Selena Gomez is surrounded by adoring fans, a supportive family and the most loving group
of friends…
BUT she just revealed the one thing that’s getting in the way of her actual love life!
We have one word…
RIHANNA!
What’s up y’all, it’ Emile Ennis Jr. back here with Clevver News, and Selena Gomez
just revealed that her Rihanna obsession is really putting a damper on her everyday life.
Being a fan, or as the kids like to call it, a “stan” of a specific celebrity is a
full time job… you’re constantly keeping up with their latest announcements, Instagram
posts, and basically dissecting their every move.
That said, it’s not everyday you hear about celebs who stan other celebs, but Selena Gomez
has once again proved she’s just like us and unleashed her obsession with Rihanna.
Selena’s love of Rihanna has been a beacon of light in terms of confidence, female empowerment
and all-around badassery, but she also revealed that Rihanna tends to add a little bit of
difficulty to her love life.
We’re gonna break down all the details, but before we do, make sure you subscribe

miss a breaking news update.
Alright, so during an at-home interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio,
the two chatted it up about Selena’s deep obsession with Rihanna.
Once Zane barely mentioned Rihanna, Selena took the rest of the interview and ran with
it.
“All I’m going to say is from the get go, I’ve been a Rihanna fan.
‘SOS’ to now.
So there isn’t any real moment that it isn’t gold, but ‘Love on the Brain,’ and when
she performed that live, I think that’s one of the greatest songs of our time.”
Definitely can’t argue with that one, but now that Selena has admitted herself as a
frontline member of the Navy, Zane asked if RiRi was her absolute favorite, to which Sel
admitted that her superfandom is so strong that sometimes it tends to… ummm… “jock-block”
her when it comes to dating, if you get where I’m going with this…
Not like you’re looking to also destroy your love life, but in case you were curious,
you can buy that Rihanna coffee table book that came out last year for $100 on Amazon.
Definitely worth every penny in my opinion!
Fans quickly began chiming in on Selena’s love for Rihanna, hoping this would call for
a sultry collab, like one user who wrote, “When we get a collab, now that’s a cultural
reset.”
Others were quick to find some similarities between the two, and the shade was REAL…
One user wrote, “Of course she’s a fan of Rihanna, they both love to keep music from
their fans.”
Ok that cracked me up, but Selena has released music for us, so we can relax.
But I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Selena’s interview with Zane and if you
can also relate to the Rihanna superfandom so be sure to chime in down below in the comments.
Speaking of Selena’s love life, not only is Rihanna to blame, but she recently credited
the pandemic for helping put her love life on the back burner.
Sel recently took to Instagram to share that dating is not currently a priority just ahead
of the release of her new song “Boyfriend,” explaining that the song was written, “long
before our current crisis,” and that, “In the context of today, I want to be clear that
a boyfriend is nowhere near the top of my list of priorities.”
Anyway, aside from men, Selena praised many other female artists during her interview
with Apple Music, including Stevie Nicks, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.
She called Taylor one of the best songwriters of our time, and also revealed that she’s
never met Stevie, but revealed that she’s a definite bucket list item, saying QUOTE,
“I mean, ideally I would have probably, at my wedding, would love for Stevie or someone
in that world to sing at my wedding.
That's like music, you know?”
But when it comes to Billie, Sel revealed how emotional she gets when listening to her
music, especially, “Everything I Wanted.”
Selena went on to praise Billie for being an amazing artist and even added that Billie
“deserved every single thing that she got and has.”
We always love to see females supporting females as Selena continues to prove time and time
again that she is a class act.
