Selena Gomez Liked One of The Weeknd's Pics, and the Internet Is Freaking Out
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd sadly saw their romance fizzle out at the end of October. But thanks to social media, we live in a time where we never really lose track of our exes. They’re always out there in the “searchable somewhere,” which is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how it all went down in the end. It’s almost worse when you’re a celebrity—not that I’m speaking from experience here, but it must be, given that you have legions of stanning followers who adored you with your once-significant other and want nothing more than for you to get back together with them, despite whatever personal reasons you might have broken up for. Just guessing here.
Of course, when it comes to celebrity relationships, any sort of non-confrontational or friendly gesture from one half to the other becomes something newsworthy. Add to that the fact that she’s purportedly back with ex Justin Bieber—so when Gomez recently liked one of The Weeknd’s pictures—a picture of him, no less—the Internet lost its damn mind.
Gomez’s like was duly heralded by her top fan accounts, which cued the subsequent tailspin:
Selena and The Weeknd fans were ecstatic:

Others, perhaps on Team Jelena or merely watching from the sidelines, heralded it as a portent of doom and/or intrigue:
And then, like a bell tolling on a cold winter night, a voice of reason chimed in:
Do what you want, you crazy kids—we’re not here to pit exes against each other. It’s honestly just nice to see that there’s no bad blood here.
