10+ Random Facts About Selena Gomez Fans Didn't Know

Selena's mother, Amanda Teefey, split from Selena's dad, Ricardo Joel Gomez, when Selena was just five.

At first, it was frustrating for Selena to be raised by a single mother.

Eventually, though, she adopted gratitude:

“I’m terrified of what I would have become if I’d stayed there.”

In the way, way early days of her career, Selena landed a gig on Barney & Friends in 2002.

This was even how she met Demi Lovato, as the pair bonded while waiting in line for the audition.

Once upon a time, these two were the best of friends.

They were both Disney stars who even worked on a movie together. They also made random YouTube videos together in their free time, like this one. But that's all changed since then.

"When you grow up with somebody, you're always going to have love for them. But I'm not friends with her, so [the Instagram post] felt… ," she said, stopping herself.

Months later, the bad blood continued... Demi's Finsta account where she reportedly bashed Selena, came to light.

This led to a #DemiIsOverParty trending on Twitter.

The singer was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in 2013.

Since then, she's had an ongoing health battle with the condition. She even had to have a kidney transplant in 2017.

"The lupus was a huge thing that happened to me, then the kidney thing happened, and that was the scariest because, yeah, you could actually die," Selena told WSJ.

While most friends have matching bracelets, these two have matching scars.

“Once Disney was over, I was like, ‘Oh, [expletive],’ ” Gomez told W magazine.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to be. I had to learn to be myself.”

She thought that the video was so hot and even channeled this type of energy during her first solo tour.

This included everything from the costumes she wore to the overall performance.

The singer's weight has fluctuated over the years as one of the side effects of taking her lupus medication.

Sadly, this has led to some nasty comments, which Selena said has "really messed her up."

"I have Lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues. For me that's when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff."

While Miley was set to play Mavis, the teenage vampire daughter of Adam Sandler's Dracula, that all changed when she bought her ex, Liam Hemsworth, a penis cake and licked it...

Move over, Voldermort — there's a new "He Who Must Not Be Named!"

According to Wetpaint, this is one of Selena's backstage demands. She made the request after their 2014 breakup.

Selena once left a video interview after the interviewer dared to ask her a question about Justin.

When this happened, the singer left the video call SO QUICK.

When Selena's makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, posted this photo, fans spotted a dented doorframe to the left.

Although it looks like the image was edited to make her hair look fuller, it's since been taken down.

What can't she do??

During an interview with I Heart Radio, she rapped an A$AP Rocky song and then spat her gum in the air and caught it in her mouth.

Um, goals.

She even shared this strange habit with James Corden during a Late Late Show episode of Carpool Karaoke.

“It’s killing everything inside—all of the bad things," she said before they took the shot.

She's no stranger to getting inked. Some of her most prominent ones include the words "Rare," on her neck and the matching tatt she has with Julia Michaels.

She told GQ that the “love yourself first” tatt is the one that means the most.
