Selena Gomez Just Shared a Bunch of Rare Personal Videos From Her 2019
Selena Gomez really did have quite the 2019. After taking some time out of the spotlight to take care of her mental and physical well-being, she burst back onto the public stage with new music, a live performance, and a great set of bangs. She also appeared to have a lot of fun with her friends and family.
On Wednesday, January 1, Gomez took a little stroll down memory lane and shared some of her favorite moments of the year on her Instagram Stories. Since taking a social media hiatus last year, she’s been a little quiet on the platform, but these photos and video clips make it clear she’s been documenting some good times that happened in 2019. Her story included shots of Gomez playing with her BFF Taylor Swift’s cat; a group photo of Gomez and her friends wearing cowgirl hats at a Kacey Musgraves concert; footage of her recording her song “Look At Her Now;” and video from a trip to Kenya she took that she writes “changed” her life. She also included a glimpse at a cake she was given to celebrate her very first number-one Billboard hit, “Lose You To Love Me.”
Some fans also noted that she stealthily revealed what she was doing on September 30, the day her ex Justin Bieber married his now-wife Hailey Baldwin. Gomez uploaded some photos marked with the date that indicate she was hanging out with her girlfriends and lounging over tons of food, clearly not stressing too much. A total mood, TBH.
ELLE writer Alyssa Bailey uploaded all the videos to Twitter for easier viewing.
All of this is proof that even though she didn’t post as actively, Selena Gomez had a pretty spectacular year—and there are already hints that 2020 is going to be even bigger for her. She announced that her long-anticipated third album, which has been nearly four years in the making, will drop on January 10. We’re guessing it’ll offer even more intimate clues about what her life has looked like recently.
