The Weeknd's Lyrics Hint That He's Been Crushing on Selena Gomez for a While

Pics of Selena Gomez and The Weeknd kissing were literally just released yesterday, but timing never stops fans from speculating about how certain celebrity couples (or friends?) came to be. According to Teen Vogue, the answer to everyone’s questions could be found in the lyrics of The Weeknd’s hot song “Party Monster.”

The catchy track, which now has a music video to accompany it, includes the suspicious lyric “Like Selena, ass shaped like Selena.” Given the fact that the song was released in Nov. 2016, this line was probably written long before the pair's flirty connection was made, but some fans think otherwise. Maybe The Weeknd was guilty of some long-distance crushing? 

However, others are fighting back about these guesses, insisting that the lyric is meant to be about Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a beloved Latina artist who passed away in 1995 and was often known by just her first name. Do you think The Weeknd is a fan?

We'll have to see if The Weeknd will settle this debate once and for all and spill the truth. But if he and Selena really are starting a relationship, the duo definitely deserves a little less internet speculation.
