. Although she appeared on camera during the police entry, there is no suggestion that Azalea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing. The earliest report of the incident surfaced via a post from user FearedBuck, who wrote, 'Several were detained during Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted due to suspected illegal gambling.' That quote has since spread widely across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, often without attribution or verification. As the footage continues to trend, law enforcement has not released an official statement. Until more reliable reporting emerges, speculation around arrests or confirmed gambling activity remains unverified.

Zara McDermott confirms relationship with Louis Tomlinson through PDA-filled Instagram post

Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson have confirmed their relationship on social media after months of speculation. On August 4, McDermott shared a selfie on Instagram showing the couple kissing, accompanied by a simple red heart emoji. The post marked their first public acknowledgment of their romance online. The former Love Island star and One Direction singer were first linked earlier this year after being spotted on a private date. They reportedly began dating in early 2025 and went Instagram official in June after appearing together at Glastonbury Festival, where they were seen displaying affection in a TikTok video. McDermott's latest post quickly attracted attention, with fans flooding the comments in excitement. Messages included 'LOVE YOU GUYS,' 'Favourite couple,' and 'OMFG THE HARD LAUNCH.' Actress Ellie Leach, a close friend of McDermott's, commented, 'soooooo here for this.' Despite their growing romance, the relationship has seen some public tension. In June, Tomlinson encountered McDermott's ex-boyfriend, Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, at the Soccer Aid charity match. According to the Daily Mail, the two had held peace talks at the team hotel, but Tomlinson reportedly ignored Thompson following the match. McDermott and Thompson ended their five-year relationship in December 2024. Speaking to The Sun, McDermott later shared that public scrutiny around her personal life has been 'frustrating,' adding that she now values 'real relationships and real support' over social media appearances. Meanwhile, Thompson recently reflected on the emotional aftermath of the split during an episode of Pete Wicks' Man Made podcast. He described the start of the year as 'uncomfortable' and admitted he's still learning to become more emotionally independent.
