Over the weekend, but not yet over The Weeknd, Selena Gomez turned 25.

Last week she preemptively celebrated this quarter-life milestone by taking a very Instagrammable trip to Napa Valley with eight of her closest gal pals. A group that notably did not include Selena’s most famous bestie, Taylor Swift.

But as exclusive as that trip was, for her actual birthday, the creme de Selena’s crop of friends got cut down to an even smaller group of women Selena has nicknamed, “my people.”

But who are “those people?”

Here’s what you need to know.

While I assumed it might be difficult to identify these faceless, tagless women, I was wrong.

Because these aren’t a random smattering of friends Selena knows from different walks of life, they’re all best friends with each other.

How she describes herself: “give love. speak truth.”
How many pictures has she posted with Selena Gomez in the past month: NONE! Ashley Cook’s friendship quirk is that she doesn’t post photos with Selena. Or if she does, she either doesn’t tag them or does what she can to cover up Selena’s face. It’s sweet?
When’s the last time she posted a picture with Selena: October 2015

She’s also maybe a Trump supporter or maybe just really bad at writing clear captions.

the tradition of class and poise that has always been a part of this day make me proud to be an American.
