Selena Gomez has been a busy woman ever since her Disney days. However, the singer has truly peaked in the past few years. The starlet has been on television ever since she was a toddler appearing in not just the most popular children’s show but also the most prominent children’s studios, Barney & Friends and Disney, respectively. And lately, Gomez has been on a mission to spread the message of Rare Beauty. The singer in 2020, released her chart-topping album titled Rare and even launched her makeup brand, which is now the best in the market.

Toward the end of 2022, Selena Gomez looked back on her journey over the years with her tell-all documentary My Mind and Me. The documentary became viral for all the right reasons. Given all that she has done, it does not come as a shock that Selena Gomez is on the biggest billboard at New York’s Time Square. However, no one expected her to pop up instead of the iconic Happy New Year ball drop at the New York Times Square that thousands gather to see.
