Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco chose to ignore the awards circuit drama and internet chatter over her recent emotional video, opting instead for a fun-filled getaway to Disneyland—the self-proclaimed Happiest Place on Earth.
A Disney Date Over the Critics Choice Awards
The Emilia Perez star and her music producer fiancé spent their Friday at Disneyland, choosing to skip the Critics Choice Awards, where Selena’s movie had received nominations, including Best Song. Despite being in contention, she prioritized quality time with Benny over attending the star-studded event.
Selena’s Viral Moment & Recent Controversy
The Disney Channel alum has been the center of online debate after a video of her crying over ICE raids under President Trump’s administration surfaced on social media. The emotional clip divided public opinion, with some applauding her vulnerability and others criticizing her reaction.
Adding to the buzz, Selena’s latest musical project, Emilia Perez, has been generating controversy, making this Disneyland trip a much-needed escape from the spotlight.
Happier Vibes with Benny Blanco
The couple seemed to be in good spirits, enjoying their day among Disney fans. One particular highlight? Benny Blanco’s bubble wand, which seemed to be a source of amusement and lighthearted fun.
A Silver Lining to Skipping the Awards
Selena’s decision to skip the Critics Choice Awards may have been a wise one—she ultimately lost in the Best Song category. However, her Disneyland trip ensured she ended the night with smiles and laughter, proving sometimes, a magical escape is more rewarding than a trophy.
