Selena Gomez Shares Intense Prep for ‘Emilia Pérez’
Selena Gomez, the American singer and actress, recently shared insights on how she prepared for her role in the new Spanish musical, “Emilia Pérez”. Gomez revealed that she took a hiatus from music and other commitments to fully immerse herself in the role.
During a Q&A session with the cast at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2024, Gomez explained her dedication to the project. “I put my music and everything else on hold to focus solely on this musical. Each day, I’d wake up and rehearse my lines repeatedly, even calling my Spanish teacher in the middle of the night,” she shared.
In the film, Gomez, 32, portrays the character Jessi Del Monte and described the experience of singing in the movie as “therapeutic.” Netflix unveiled the first trailer for the Spanish-language French film on August 26, highlighting the movie’s genre-defying and audacious storyline, which also features Zoe Saldaña.
Nigerian music superstar, Davido, has extended his congratulations to fellow Nigerian artist, Tems, for her recent victory at the 67th Grammy Awards.

Davido, who has always been supportive of his fellow artists, took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to express his pride in Tems.
“Congratulations to my one and only! @chrisbrown! And to the Queen @temsbaby, we are proud of you,” Davido wrote, showing both his excitement and admiration for Tems’ achievement.

Trevor’s remark about the changes in Washington stirred curiosity as he reflected on the political climate.
“There’s been a few changes in Washington, so this may be the last time I get to host anything in this country,” he said.
Beyoncé has achieved a historic milestone at the 2025 Grammy Awards, securing her first-ever Album of the Year award for her country-inspired project, Cowboy Carter.
This victory marks the first time a Black woman has won this prestigious category since Lauryn Hill’s triumph in 1999.
Cowboy Carter not only clinched Album of the Year but also earned the accolade for Best Country Album, making Beyoncé the first Black woman in over five decades to win a Grammy in a country category.
During the ceremony, Taylor Swift presented the award to a visibly moved Beyoncé, who expressed her gratitude to God, her family, and collaborators.
She emphasized the importance of perseverance in transcending genre boundaries and acknowledged the contributions of Black and LGBTQ+ artists to country music.
