Are you still doing the “V” for victory sign? It's out. The latest popular hand gesture is putting both your hands together to make a heart shape. It is called a “hand heart”.Many young pop stars in the USA do this in their photos. “The ‘hand heart’ gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” said Taylor Swift, the country singer. “You can send a sweet and simple message without saying a word.” Swift often does it at her concerts. And some people think she makes this gesture popular.
In some Asian countries, the “hand heart” is popular too, but in a different way. People there put their hands above their heads and make a bigger heart shape with their arms. It means “I love you”.
