00:00 "Everything is not what it seems between Selena Gomez and Dua Lipa."
00:05 The Wizards of Waverly Place alum is shutting down rumors that there's bad blood between
00:08 her and the Grammy winner.
00:10 It all started after fans noticed Selena had unfollowed Dua on Instagram earlier this summer.
00:16 But in a new interview with the Fast Company, she admitted that the move was "totally
00:20 unintentional."
00:21 "It was an accident," she told the outlet, adding, "I was just cleaning up some of my
00:26 Instagram.
00:27 And then somebody called me and was like, 'What happened with Dua?'"
00:30 Since the social media slip-up, the Only Murders in the Building star has shown the levitating
00:34 songstress some love, wearing an outfit from her collab with Versace this summer.
00:40 That isn't the only feud Selena had to clear up in recent months.
00:44 She released her new song, "Single Soon," on the same day Miley Cyrus dropped "Used
00:48 to be Young."
00:49 That coincidence caused some fans to speculate that the two former Disney Channel stars were
00:53 feuding, but they quickly shut those rumors down by showing each other some love on social
00:59 media.
01:00 "Miley Cyrus and I both have a single soon and we are releasing on the same day.
01:04 We have been friends since we used to be young.
01:06 Excited for August 25th," Selena wrote on her Instagram story at the time.
01:11 Miley also promoted both of their songs on social media, writing, "Selena Gomez and
01:14 I are both dropping her single soon.
01:16 I say we used to be young."
01:19 While promoting the new track, the Hannah Montana actress released a series on TikTok
01:24 inspired by her new song, where she looked back at her life from 1992 until 2023, breaking
01:30 down everything from her time on the Disney Channel to her relationship with ex-husband
01:34 Liam Hemsworth.
01:35 "I just want to slow down.
01:37 I have to slow down because this is like actually serious.
01:40 So Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision had been made that me and Liam's
01:46 commitment to being married just really came from, of course, a place of love first, because
01:51 we've been together for 10 years, but also from a place of trauma and just trying to
01:56 rebuild as quickly as we could.
01:58 The day of the show was the day that I had decided that it was no longer going to work
02:03 in my life to be in that relationship.
02:06 So that was another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first.
02:11 And I guess that's why it's now so important to me for that to not be the case, that the
02:15 human comes first."
02:17 "I'm not going to be the same person I was 10 years ago.
02:24 I'm not going to be the same person I am now."
