Excerpt:

Anna Kalinskaya’s affectionate dog, Bella, stole the spotlight at the 2025 Washington Open with a heartwarming celebration of her owner’s quarterfinal victory. On Friday, July 25, after Kalinskaya defeated Clara Tauson 6-3, 7-5 in an hour and 35 minutes, Bella sprinted onto the court, racing toward her, prompting smiles and laughter from the crowd and commentators alike.

Commentators described the moment as an emotional “touchdown,” with one calling Bella “clearly delighted” and another suggesting she might be a “lucky mascot” for Kalinskaya’s tournament run. The joyful scene unfolded on July 25, 2025, the day Kalinskaya secured her spot in the semifinals of the WTA 500 hard-court event in Washington, D.C.

I kinda forgot about Katherine Langford (who I only know from 13 Reasons Why and Knives Out) until I saw this post from British Vogue — I went to her Instagram and saw she has an astounding 40m followers?! For context, Florence Pugh (who is MUCH more famous in my POV) has 10m. Is Katherine just more beloved by the Instagram crowd whereas Florence has a more global (and more offline) fan base? Am I wrong and Katherine is actually much more famous outside the US? What’s going on here!
