Selena’s interview with Vanity Fair

Selena talks about her album, Instagram and Taylor Swift in interview with Vanity Fair.

@VanityFair: @SelenaGomez and @DerekBlasberg stop traffic with their backseat selfies http://vntyfr.com/GMiEcC7

“I had just one thought after spending a car ride in bumper-to-bumper traffic with the pop sensation Selena Gomez: “When I grow up, I want to be just like her.” Selena is one of those rare creatures that embody both maturity and adolescence. She can do self-aware industry chat, but also has a killer selfie face. I had met her a few times at parties and fashion things, and what always struck me the most was how she spoke. She means what she says in a voice that is much lower than you’d expect from a girl who started her career on a show with a purple dinosaur and then cemented her status in American tween culture as a Disney TV star.

But whereas we’ve seen other young girls get chewed up and spit out of that child-star system, Selena graduated with honors. She became UNICEF’s youngest-ever ambassador and a pop-music hit machine. (Her second solo album reached No. 1 and her third single off the album launched this week.) Perhaps most unexpected of all was the fashion industry’s warm embrace: she’s gone from Disney princess to style icon. Now, I see Selena all the time on the arm of Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s creative director, whose arms are never lacking for a fashion icon. (Often next to Selena are the likes of Michelle Williams and Jennifer Connelly.) All of these worlds collided on a recent night in Los Angeles when I was Selena’s date to the UNICEF Ball, hosted by Louis Vuitton and benefiting an international children’s charity. In the car we chatted about a lot of things: her role in The Big Short, her album Revival and how revelatory it was to write it. But I didn’t let her off without at least a million selfies first.”
