Selena Gomez was in New York City at Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n' Sweet tour per a video posted on her Instagram on September 30, 2024. Reportedly, the video was shot from a suite at Madison Square Garden, where she was seen dancing to Carpenter's track Juno.
Gomez tagged Benny Blanco in the post, who later commented, "Can't keep my hands to myself." However, fans couldn’t seem to hold their excitement after the video went viral. An Instagram user commented under the same video shared on a different account:
“Whoever was next to her just experienced a real life music video lol.”
Social media users were impressed by her confidence, stating that negative comments would not be tolerated.
“I love her confidence so much. thanks Benny.”
“Baby she just ate that hair swing like she was Tanay Pendavis.”
“No Selena hate will be tolerated.”
“Me coming home after brunch with the gals.”
However, many wrote about the kidney transplant that Selena Gomez had, while a few online users criticized her.
“Every time I see her, all I could think about is how her close friend gave up her kidney so that Selena could live, only for Selena to turn around and start drinking again after she had the kidney transplant. SMH that’s like the ultimate slap in the face.”
“She better not be drinking with homegirls kidney.”
“Drinking on a borrowed kidney is literally Diabolic.”
Sabrina Carpenter launched her Short 'n' Sweet tour in Columbus, Ohio on September 23, 2024. The tour would span over 29 cities across North America, with stops at Madison Square Garden and Crypto.com Arena and in cities like Boston, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Montreal, and more.
Amaarae, Griff, and Declan McKenna are reported to join her on certain dates.
Sabrina Carpenter once said her goal was not to become the next Selena Gomez on Disney
During an interview with Nylon in 2017, Sabrina Carpenter was asked whether she wanted to become the next Disney star like Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, or Britney Spears. Carpenter expressed that her goal was to establish herself as Sabrina.
Though she understood the comparisons to stars like Selena Gomez due to a similar career path, she did not see it negatively. Sabrina Carpenter viewed these comparisons as a compliment, noting that Christina Aguilera, one of her biggest inspirations, also started on The Mickey Mouse Club.
She emphasized that an artist’s beginnings didn’t necessarily reflect their talent or future success. Carpenter shared how much she enjoyed discovering her own musical identity and writing style, feeling fortunate for the support she had received.
Being compared to such notable figures helped her reach a wider audience, which she found exciting.
Selena Gomez recently revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she wouldn’t be able to become a parent, owing to health reasons. She said:
“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
She said she was considering either adoption or surrogacy, which she saw as meaningful alternatives, though she hasn’t made a final decision. While her path to motherhood may differ from what she initially envisioned, she was excited about the prospect of becoming a mother and felt that, in the end, her child would be her own.
