Celebrity shipping is no new phenomenon in the world of entertainment, no matter how creepy it can get at times. Fans often call for their favorite stars to date, just because, in their eyes, they make a picture-perfect couple. Some fans of these shipped celebrities even go the extra mile to create social media accounts, ship videos, and fan fiction. At times, shipping also gives producers a winning on-screen pair. And today, the internet might have just stumbled upon its new couple craze- Selena Gomez and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. 

Gomez and Taylor-Johnson are currently being shipped by fans, despite the fact that these ‘ships’ have already sailed. Gomez is in a seemingly happy relationship with Benny Blanco, while Taylor-Johnson has been tied down to Sam Taylor-Johnson for over a decade. But this has not stopped the internet from justifying why Gomez and Taylor-Johnson might be better off together and deserve each other instead.

While this can be incredibly handy when it comes to promoting an on-screen pair or helping celebrities stay in the limelight, shipping also often shows its less pleasant side. Take Justin Bieber, for example. Imagine being happily married and still having to deal with fans constantly claiming that the ex was the real soulmate and that breaking up with them was the biggest mistake. Nevertheless, the subtle dehumanization of celebrities has yet again led to a new celebrity ship.

Fans have showered X with sweet comments about the fan-created couple, while others have harshly trolled their real-life partners. 

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been officially dating for months now, but people continue to criticize the songstress. They argue that she should be dating someone who, in their opinion, of course, is more attractive than Blanco. A similar scenario was seen with actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson and director Sam Taylor-Johnson, who have also faced criticism over their 24-year age gap. And this sentiment was felt in the response to the new ship as well. 

Meanwhile, some fans could easily picture Selena Gomez and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a couple, like "a romcom vision". 

While Gomez and Taylor-Johnson might never live up to fans’ dreams of seeing them together, this certainly sets the stage for the entertainment industry to cast them in a project. And it is not hard to see why they might create some serious on-screen chemistry.
