Saúl Hernández prays for Alejandro Marcovich in concert

40 years after the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, one song continues to resonate in the memories of fans: the ChiquitiBum.

It was born during that World Cup and became one of the most recognized cheerleaders in the country. Its catchy rhythm and its ease of chanting it took it beyond soccer: today it is part of family gatherings, parties and celebrations.

Over time, the ChiquitiBum stopped being just a stadium shout. It became an emblem of Mexican popular culture. Several generations adopted it as a way to celebrate.

A return with new airs

Four decades after its appearance, the porra returns with a new musical interpretation. It maintains its essence, but incorporates contemporary elements to bring it closer to a younger audience.

The commemoration also includes items inspired by the aesthetics of 1986. It is a tribute to one of the most remembered elements of the World Cup held in Mexico.

Regardless of its origin, ChiquitiBum continues to be an expression that reflects the festive atmosphere of that World Cup. And 40 years later, it remains alive in the collective memory of Mexicans.

A wedding that paralyzed New York

Singer Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce tied the knot in New York over the Fourth of July weekend. The ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden, transformed into a giant garden for more than a thousand guests.

Adam Sandler officiated the event. Swift had her brother Austin as man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother Jason as best man. The bride’s dress was by Christian Dior, with Louboutin shoes and Cartier jewelry. Kelce also wore Dior.

Among the attendees were Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Jessica Chastain, Dakota Johnson, Camila Cabello, Karlie Kloss, Ethan Hawke, Lena Dunham and the Haim sisters. Stevie Nicks gave a special performance.

The wedding was planned in absolute secrecy. Guests signed confidentiality agreements and the city beefed up security over the long weekend. At the end, the screens at Madison Square Garden showed the message:

“Just T&T Married”

And the Empire State Building lit up blue.

The love story began in July 2023, when Kelce attended the Eras Tour in Kansas City and tried to give Swift a bracelet with her number. Although she failed, the singer agreed to meet him. They got engaged in August 2025.

According to reports, they exchanged handwritten vows in small notebooks, an intimate moment despite the magnitude of the event.

With the union of the most influential pop artist and an NFL star, the United States closed its independence weekend with an event that dominated culture and social networks.

Paul Stanley published a touching message on Instagram for the birthday of his father, the late driver Paco Stanley. This Friday, July 3, he would turn 84 years old.

“So my kid boss, today 84 years old, I always love you in my (heart). Your granddaughter is beautiful, her name is Victoria, she asks mom for water all night and she calls me Dada hahahahahahaha. And it goes to Pumas (she says puna),” wrote Paul.

The publication includes a photo of Paco Stanley in his youth. Colleagues like Karla Díaz, Shiky and Andrea Escalona showed support with emoticons.

A memory that hurts and celebrates

Paco Stanley died in 1999 due to an attack. Paul was then 14 years old, an age at which paternal presence is key. This week, during the premiere of “Viva la magic!” from Disney on Ice, Paul attended with his wife Joely Bernat and daughter Victoria.

“It was typical to go to the circus, you went to your lunette and had fun, I did experience it well and today I am experiencing it with my daughter,” he recalled.

For Paul, being a father was always a dream. “I’m trying to give him the best, to have a good childhood,” he commented. The process, he assured, is a constant learning.

The emotional Instagram post and recent statements reflect the bond Paul maintains with his father, even two decades after his departure.
