Here are the reel trends that had us scrolling more this week.
Watching Ed Sheeran team up with Arijit Singh and sing in Punjabi was definitely not on anyone’s 2025 bingo card. But here we are, with Sapphire making its way into our playlists and trending all over, as people fall in love with every bit of this unexpected and beautiful collaboration. We’ve all grown up with certain notions that slowly become part of how we think without even realizing it. This week, a trend called “the propaganda I’m not falling for” took over social media, with people calling out these deeply normalized ideas that deserve to be questioned or unlearned. Speaking of ingrained ideas and perceptions, we’ve all had those moments where we casually share a personal win, only to be misunderstood, dismissed, or met with disbelief. That’s exactly what the “Holy Airball” trend taps into. People are using it to highlight those very instances and remind everyone that their achievements, no matter how casually mentioned, are far from ordinary.
D Gukesh’s victory over world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen turned into an internet moment, not just for the win itself but for the way we celebrated it. The post-match reactions of both players have now become a meme trend, with people recreating those expressions in all kinds of relatable situations. Speaking of memes, another trend doing the rounds features people recreating funny and exaggerated reactions to everyday embarrassing or uncomfortable situations. Like how your mom would react if you forgot your umbrella during the rainy season, or how your gym trainer would respond if they caught you sneaking junk food. The trend is about recreating those familiar, dramatic moments in the most relatable and over-the-top ways.
