Justin Bieber probably has complicated feelings about Selena Gomez’s engagement.
And fans think he’s reacting publicly.
On Wednesday, December 11, Selena shared the news of her engagement. Benny Blanco is now her fiancé.
The Biebs’ latest post shows his reaction – at least that’s what fans think.
Is Justin Bieber Reacting To Selena Gomez’s Engagement?
On Monday, December 16, Justin Bieber posted some Instagram updates for his fans and followers.
Apparently, he was sharing selfies, pictures with his wife and glimpses of his social life and recent vacation. You see, he and Hailey went to a friend’s wedding.
However, the choice of music for their video seemed a bit strange Little On the nose.
Dijon’s “The Dress” is playing in the background of Justin Bieber’s video.
To put it bluntly, it’s a song about reminiscing about one’s former partner.
“We should go out and dance like we used to dance, we should go out and hold hands like lovers hold hands,” are some of the lyrics. “And I can’t tell you who will survive, well, maybe that’s a question and an answer I don’t have.”
That wasn’t Justin Bieber’s only story-telling song
Justin Bieber’s second reported comment on Selena Gomez’s engagement news involved Lizzie McAlphin’s song, “All My Ghosts”.
Lyrics from the song in this Instagram post include: “I can see it now, wedding of the year. I can see it now, he stands there and wipes his tears. I can see it now, when all my ghosts are gone, I can see it crystal clear.
Fans and followers were quick to fill the comments section.
The responses called Justin Bieber “predictable” for his song choice, with one accusing him of feeling like “her engagement hurts like a knife in the heart.” The reaction was quite sharp.
This isn’t just a tinfoil hat situation about music choices. After all, many – perhaps most – songs deal with relationships, heartbreak, love, and other emotions. It is also about the timing of the post.
Commenters said that “of course he was going to post something now” after being fairly quiet following the birth of his and Hailey’s son, Jack.
What’s going on?
To be clear, there has long been a belief that Justin Bieber has a crush on Selena – and, perhaps, he always will.
Just a few months before he proposed to Hailey, he seemed determined to marry Selena. And there is a widespread belief that Hailey’s actions only seem to be “obsessed” with Selena because she has a husband.
It’s very likely that Justin Bieber did not intend the song selection or timing of these posts to be a comment on Selena Gomez’s engagement. But he should know that fans are expecting a reaction from him.
