Selena Gomez keeps her Only Murders in the Building co-stars on their toes with a dose of pop culture, and her latest move involved introducing them to Cardi B’s infamous hit, WAP. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Martin Short, one of her veteran co-stars, spilled the beans on how the pop star “helps” them out, especially before diving into serious scenes.
According to Short, the cast was gearing up for a scene when Gomez casually asked if they were familiar with Cardi B’s WAP. The singer, with a mischievous grin, was keen to gauge their reactions to the song. “Steve was saying, ‘Is that from My Fair Lady?'” Martin jokingly recalled, capturing the humorous juxtaposition of Gomez’s modern musical tastes with her co-stars’ classic sensibilities.
Beyond her role on screen, Selena Gomez isn’t just about shaking up her co-stars’ playlists. With over 426 million Instagram followers, she navigates fame with a blend of gratitude and resilience. Reflecting on her massive following, she noted, “It’s been great. I do what I can with what I have.” Her focus remains on making her family proud and finding contentment in her current phase of life.
In interviews, Gomez has also shared candid thoughts about touring, describing it as a source of both joy and emotional drain. “Nothing makes me happier than 90 minutes of being with my fans and celebrating together,” she confessed to TIME. However, the realities of tour life—surrounded by a paid entourage and facing criticism from some fans—can also weigh heavily on her. Through it all, her partner Benny Blanco provides steadfast support, unfazed by the occasional negativity that comes with Gomez’s public life.
As Gomez continues to balance her thriving career with personal fulfillment, her ability to surprise and connect—whether through music recommendations or heartfelt interviews—remains a testament to her enduring influence in both entertainment and beyond.
