People are turning Selena Gomez green (and yellow and red and so much more) in a wild new meme...
A hilarious range of green Selena Gomez memes are going viral and it's all thanks to an old interview.
Selena Gomez: New album release date, title, tour, collaborations and everything you need to know
Selena Gomez never fails to impress us. Ever since she first starred as one of the children in Barney & Friends in 2002, we've loved her. From Wizards of Waverly Place and 'Love You Like a Love Song' to Revival and 'Taki Taki', Selena has remained at the forefront of popular culture for over a decade. Now, Selena is at the centre of a brand new meme and it is arguably one of the the funniest and weirdest things to ever grace the internet.
Every meme has a backstory and the red, yellow and green Selena Gomez meme is actually inspired by an E! news interview from 2016. In it, Selena opens up about how she deals with the negativity of social media and haters at large. She says: "No matter what people perceive of me, I always shine through at the end of the day. So, I've had a lot of people try to tear me down... but, I'm here."
She then added: "And I've always been myself and I've been graceful and I've tried to handle myself with class. And it's only because, I know how hard I work, I'm not gonna let any of that get to me." The clip is so memorable that people are using it as the basis of a meme in which people are turning Selena green and other colours and applying it to anything with lots of haters.
