Selena Gomez built her successful music and entertainment career hinged on her multi-faceted talent. While she is not oblivious to the level of fame she has amassed, the star often tries to stay out of the spotlight by taking social media breaks from time to time. However, this has done little to keep controversies at bay.
From plastic surgery rumors to being entwined in endless social media wars between the Selenators and Justin Bieber’s reps and fans, Selena Gomez has dealt with more than a handful of drama. Back in 2020, she made headlines after joining Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa on Live With Kelly and Ryan, in what fans considered a rather awkward TV appearance. Gomez had been promoting her then-new album, ‘Rare’, but Ripa looked like she struggled to get the singer’s attention. The music star ended up riling fans, as they wondered what was wrong with her. Here’s a look into the incident.
What Happened During Selena Gomez’s Interview On Live With Kelly And Ryan?
Following the release of her third studio album, Rare, Selena Gomez joined Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa on Live to promote her body of work. The TV star appeared at the New York studio looking radiant in a figure-hugging white dress with a deep vee in the chest area. During the session, Gomez talked about lying low while in public, as the TV anchors got her to discuss when she tried going incognito in Paris. According to Elle, Gomez stated:
“You know, the thing for me is that I don’t draw a lot of attention to myself, so most of the time, it’s more like people are like ‘I think that’s her?’ And then they kind of ignore it. So I like that I’m able to keep low profile vibes, but I did try to go incognito [in Paris], and yeah, it didn’t work…”
Gomez also discussed her headlining accident during her New Year holiday in Hawaii. At the time, news got out that Selena Gomez had been stung by a jellyfish. The pop star clarified that although she was stung at the beach, it was not by a jellyfish. The singer went on to talk about why she let the jellyfish narrative sail. Gomez explained:
I’m so embarrassed because it was a bee. No, I was just walking on the beach, and there was a bee, and then I got stung by a bee. And then everybody said it was a jellyfish, and I was like, ‘Well, that sounds cooler if I got stung by a jellyfish as opposed to a bee. I don’t know.”

Per Yahoo, one person stated:
“She seemed so annoyed to even be there. It was almost awkward to watch.”
More fans weighed in on the interaction between the TV star and Kelly Ripa, as they agreed that the host was trying hard to keep the conversation going. Selena Gomez’s presence on Live With Kelly And Ryan was part of her press tour for the album.

What Did Other Fans Think Of Selena Gomez’s Live With Kelly And Ryan Interview?
Many assumed that she displayed a lack of interest in the daytime show. However, some of Selena Gomez’s fans thought it was unfair for her to be branded as such, as they actively defended her. Someone noted that they did not feel the same way about the singer while noting that she had already mentioned a lack of adequate sleep due to the promotions for the album. Per Yahoo, the fan wrote:
“She said she was operating on just a couple hours of sleep & she seemed lowkey, but I didn’t get ‘annoyed’ at all.”
True to the fan’s words, Gomez alluded to being stressed out in a clip posted by her makeup artist. According to the publication, the video showed her lying inside what appeared to be her tour bus, rocking a chic look. Gomez laid on her side as she sleepily talked about having to get up so early for the sake of promotion. The star added for good measure that because she wanted her album to “do good,” she had to endure “three hours of sleep!”
What It’s Really Like To Work For Selena Gomez

She looked stunning as she slicked her black tresses into a low bun and rocked pointy crocodile skin boots. Concerning making the album, Selena Gomez worked with writers Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter.
Prior to appearing on the ABC-produced show, the songstress revealed to Zane Lowe that making her Rare album helped her find a group of people who inspire and challenge her. The star, who is no stranger to big hits, noted that in terms of making music, she believes she keeps getting better and evolving as an artist. Rare was released on January 10, 2020, and it was accompanied by the release of the music video for the title track.
