What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and The Weeknd dropped his music video for
his song “Snowchild” earlier this week and fans think it’s full of clues about
his past relationships.
In case you missed it, The Weeknd released the music video for Snowchild on Wednesday
and fans are convinced it’s full of clues about Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid, or even both.
Obviously there are a lot of mixed opinions about all of this, so we did some investigating
for you.
We’re gonna lay it all out so you can make your own decision about who you think it’s
about.
Let’s start with why some fans think the track and the music video are about Selena
Gomez.
Just for a quick reminder, Sel and The Weeknd dated back in 2017.
They were first spotted kissing in January, they made their relationship Instagram official
a few months later, and then they made their PDA filled red carpet debut at the Met Gala
that May.
The relationship lasted for around 10 months before they split up in October 2017.
While they claimed their break up was due to their busy schedules, many fans were convinced
the split had something to do with Selena hanging out with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber
again.
And now all these years later, everyone has seemingly moved on and Sel even shared The
Weeknd’s song Snowchild on her Instagram back in March.
But that’s just one of many reasons why fans think this song could be about Selena.
Now that the music video has come out people have found even more alleged Easter eggs.
Let’s start off with the fact that The Weeknd released the video on Selena’s birthday
and believe it or not, there is even a scene with some balloons in it.
Fans also pointed out little things like the stairs in the video looking like the stairs
in some of Selena’s promo shoots.
And others thought that some of the characters in the animated video even resembled Selena.
Now it’s truly hard to tell IF this is supposed to be Selena and we aren’t saying it IS
her, but the fan theories as to why this could be selena are pretty convincing!
Like this person who wrote quote, “he did a double take at someone who wears her hair
very similarly to selena (she’s also wearing his jacket in the second pic).”
And some fans even took to the comments of The Weeknd’s music video to write things
like “did he release a MV of Selena’s favorite song of his on her birthday?” and
“I think someone actually broke his heart that's why he is making this beautiful songs.”
And this fan tweeted about the music video saying quote, “And it confirmed Snowchild
song is about Selena not Bella.”
But other fans don’t think the song is about Selena at all.
They think it’s about his on again off again girlfriend, Bella Hadid.
Bella and The Weeknd met back in 2015 and have broken up and gotten back together multiple
times since.
Where they stand today is still somewhat unclear but last month Us Weekly reported that they
have been in touch recently, so there may be some hope that these two will end up together
after all.
And fans think that some of the lyrics could be about The Weeknd and Bella’s up and down
history like these that go “She never need a man, she what a man need / So I keep on
falling for her daily” and “Paparazzi tryna catch me slippin’ / Going on tour
is my vacation / Every month another accusation / Only thing I’m phobic of is failing / I
was never blessed with any patience.”
Other fans also think that Bella’s laughter is actually used at one point in the song
Snowchild.
Have a listen.
You can make your own assumptions, but again the fan theories are CONVINCING!
One fan wrote quote, “honestly idk who to think Snowchild is about.
If it was about Selena why would he put Bella’s laugh in it?”
Another fan chimed pointing out that “The Weeknd symbolizes Bella’s laugh as sunshine
in the mv #snowchild”
And this person wrote quote, “not selena stans thinking the snowchild mv is for selena......
a song about bella.... with bella giggling in the background...... okay”
Meanwhile, there are some fans that think the song could be about both Bella and Selena
like this person who wrote quote, “Is it possible that @theweeknd's song Snowchild
is about both Bella AND Selena?
A lot of times song writers take from multiple experiences to put together a song.
Just a thought”
But it’s also important to note that there were some other fans who couldn’t care less
about who the song or music video are about, they were just obsessed with the anime look
of The Weeknd’s music video and are begging him to make an entire series like this.
And we would be so here for that!
The music video is awesome.
