Selena Gomez isn’t letting a past breakup get in the way of making a solid quarantine
playlist.
So much so that she actually included a song from her ex on a playlist she shared with
fans!
What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and it seems like Selena Gomez has no hard feelings for her ex The
Weeknd, despite him recently shading their relationship on his new album!
You may be wondering why no hard feelings?
Or how do you know?!

Alright so in case you forgot, Sel and The Weeknd dated for almost a year back in 2017.
I mean really though, how could you forget…
They attended major events together like the Met Gala, basically making out all the way
up the famous stairs!
And they weren’t afraid to show a little PDA on every red carpet they stepped out on.
They even reportedly lived together and had a puppy together in NY for a bit in the fall
of 2017 when Sel was filming a movie there.
But by October of 2017, Selena and The Weeknd were officially over.
It seems like their relationship ended because their exes creeped back into the picture.
Just before their breakup, Selena and her ex Justin Bieber were spotted having breakfast
together, going to church together, and then spending time at each other’s houses.
Meanwhile, Page Six published a report that The Weeknd and Drake were beefing because
Drake allegedly had a fling with The Weeknd's ex, Bella Hadid.
And when Selena and The Weeknd split, People Magazine reported that the distance got too
hard for them to stay together but they still remained in touch.
Selena confirmed this to Billboard when she said quote, “Something that I’m really
proud of is that there’s such a true friendship between me and The Weeknd.
I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life.
We ended it as best friends.
It was genuinely about encouraging and caring for each other, and that was pretty remarkable
for me.”
So it didn’t really seem like there was any bad blood there.
And now, years after they announced their split Selena just subtly supported The Weeknd’s
music and fans are pretty shook over it.
While she’s practicing social distancing, Selena decided to share a list of movies,
books and songs she’s been enjoying during this challenging time.
And we definitely appreciate a thorough list like this right now!
Selena went category by category telling fans what she’s been into.
She wrote quote, “Here are some of the things I’ve been watching, listening to, and reading
to keep me positive and help pass the time.
I hope it helps!”
She started off by listing some of her new favorite movies which includes recent hits
like the Invisible Man (one of my recent faves too) and Uncut Gems, but she also included
some of our favorite classics like Clueless.
Sel went on to share some of her favorite IG accounts and TV Shows.
And we’ve gotta agree, watching SNL reruns is ALWAYS a good idea.
But people perked all the way up when she got to what music she’s listening to.
For her list of songs, Sel included music from her friends and collaborators like Julia
Michaels, but she also included The Weeknd’s song “Snowchild” from his new record.
And fans are freaking out over this for multiple reasons.
Before we get into that, were you surprised to see this on Selena’s stories and feed?
And what do you think it means?
Let me know your thoughts and get the conversation started down in the comments below.
As for fans, some are shocked that Selena would tag The Weeknd at all, and others think
the song is actually about her.
One person wrote quote, “wtf is happening?
selena gomez just mentioned and tagged the weeknd on her ig stories and said snowchild
is her fav song which is lowkey about her lmaooo”
Another pointed out that The Weeknd’s on again off again boo, Bella Hadid is actually
featured on the track!
They tweeted quote, “Glad Selena likes Bella’s song #theweeknd #selenagomez”
And another wrote, “Selena really tagged The Weeknd on her story and now I am on my
abelena feelings!!!”
And while Selena is listening to Snowchild, there are more songs on The Weeknd’s album
that are supposedly about both her and Bella Hadid.
Lyrics in both "Heartless" and "Blinding Lights," seemingly address The Weeknd’s breakups
with Selena and Bella.
In "Heartless," lyrics reference his reconciliation with Bella after breaking up with Selena.
He sings quote, "You just came back in my life / You never gave up on me (Why don't
you?)/ I'll never know what you see (Why won't you?)
/ I don't do well when alone (Oh yeah) / You hear it clear in my tone."
The Weeknd also threw some potential shade at Selena in his song After Hours.
Check it out.
I mean the “I stayed with her in spite of you” hit a little different than the rest
of the lyrics right?
And in the song "Blinding Lights" he alludes to Bella coming back to him.
In his song "Scared to Live," The Weeknd addresses the on-off nature of his relationship with
Bella.
In the lyrics he actually encouraged her to move on with someone else.
He sings, "No, don't be scared to live again / Be scared to live again / You always miss
the chance to fall for someone else (Uh, uh) / 'Cause your heart only knows me."
So while it’s still up in the air if Bella and The Weeknd are back together, it’s clear
that Selena has no hard feelings towards The Weeknd and we love to see that!
Welp, that’s it for now, but if you want to see how else Selena has been doing during
social isolation, click right over here for some more tea.
