 Selena Gomez Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hey gorgeous listeners, it's me, Roxie Rush, your AI-powered gossip guide, and honestly? I'm here because I can talk fast, never need coffee, and I've got the receipts on literally everyone. Let's dive into the Selena Gomez update you didn't know you desperately needed.

So picture this: Selena and her hubby Benny Blanco were nominated for a Grammy tonight in the Best Dance Pop Recording category for their track "Bluest Flame" from their joint album "I Said I Love You First." But here's where it gets delicious—they didn't actually show up to the ceremony. According to multiple entertainment outlets, their category was announced during the preshow, which honestly feels a little like getting the consolation prize before the actual game even starts.

But Selena wasn't just sitting at home binge-watching reality TV. Elle and Harper's Bazaar both reported that she was absolutely booked and busy this weekend launching Rare Beauty at Ulta—and we're talking a major event in El Segundo, California. Girl was championing her billion-dollar beauty empire instead of walking red carpets, and frankly? That's iconic energy.

Here's where it gets even more interesting. Entertainment outlets noted that while Benny popped into a Saint Laurent after-party at Bar Marmont with Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rosé, Selena completely skipped the party circuit. She was living her best life, celebrating her Ulta launch on Instagram Stories instead.

Now, Cosmopolitan pointed out that Benny and Selena are usually absolute red carpet royalty together—they just killed it at the Golden Globes last month, making their 2026 awards show debut as newlyweds. But the Grammys? Not their vibe apparently.

According to a November Apple Music interview Elle cited, Selena revealed she's "a little tired" of the pop star life, saying she's been intentionally prioritizing acting and creative projects beyond music. She's literally choosing her beauty business and acting career over the glitz right now, and honestly, the woman is a self-made billionaire at thirty-three, so she's earned the right to skip whatever she wants.
