We all know that our girl Selena Gomez has been single for a couple years now, but she
just subtly made it clear again that she doesn’t have any bad blood with one of her exes and
also is here for publicly supporting a rumored past fling.
What’s up guys?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News bringing you all the latest news updates you
need to know and we are all spending pretty much all of our time at home these days and
consuming entertainment of all kinds like shows, movies, and music.
And so we were super excited when Spotify recently announced that they are offering
some great celebrity-curated playlists.
According to Spotify, the playlists and podcasts are intended to "bring a sense of connection
and comfort to listeners when they need it most."
And they definitely do that!
There are playlists for everything from a work out playlist curated by Normani to a
gaming playlist by Lil Yatchy, but one that caught our eye was the cooking playlist with
Selena Gomez.
Selena casually revealed that she enjoys listening to one of her exes and rumoured past flings
(granted, who is also a really good friend) while she cooks and we are here for all cooking
and all the tea.
And we’ll fill you in, but real quick, make sure you’ve subscribed to Clevver News if
you haven’t already and click the bell so you never miss out on any breaking news updates.
Ok so Selena announced her collaboration with Spotify on her Instagram story yesterday.
Then on her next story she scrolled through the playlist and briefly showed fans what
songs were on it.
And some of the artists on the playlist are Rihanna, Kasey Musgraves, Summer Walker, Harry
Styles, Cardi B, Rosalia, and herself.
But two names in particular popped out on Sel’s playlist.
The Weeknd and Niall Horan.
The Weeknd's new track "Snowchild" and Niall’s song "Slow Hands" both made the cut onto Selena’s
cooking playlist.
We all know that Selena and The Weeknd dated for around a year back in 2017.
They attended major events together like the Met Gala, and kissed their way up those famous
stairs!
But by the end of 2017 they went their separate ways likely due to both long distance and
their exes creeping back into the picture.
But they still supported each other and remained friendly.
Niall and Selena on the other hand, were likely always ‘just friends’ - I mean they’ve
told us that in the past, as have a number of ‘sources’ - but there have been many
rumors circulating about these two dating at one point or another.
Most recently, fans went nuts over this group photo where Niall had his arm around Sel while
hanging with a group of friends.
This wasn’t a relationship confirmation by any means, but it didn’t stop fans at
the time immediately start shipping these 2 again.
However, as recently as February this year, Niall set the record straight when asked by
Australian Radio Hosts Kyle and Jackie O if he was dating Sel by saying Quote: “Here
we go again…
Myself and Selena are really good friends with the same group of mates.”
Anyway, regardless, fans were here for Sel’s support of both Niall and The Weeknd on her
playlist and commended her for her great taste in music.
One fan listened to the playlist and wrote quote, “Guys, seriously the playlist is
SO good!!
Our girl has taste…”
This selenator chimed in with, “Queen of taste, abel on repeat #sorrynotsorry”
This person pointed out that while they were happy to see two of her former flings on the
playlist, they were happy to not see Justin Bieber on there.
They wrote quote, “Her and niall may have been a thing but are still friends and the
weeknd and sel have no bad blood we love to see it.
I’m just happy that Justin isn’t anywhere on this playlist”
And I want to know what you guys think about all of this.
Do you think it meant anything more or cryptic by Selena putting these songs on her playlist?
Or do you think it's simply that she loves and supports their music?
Let me know what you think down in the comments and get that conversation started.
Alright, while some people were just excited about Sel’s cooking playlist, others read
into the meaning of why she chose specific songs.
In particular, fans called out the Weeknd’s song Snowchild.
And if you’ve been keeping up with Selena in recent weeks, you know that this isn’t
the first time she’s shouted out this song by The Weeknd.
Last month, Selena decided to share a list of movies, books and songs she’s been enjoying
while social distancing.
She wrote quote, “I shared a few lists in my stories of things I’m watching, listening
to and reading to keep me positive and help pass the time.
Hope it helps you.”
And in the music category was Snowchild.
This obviously caught fans attention then and even more so now that she’s given the
song a shout out twice.
And this song is an interesting choice because fans are torn over whether this song is about
Selena or The Weeknd’s other romance, Bella Hadid.
And now that Sel has included this song on her cooking playlist, fans are speculating
why and wondering if she’s trying to send a message.
One fan who clearly thinks Snowchild is about Selena wrote quote, “She’s making sure
everyone knows who that song is about”
But another fan thinks the song is about Bella and wrote, “Part of me thinks she loves
this entire album but chooses to support this one song the most because it is assumed widely
to be about Bella and she can show support to both of them without drama.”
And while the jury’s still out on who the song is about, I think we can all agree it’s
a great song, even Selena loves it.
