Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco heat up the interview on 'Hot Ones'
Selena Gomez Transforms Benny Blanco into a Swiftie Fan
Who knew hot sauce could lead to a love confession? That's exactly what happened on the latest episode of the hit YouTube show, "Hot Ones," where Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco opened up about their love life, musical taste, and being drenched in spicy sauces.
The couple, who are promoting their latest collaboration, "I Said I Love You First," graced our screens as they chowed down on wings slathered in increasingly spicy sauces. Gomez, a regular on "Hot Ones," had previously appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in 2019. This time around, they got candid about their shared musical preferences and how their tastes intersect.
Gomez admitted to playing "everything" for Blanco, even if it annoys him, but when she's alone, she gets a bit emo with her music choices. Blanco, on the other hand, confessed that his love had transformed him into a Taylor Swift fan, affectionately known as a "Swiftie." Although he was casually aware of Swift's music before dating Gomez, he didn't fully appreciate her tunes until now. As he put it, "I’ll say, 'Play that song. How does it go again?' We're in the car and I’m like singing Taylor Swift songs from like 10 years ago...I feel free." Gomez, ever the supportive partner, responded, "They're timeless, what can I say?"
As the hot sauces took effect, the couple's conversation became a series of hilarious exchanges, with Gomez joking about the absurdity of the situation, and Blanco struggling to ask questions due to his diminished motor skills. However, he did offer a pro tip: avoid letting the hot sauce touch your lips while eating.
In the end, they bravely tackled the "Wings of Death" gauntlet of the "Hot Ones" challenge, with Blanco even finding the courage to declare his affection for Gomez. When asked if couples should play the game together, Blanco admitted that he wouldn't have survived without Gomez's support. Gomez had a bit of fun with his response: "Honey, you did crumble."
In other news, Gomez shared some Fall-eyed traits she picked up from her elder costars on the popular series "Only Murders in the Building." Apparently, she's now using some "old soulish" lingo, much to her own bewilderment. "Sometimes I'll say 'Yes, no and I remember whilst I was...' It's like 'What am I talking about?' That's Steve and Marty...they're the best."
Looks like the heat isn't just coming from the wings anymore! Tune in to find out more about Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and their spicy adventures on "Hot Ones."
