Selena Gomez is one of the most interesting entertainers in the world. She turned 30 this year, and instead of having a big, traditional birthday party, she threw a wedding-themed party for her friends.
Selena said, ‘she just wanted a fun party with her friends and family and didn’t want to worry about anything else.’
Partygoers include Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, and her sister Grace (but no sign of Taylor Swift, more on that later). The party was held at a private residence in Los Angeles and had all the trappings of a typical wedding reception, including a dance floor, buffet, and photo booth.

Selena’s party comes just a few weeks after she released her latest track, Revelación, a Spanish-language EP. The last album, Rare, released in 2020, is very personal and deals with her anxiety and depression. Selena has been very open about her battle with mental illness, and the album is a raw and honest look at her struggle.
The lead single from the album, “Lose You to Love Me,” is a heartbreaking ballad about losing yourself in a relationship. The song was inspired by Selena’s on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber. While the two have not been together for some time, it’s clear that Selena is still struggling with the aftermath of their breakup.
Gomez +Bieber fans did not take the breakup well and used social media to harass Hailey Bieber (now married to Justin Bieber). This led to Selena appealing for calm, taking a break from social media, and canceling her tour.
In addition to working on her new album (rumored to be released in 2023), Selena has been busy filming her cooking show, Selena + Chef. The show is a lighthearted and fun look at Selena’s life, with each episode featuring a different chef teaching Selena how to cook a meal.

Selena is also working on a documentary about her battle with bipolar disorder. The film Selena: My Mind and Me premiered earlier this month. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Selena opens up about her struggles with mental illness and what it’s like to have bipolar disorder.
It’s been a busy year for Selena, but she seems to be doing well. She looks happy and healthy, and we wish her the best. All we want to know now is, where is Taylor? Taylor was indeed at the party, but as chief host and BFF, she was busy organizing the event and taking pictures of the guests.
Now that’s how real celebrities do things – wannabe’s take note.
