Taylor Swift celebrates Selena Gomez's birthday as Francia Raisa fuels feud rumors
Pop superstar Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at Selena Gomez's 33rd birthday celebration in Los Angeles, turning heads with a throwback-themed look. The intimate event, held at the historic Roosevelt Hotel, also included Gomez's fiancé Benny Blanco and a few close friends. The birthday bash comes just weeks after Swift and Travis Kelce made their red carpet debut at Tight End University. Swift, who's remained close to Gomez since their early double-date days with the Jonas brothers, flew in from Nashville to attend the celebration. Fans quickly flooded social media with photos of the duo — affectionately nicknamed 'Taylena' — praising their enduring friendship. The Instagram post by Gomez featuring Swift sparked viral buzz, especially given the timing. Just hours earlier, Gomez's former best friend and kidney donor, Francia Raisa, posted a behind-the-scenes video from 'Celebrity Family Feud' with Justin Bieber's new love song 'Daisies' playing in the background. Bieber later reshared it to his stories, causing fans to speculate about the state of Raisa and Gomez's once-close relationship. While Raisa insisted the song choice was unintentional and focused her caption on the charity she supported, online sleuths saw it as subtle shade — especially since 'Daisies' is dedicated to Hailey Bieber. The contrast between Swift's public support and Raisa's potentially pointed post has reignited feud rumors, adding drama to an otherwise joyful occasion.

Selena Gomez's kidney donor, Francia Raisa signals support for Justin Bieber fueling feud rumours
Francia Raisa has reignited speculation over her friendship with Selena Gomez after sharing an Instagram post that featured Justin Bieber's new song 'Daisies.' The track, a heartfelt dedication to Hailey Bieber from his latest album Swag, played in the background of Raisa's behind-the-scenes content from Celebrity Family Feud. Bieber later reshared the post to his Instagram Stories, sparking renewed interest in Raisa's apparent support. In the caption, Raisa wrote, 'Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal.' She revealed the episode was filmed the same weekend as her late friend Supanna's birthday, a connection that made the experience deeply meaningful. Raisa's team played for The Breasties, a cancer support nonprofit. Still, fans focused on her song choice. With 'Daisies' being a known tribute to Hailey Bieber and Raisa's former best friend, Selena Gomez, notably absent from the post, users on social media speculated whether this marked the end of their once-close bond. Bieber's quiet repost only added to the intrigue. Raisa and Gomez have had a complex relationship since Raisa famously donated a kidney to the singer in 2017. While they've both downplayed reports of a rift, public interactions have been minimal in recent years. Now, with Raisa embracing a track by Gomez's most high-profile ex, fans are left wondering if the silence between them speaks volumes.

Francia Raisa, Selena Gomez's kidney donor, shows support for Justin Bieber, igniting fallout rumours with former best friend
Francia Raisa, best known as Selena Gomez's long-time friend and kidney donor, appears to be throwing subtle support behind Justin Bieber. In a recent Instagram post celebrating her appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, Raisa used a song by Bieber and opened up about the personal meaning behind her chosen charity. But it was the inclusion of Bieber's track and his reaction that had fans reading between the lines. Justin reshared her post on his Instagram Story, adding more fuel to the fire. Francia Rasia's Justin Bieber song choice has the internet talking In her Instagram post, Francia shared behind-the-scenes moments from filming Celebrity Family Feud with her family, where they competed for The Breasties, a nonprofit supporting people affected by cancer. She wrote, Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal." She revealed that the episode was filmed in May, on the same weekend as her friend Supanna's birthday. Supanna, who passed away from cancer, had found comfort through The Breasties during her battle. Francia added, 'I know in my gut she was with us that day helping us out.' But what caught fans' attention was the audio clip she used—Justin Bieber's unreleased track Daisies from his latest album, Swag. Justin Bieber reacts by resharing Francia's post Shortly after Francia shared her post, Justin Bieber took notice. The singer reposted it to his Instagram Stories, highlighting the use of his track and acknowledging her support. While he didn't add any caption, the gesture didn't go unnoticed by fans. However, it's not new for Bieber to throw shade at Selena-adjacent topics. Recently, fans noticed the Baby singer was seen interacting with an X account that mostly operates as a Selena Gomez hate account. The song 'Daisies' is reportedly about Hailey Bieber Daisies is Justin Bieber at his most unfiltered, soft, stripped back, and straight from the heart. Dropped on July 14, 2025, just days after his surprise album Swag hit, the track feels like a direct letter to Hailey Bieber. He sings about emotional distance and staying grounded through it, with lines like 'You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message' and 'Don't wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin.' Francia and Selena: from soul sisters to distant friends Once known for their unbreakable bond, Francia Raisa and Selena Gomez have seemingly grown apart in recent years. The two made headlines back in 2017 when Francia donated a kidney to Selena, who needed the transplant due to complications from lupus. But in the years since, their relationship has faced ups and downs, some of them playing out publicly. While they've occasionally denied a rift, fans have noticed fewer interactions and subtle shade on social media. With Francia now casually supporting Justin, Selena's famous ex, some are wondering if the two former best friends have fully gone their separate ways.

How Steve Harvey changed ‘Family Feud': ‘I turned it into a comedy show'
ATLANTA - Like Alex Trebek on "Jeopardy!" and Bob Barker on "The Price Is Right," Steve Harvey found a match made in game show heaven with "Family Feud." Harvey, 68, has been hosting the show forlonger than original host Richard Dawson. Since 2010, he has presided over more than 2,700 syndicated episodes and another 100-plus "Celebrity Family Feud" episodes on ABC. Harvey, an Atlanta resident who made it big as a stand-up comic and sitcom star in the 1990s, has shot most of his syndicated show in metro Atlanta, but producers this season moved the celebrity version from Los Angeles to Tyler Perry Studios. The series returned Thursday night on ABC with Taraji P. Henson vs. Jennifer Hudson, followed by Dan Patrick vs. Rich Eisen. Harvey spoke with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on set in May after actress andAtlanta resident Kat Graham competed against fellow actress Francia Raisaon an episode scheduled to air July 17. He changed "Family Feud" to fit him: "I made a conscious decision when I first got the show that I had to make it more than a show about a survey. I don't think people would tune in or care about what 100 people think about anything. I made the show about the contestants and our relationship and their answers. It doesn't matter what's on the board. I'm going to have fun with your answer. I turned it into a comedy show." Time has passed - and so has his hair: "Most of the younger generation don't know about my stand-up. They think I'm a game show host and motivational speaker. My makeup artist said she didn't know I ever had hair. She thought I was born a bald-headed baby. I have to understand how long I've been doing this. When I had my sitcom out, she wasn't even born." On Los Angeles losing business to other locations: "L.A. was king of the castle for so long. But they have to step up their game, or they're going to be obsolete. It makes sense to come to Tyler Perry Studios. This lot is as good as anything in L.A." (After the interview, California greatly enhanced its tax credit program.) On Dawson, the man who made "Family Feud" famous in the 1970s and 1980s: "He was the dude. And that was a different time. He kissed everybody. And he got married to one of the contestants!" How "Celebrity Family Feud" is different from the regular version: "The timing of the show is different. The way you pace the show is different. A lot of the actors and musicians don't know how the game works. You have to tell them to get in the huddle. You have to walk them through it." Favorite guest: "Anthony Anderson's mom Doris (Hancox). I've known her for years. I used to hold a domino tournament in L.A., and she would come. She says whatever she wants to say. I don't know how we handled it. She is so serious, but she's so funny, too." Notable upcoming guest: "E-40 was part of Lil Jon's crew. He is such a special guy. He's a solid dude. I told the story about what happened at this lunar ball in LA. I saw one of his crew members being disrespectful to a woman, and E-40 took him into a trailer. When the dude came out, he looked different. He apologized to that woman. That spoke volumes to the type of guy E-40 is. Don't disrespect women!" His friendship with Cedric the Entertainer, part of "The Steve Harvey Show" and the Kings of Comedy tour: "Ced is my best friend in this business. He's a special human being. We've never had a dispute or fall out. People ask me who is the funniest person alive. It's Cedric the Entertainer. Nobody makes me laugh harder." Retirement? "I don't see it right now. I've always been a worker. My dad ingrained that in me. Work hard. Don't ask for anything. Wait til you have the money to do it. I just work." --- If you watch "Celebrity Family Feud," 8 p.m. ET Thursdays on ABC, available on Hulu. --- Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
