Selena Gomez doesn’t want to go back to her “‘It’ girl era.”
The singer reacted to throwback footage of herself getting snapped by paparazzi and posing with a fan in a TikTok comment Monday.
In the video, which was set to her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s song “Company,” Gomez stunned in a black dress and a matching coat thrown over one shoulder, wearing her hair loose and curled.
“I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny [Blanco], she was in her IT GIRL era,” the caption read.
The text written over the video also posited that the past version of Gomez, 32, “would never date Benny Blanco.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star commented, “Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol.”
Gomez’s clapback comes seven months after she confirmed her romance with Blanco, 36, and defended it from negative fans.
“He has treated me better than any human being on this planet,” she wrote in December 2023.
The actress noted in a May Time magazine interview that her partner is not “fazed” when naysayers comment “the most hurtful things.”
Gomez and the music producer are still going strong, with Blanco recently telling “Howard Stern Show” listeners that starting a family with Gomez is his “next goal.”
As for possibly proposing, the songwriter said, “I take everything a day at a time. I just know that when I look at her, I just say, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’”
Prior their relationship, Gomez dated The Weeknd in 2017 and Bieber, 30, on and off for eight years.
Just a few months after she and the “Baby” singer called it quits for good in 2018, he married Hailey Bieber — and the couple are now expecting their first baby.
Hailey, 27, assured “Call Her Daddy” listeners in September 2022 that it was “all love” between herself and Gomez.
However, the duo have continued to spark feud rumors, last making headlines for their cryptic social media behavior in February 2023.
Gomez has yet to publicly react to Hailey’s pregnancy news.
The “Wizards of Waverly Place” alum was active on social media over the weekend, slamming speculation that she has had plastic surgery.
The former Disney Channel star, who confirmed that she does “have Botox,” subsequently showed off her different “faces [and] phases” in an Instagram carousel.
Selena Gomez has made it clear that she is not interested in revisiting her “It” girl era. In a recent TikTok comment, the singer reacted to some throwback footage of herself from that time, where she appeared to be in a dark place emotionally.
Despite the glamorous appearance in the video, Gomez admitted that she was actually feeling quite depressed back then. It’s clear that she has come a long way since then and is in a much better place now.
Gomez’s current relationship with music producer Benny Blanco seems to be a source of happiness and stability for her. Despite facing criticism from fans, Gomez has defended Blanco and their relationship, emphasizing how well he treats her. Blanco himself has expressed his desire to start a family with Gomez, showing just how serious their relationship has become.
Prior to her relationship with Blanco, Gomez had high-profile romances with The Weeknd and Justin Bieber. Bieber, in particular, has moved on to marry Hailey Bieber, with the couple expecting their first child. Despite past drama, Hailey has reassured fans that there is no bad blood between her and Gomez.
Gomez has also been addressing rumors about her appearance, shutting down speculation about plastic surgery and showcasing her different “faces and phases” on social media. It’s clear that she is unbothered by the rumors and focused on living her best life.
