Selena Gomez Reveals Taylor Swift’s ‘Dorothea’ Is About Her — Take Another Look at the Lyrics
Selena Gomez confirmed that Taylor swift’s song “Dorothea” is about her. On Tuesday, March 3, during an episode of Friends Keep Secrets hosted by Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky, along with his wife Kristin Batalucco, the Rare Beauty founder talked about her longtime friendship with Swift and revealed that the track, featured on Swift’s 2020 album, is about her.
“Well, ‘dorothea’ is about me, one of her songs. And I feel like a lot of moments and huge moments that were self-defining from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between, we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18, and we didn’t really know what was going on. And so we’ve never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I’m so impressed how it’s eloquently put.”

Initially, when Evermore was released in 2020, fans quickly speculated that “Dorothea” was inspired by Gomez. One fan broke down the theory in a detailed Twitter thread, pointing out several connections between the song and Gomez’s life, noting that Gomez favorite childhood movie is The Wizard of Oz, whose main character is Dorothy, possibly inspiring the name “Dorothea.” The fan also referenced lyrics about “sellin’ makeup and magazines,” linking them to Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand and public image, as well as the line about “pageant schemes,” which nodded to her early years in child pageants.

Gomez and Taylor Swift have known each other since 2008, when they were both dating a member of the Jonas Brothers, which led to a close friendship. Reflecting on that journey during the podcast, Gomez said, “It’s absolutely unbelievable to come from 17 years of friendship, from multiple heartbreaks and love stories and fun stories in life, we both ended up fortunately being engaged around the same time.”

She also revealed that “Dorothea” isn’t the only song Swift has inspired by their friendship. According to Gomez, Swift wrote another track inspired by their friendship titled “Family,” though it was never released.
Rihanna was seen shopping in Paris on April 18, stepping into a baby store at Bambino. This comes after she responded to circulating pregnancy speculation.
The Fenty Beauty founder arrived in a brown button-down coat left open over a matching inner top with a high, close-fitting neckline. The coat had a structured collar and leather panels across the shoulders and pocket flaps in darker brown hues.

She wore blue mom jeans and Tom Ford’s sandals. Her accessories included gold rings and a pair of brown furry earrings. Her hair was styled in a centre-parted updo.
This appearance comes after an online rumor about whether the singer is expecting a fourth child. It began after Krissy Clemons (everybodyhatekrissy) posted a video on Instagram with the caption, “Is Rihanna Pregnant?” when she came across an old post of Rihanna with a baby bump on Facebook. She responded directly under the post, which read, “Is the baby in the womb with us?” dismissing the claim.

The singer has previously engaged in public comments about another child. Earlier in January, she responded to a post by Montana Rose Brown about 2026 plans, and wrote “Deciding to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.” Rihanna reacted in the comment section and said “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”

Rihanna has three children with her partner A$AP Rocky. She has repeatedly faced pregnancy speculation.
Natalie Portman is expecting her third child. The news was confirmed during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she spoke briefly about the pregnancy and reflected on her personal experience of motherhood and fertility.
During the conversation, Portman addressed the announcement directly and shared her reaction alongside her partner:
“Tanguy and I are very excited. I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

She expanded on that thought, speaking more broadly about awareness around pregnancy and how her perspective has been shaped over time:
“I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant… I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful.”
The interview frames the pregnancy as a private family development rather than a public reveal, with Portman offering only select comments on the subject. She did not go into detail about her due date or any further plans, keeping the focus on her immediate response to the news.

Portman is already a mother of two children from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The current pregnancy is her third child and her first with French musician and producer Tanguy Destable.
Within the interview, her comments remained centred on gratitude and awareness, with no additional statements made beyond the brief reflections shared during the conversation.

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato Reunited on Opening Night of Her ‘It’s Not That Deep’ Tour
Demi Lovato kicked off her ‘It’s Not That Deep’ tour in Orlando on Monday, and the opening night delivered considerably more than anyone expected. Selena Gomez was in attendance, watching from box seats in the audience. She later shared photos from the night and wrote that she was in tears, describing it as one of the best shows she had ever seen. The two were photographed embracing backstage, marking their first known photo together in nearly a decade.

Their friendship runs deeper than Disney. They starred together in the 2009 film “Princess Protection Program” before gradually drifting apart around 2010. Speaking on the ‘Baby, This is Keke Palmer’ podcast in March, Lovato credited that pre-Disney friendship as a source of safety when she first entered that world. “I felt this safety when I came into the Disney Channel, having a built-in friendship there already,” she said

The nostalgia did not stop there. Backstage, Lovato posted a TikTok using audio from a Keeping Up with the Kardashians promo, mouthing the words “OK guys, we’re back. Did you miss us? ‘Cause we missed you.” Joe Jonas, who also appeared during the night for a surprise stage performance of “This Is Me” from “Camp Rock” and “On the Line,” joined in the nostalgic moment, with both leaning fully into what the evening represented.

Monday’s opening night also lands in the middle of a broader wave of Disney Channel nostalgia. Miley Cyrus returned to her “Hannah Montana” roots last month for the show’s 20th anniversary special and had her own reunion with Gomez, who had a recurring role on the series. For a generation that grew up on that era, 2026 has already delivered more than expected.
