It felt like a rollercoaster online with new trends popping up and old conversations sticking around. Scroll through this week's roundup to know more.

Another week, another mix of trends and conversations keeping our feeds busy. The internet found plenty to talk about, with moments that were fun, surprising, and sometimes a little unexpected. Here’s a look at what caught everyone’s attention this week.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, and the internet is celebrating

The internet can’t stop talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement after the couple shared the news in the most endearing way. Their Instagram post, captioned “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” instantly set timelines on fire. Fans and even celebrities have been quick to share their congratulations, while memes and playful posts have turned the news into a full-on online celebration.

The internet crowns Gap the winner in the denim ad battle

You’ve probably scrolled past it at least once already. That super catchy Gap commercial featuring KATSEYE, the global girl group, dancing to Kelis’ “Milkshake” in effortlessly stylish denim, is everywhere on social media. What people are really talking about, though, is how Gap’s new “Better in Denim” campaign compares with American Eagle’s recent ad starring Sydney Sweeney. American Eagle’s spot, released in July 2025, leaned into a “good jeans/genes” pun that left audiences divided. Some viewers called it cringe and even accused it of hinting at eugenics by focusing on Sweeney’s blonde hair and blue eyes, while others, including several conservative voices, praised it as bold. Gap’s campaign is being received very differently. With KATSEYE’s diverse crew bringing a joyful and inclusive energy, the ad is winning praise across platforms. Social media is full of comments like “Gap just showed American Eagle how it’s done,” along with memes that highlight the contrast. Gap has not made any direct reference to its competitor, but the internet has already turned this into a full-on denim showdown.

Internet slang makes it to the Cambridge Dictionary

The Cambridge Dictionary has added more than 6,000 new words to its online database. Among the latest entries are viral slang terms like “skibidi” and “delulu,” along with lifestyle words such as “tradwife” and “broligarchy.” The expansion reflects how social media and popular culture continue to shape the way we speak. According to the dictionary’s experts, these words were chosen not just for their current buzz but for their potential to stay relevant in everyday language.
