Selena Gomez Hilariously Shuts Down Collab Rumors with Ariana Grande: “I Like Keeping Friends… Friends”

Buy Me A Coffee

Selena Gomez, queen of chill vibes and side-splitting honesty, just dropped a truth bomb about working with fellow pop powerhouse Ariana Grande—and it’s as spicy as the guac on your Chipotle burrito.

The 32-year-old Emilia Pérez star (yes, she acts, sings, AND steals our hearts) rolled up to the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Awards on Friday, January 3, dressed to impress and ready to dodge collab rumors faster than a cat avoiding a bath. Enter Variety’s Marc Malkin, who, like the rest of us, couldn’t resist asking the big question: Could a Selena-Ariana duet or acting team-up be on the horizon?

“Have you pitched Ari to be on Only Murders in the Building?” Marc asked, referring to Selena’s wildly popular Hulu show where she solves crimes and slays outfits simultaneously.

Selena, flashing that mischievous grin we all adore, shot back, “No,” with a laugh so breezy it could’ve powered a wind farm. Boom. End of that rumor.

But Marc wasn’t done yet—because of course he wasn’t. “Okay, but what about making music with Ari?” he pressed, as if the world wasn’t already emotionally fragile at the thought of their voices blending into pure sonic gold.

Selena, clearly unbothered and thriving, hit us with the real talk: “Oh no, here’s the thing: I don’t—I like just keeping friends friends.” Translation? “Y’all, I’m not about to mix business with brunch dates.”

And honestly, can we blame her? Selena’s got a point. Friendships are sacred, and nothing kills the vibe faster than arguing over who gets the bridge in a duet. So while the dream of a Selena-Ariana collab might be on ice for now, we’ll take comfort in knowing their friendship is still hotter than a summer day in Palm Springs.

Stay tuned. Selena may not be teaming up with Ari anytime soon, but she’ll probably drop something equally iconic—because that’s just what she does.
