Selena Gomez on Revival, Taylor Swift, music, puns and More!

Hey guys, it's Andrew Front. I'm here with Selena. Me! There she is. She's right here. We were talking about this, but are you a little bit nervous about to embark on this extravaganza? I have never cared about a tour as much as I care about this one. It's just, it's everything that I've been working on the past two years. It's my words, it's my story. I don't know, I'm anxious. I haven't really been able to sleep much. She needs sleep. I know. She needs some sleep. Okay, take me inside. What are we going to see? Can you tell me what the opening number might be? No, I'm not going to tell you that, but I will say, I know, but I just want to sing. I just, I want, I've been working so hard on taking care of my voice because that's all I want. I danced a little bit too much on the last run and I have movement on this, but I want it to feel intimate and I want it to feel like you're coming to be a part of my world. And I want people to feel, I want them to be surprised. You know why? Why? The heart wants what it wants. Atlanta. No, you didn't. Do you know how much I get that? I didn't realize my songs were, everyone's like, you can't keep your hands to yourself. And is it good for you, Selena? I'm like, what's happening? When did I become that? I'm not hating it. Those are all the best. I feel like you need a check every time someone says that. Send her a check. I'll note that. It talks to me, you have some TV projects. I know you have something coming up where they're saying it's the Latina Empire. Yeah, so basically, I love film. I love TV. I love acting in general. That's, in a way, was my first love. And while music has been extremely dominating, and rightfully so, it's what I want, I still have to keep my, I gotta have one foot into that world. I like it. I love creating. I love projects. And I feel movies, they touch people in a different way than music does. So I want to be a part of things that are great. And we got a call and somebody sent me a link to this amazing girl named Anna and her speech that she gave, and they basically were so inspired by her that they wanted to create an entire show that was centered on what she was talking about, which I thought was incredible. So I called her, got on the phone with her, and now we are developing the show. It's cool. And it all came organically to me and my mom, who are partners in the show, and we're stoked that they included us because it's a great story. Okay. Yes. The Wizard of Oz. I'm not just saying this over the rainbow. Sorry, it's tour! Get ready! Oh, it had to be something about school. My school, it was so dramatic in kindergarten. It was like Sammy Rodriguez was not asking me out, but my cousin was getting mad, and we were, by the way, in first grade. Yeah. So there was so much drama. I'm sure it was about a boy. A blue tutu. That was awful. Blue tutu? I was performing at the House of Blues. I had a band. Were you 12? Yeah, basically. I was 14. I was 14, 15. 14, performing in a bar. Well, House of Blues was during the day. Yeah. It was all these little kids, and I was singing Magic, which was amazing. It was a cool moment, but I remember a blue tutu and thinking, now that I look back, why on earth did I wear that? Last time, you laughed really hard. What was it about? My assistant. My assistant is absolutely hysterical. She is so herself at all times. She will talk about how she smells, what she likes to eat. She will light up any room that she comes into, so that's my assistant. Last text you received? I believe it was my mom, because she's coming with my little sister to see my show during rehearsals, and it's so cool because my little sister has never seen me on stage before, ever. I don't even think she knows I'm a singer. Last time you talked to Taylor Swift? Yesterday. What did you talk about? I caught up with her about Coachella. She's asked about the tour. She's going to come out and see it. She brought you up on stage. Are you going to return the favor? I don't know. She knows that I've been busting my ass on this tour, and I want to make up about me for now, and she's super proud of me and stoked. Maybe one day, because there is not a better feeling in the world than performing with your best friend. I've known her for 10 years. It's just the best feeling. Last swear word you said? Ass, just now, with you. Just wrapping up, talk to me about when you're on that stage and you're getting all this energy from the audience, how empowering is that? Also, how empowering is it to give your energy back to those people? I believe I'm here for people. I think that I have gone up and down. People have seen my mistakes. They have seen me grow up. They've seen me live life. It's incredible to be able to look at these people, and I know they get it. And then I love being able to leave my fans inspired to know that they can do it too. I'm not untouchable. I've never wanted to be the person on stage where they look at me and they're like, I could never be that. I want them to look at me and think, I can do that. That's all I want. I think that's why I'm here. I love you like the love of my life. Stop! Thank you. It's good to see you. Oh, it's beautiful. You're going to love it.
