Behind Selena Gomez’s Unfollow of Dua Lipa on Instagram

Share:

Back in June, social media buzzed with news about Selena Gomez causing a stir when she unfollowed Dua Lipa on Instagram. As often happens when celebrities unfollow each other, rumors of a feud and a potential argument quickly spread. It took three months, but the singer of «Single Soon» has finally addressed the issue, putting an end to the gossip and explaining what actually happened. 

Selena told Fast Company that there was no fight at all; it was simply ‘an accident.’ She admitted that she hadn’t even realized she had unfollowed the renowned «Dance The Night» singer. In her words, “I was just cleaning up some of my Instagram. Then somebody called me and was like, ‘What happened with Dua?!’”

Despite the initial controversy, both singers have remained friends and have made a point of demonstrating their friendship on social media. Dua Lipa, famous for «New Rules,» even sent Selena a gift from her new Versace collection amid all the rumors. In response, Selena posted a story on her Instagram profile, expressing her gratitude for the package.

A few days later, she surprised everyone by sharing a photo of herself wearing the gifted outfits. In her post, she wrote, ‘Thank you, queen,’ and tagged Dua’s official account. Whether it was an accident or not, one thing is evident: the two are on good terms now, and Selena Gomez has re-followed Dua Lipa on Instagram. 

Selena’s Current Life 

Selena has been fully engaged in her role as an entrepreneur, thanks to the success of her makeup brand, Rare Beauty. Just this Wednesday, the singer attended the inaugural gala of the Rare Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health, held in Los Angeles. 

The singer and actress has faced various health challenges, both mental and physical, in recent years, which is why she decided to take a temporary break from the media spotlight. In fact, she hasn’t gone on a concert tour since her ‘Revival Tour’ in 2016. However, there’s good news for Selena’s fans, because she will soon announce the release date of her next studio album. This album, which will likely be accompanied by a concert tour, will be her seventh studio release and will follow Rare, an album that came out in 2020 but did not have a corresponding tour.
