I absolutely love this! Not only because Selena is wearing Selena, but because I’m the biggest fan of Selena Quintanilla and I secretly want that shirt!

Walking around the streets of L.A., Selena Gomez was photographed rocking a Selena t-shirt with leggings and denim jacket and get this, Selena G was actually named after the Tejano music star.  Selena says, “My dad and mom were huge fans.  My name was going to be Priscilla, but my cousin actually took the name when she was born six months before me. They actually loved [Selena’s] music, so they just named me after her.”

Now if you don’t know Selena’s story, she was tragically killed in 1995 by the president of her fan club.  In 2016 during an interview with Teen Vogue, Selena explains, “I grew up and I went to her grave.  I got to go to her house. It was really crazy. And then when I started working, I remember I got to meet her family and I just got super emotional ’cause it’s so crazy to see how far everything … I don’t know where she’d be right now. It’s nuts.”  Yes, both Selena’s were both born and raised in Texas.
