For two years in a row, Taylor Swift was the esteemed guest performer of Victoria’s Secret’s annual lingerie show. The leggy 1989 singer performed hits like “Style” and “Trouble” while wearing lingerie as her winged model besties strutted their stuff on the glittering runway. But this year, with BFF Karlie Kloss studying at New York University, Swift’s handing over the honor to another member of her girl squad: Selena Gomez.
The Revival artist will be the musical guest, in addition to Rihanna and The Weeknd, at the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing on CBS December 8. Can’t you see it now? The 23-year-old in a bra top and booty shorts singing “Good for You” and then all of a sudden A$AP Rocky emerges from a cloud of dry ice to surprise the crowd and join in? Or, as Gomez belts out “Same Old Love,” she’ll sashay down the runway as Angels like Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, and Candice Swanepoel, walk on by. “Bad Blood” co-stars, Lily Aldridge and Martha Hunt, will blow her a cute air kiss and Gomez will be well on her way to leading her own squad.
It’s an interesting choice for Gomez, who will embark on her “Revival Tour” in 2016. The actress, who starred in Spring Breakers, recently opened up about her battle with body shaming and how the torment eventually drove her into therapy. “I was in a bikini and got publicly ripped for being overweight,” Gomez told Billboard. “That was the first time I’d experienced body shaming like that. I believed some of the words they were saying. When somebody else has your self-esteem in their hands …”
As Gomez continues to take back control and make her voice heard, she’s building an even bigger fan base. The Victoria’s Secret show is a sweet reward.
