Three years after defending Taylor in the Kanye West drama, Selena made a move that surprised fans. In a seemingly contradictory turn of events, she initially took to Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself sporting a piece from Kim’s popular shapewear line, Skims. The accompanying caption, “Legit So freaking comfortable @skims,” seemed to be a straightforward endorsement. However, the post was short-lived, as Selena deleted it just hours later and replaced it with a selfie featuring her longtime friend, Taylor Swift. The caption for the new photo effusively declared her unwavering loyalty: “My ride or die I would die for this one. Thank you for forever being by my side. You have taught me so much, walked through all of this with me, STAYED and you remind me to be a better, human being. I’m on your side for life.” This sudden shift in online content left fans wondering what prompted Gomez’s change of heart, with some speculating it was a not-so-subtle jab at the ongoing drama.
