Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Subtly Hint at Justin and Hailey Bieber Copying Their Disneyland Trip

Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, have opened up about their relationship, insecurities, and feelings of alienation, as they discuss the controversy that recently erupted when fans accused Selena's ex, Justin Bieber, and his wife, Hailey Bieber, of copying their Disneyland trip. The accusations, which have taken the social media world by storm, suggest that Justin and Hailey were recreating the exact same experience that Selena and Benny had shared in February. In a candid behind-the-scenes video, the couple explored their personal feelings about fame, self-doubt, and how they deal with being under constant public scrutiny.

In the video, released as part of the promotion for their upcoming music video for the track “Younger And Hotter Than Me,” Selena and Benny gave an honest look at their lives. The video, which features intimate moments between the two, dives deep into the meaning behind the song and explores the vulnerabilities of both Selena and Benny.

Selena, 32, explained how the song speaks to her personal experiences, revealing that, despite her immense fame, she still struggles with feeling alienated and socially awkward.

"The song can have many different meanings, and I think that is how I feel," Selena shared with the camera. "It reflects everything that I have felt before, if that makes sense. I'm so bad at parties. I am socially awkward. I sit in the corner and talk to the one person that's usually alone. And, um, I don't think I have always fit in. But I don't mean that in a sad 'oh my God, poor me' way. I mean it in, like, I don't know."

Selena's openness about her struggles with social anxiety resonated with many fans, who see her as someone who is relatable despite being in the limelight. The track "Younger And Hotter Than Me," which features both Selena and Benny's personal thoughts, has been highly anticipated by fans who admire the couple’s chemistry both on and off screen.

As they both delve into their pasts, the song also touches on themes of self-doubt, a sentiment that has been shared by both Selena and Benny.

Later in the clip, Benny, 37, who is known for his work as a record producer, opened up about his own insecurities. His words were a reminder that no one is immune to feeling unsure about themselves, regardless of their success or how confident they may appear.

“We all want to believe that 'oh my god, we aren't insecure about anything. We're not this, we're not that,'” Benny said. “But no matter who we are, at our most secure moments, you might walk by the mirror and be like 'ugh I hate the way I look.' Or you might, you know, hear yourself recorded on a voicemail and be like 'oh my God, that's my voice!'"

The vulnerability in Benny’s statement was clear, and it demonstrated just how relatable the couple's journey has been. "We always put so much pressure on each other. We are always so hard on ourselves," he continued. "And I think that this expresses that, and that to me it just comes so full circle because you are a person that obviously are not afraid to hide it, you feel all of those things."

Selena nodded earnestly, acknowledging Benny’s sentiments. "Oh yeah," she responded, offering a brief but meaningful affirmation. The honesty and openness that both of them shared in the video are part of what has made their partnership so appealing to their fans, many of whom have followed their journey for years.

While Selena and Benny were being transparent about their own insecurities, their Disneyland trip has become the center of attention. Last month, in February, the couple was spotted at Disneyland, where they were seen enjoying the theme park and having fun on various rides, including the popular Cars ride.

They were dressed in matching outfits, with Selena wearing a pair of black Minnie Mouse ears adorned with a red and white polka dot bow. This detail would later play a significant role in sparking the online controversy.

A TikTok video posted by a fan created a montage comparing the couple's Disneyland trip to that of Justin and Hailey Bieber, which led to the accusations of the Biebers "copying" Selena and Benny. The TikTok user highlighted the striking similarities in the couples’ outfits, and even pointed out that Justin and Hailey had ridden the same attractions as Selena and Benny, including the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride.

In the video, Selena’s black Minnie Mouse ears with the red and white polka dot bow were pointed out as a key detail, noting that Hailey had also worn the same pair during her recent trip to Disneyland with Justin.

As the video gained traction, fans flooded the comments section with their reactions. One commenter pointed out, "The same ears got me trippin like whattt, there’s so many to choose from," while another wrote, "Not the exact same freaking ride too," with crying face emojis. Yet another added, "The fact Hailey is wearing the same ears when there’s soooooo many different kinds."

The playful back-and-forth between fans quickly turned into a heated debate about whether Justin and Hailey had intentionally tried to replicate Selena and Benny’s trip.

While the incident became a viral talking point, Selena and Benny took to social media to promote their work and express their feelings about the whole situation. Selena shared a photo from the music video set and wrote a heartfelt message to her 421 million Instagram followers, explaining how the creation of their song “I Said I Love You First” had allowed them to explore many different sides of their personalities and relationship.

She emphasized how the song "Younger and Hotter Than Me" reflected both the fun and carefree sides of their relationship, but also the more introspective, vulnerable moments.

"Through the creation of I Said I Love You First, Benny and I got to explore so many sides of ourselves as individual people and as a couple," Selena shared in her caption. "I love the Sunset Blvd side, which is fun, carefree and boldly in love, and I equally love the softer, quieter, more introspective parts of us. You can hear that side in Younger and Hotter Than Me."

Selena also revealed that the music video would be released soon and encouraged her followers to watch the behind-the-scenes footage. "We wanted to give you a sneak peek of Younger and Hotter Than Me before tonight, so the behind the scenes of the music video is out now on YouTube," she wrote. "We can’t wait for you to hear this album, thank you for being here."

As Selena’s ex, Justin, and Hailey were accused of copying their Disneyland experience, it seems that the world of social media has once again become a battleground for fans to debate the actions of celebrities. For Selena and Benny, however, the focus remains on their music and the authenticity of their relationship. Despite the criticism and speculation that often surrounds them, they remain unapologetically themselves, embracing the highs and lows of being in the public eye.
