Selena Gomez opened up about the reaction to her kidney transplant while taking the stage at WE Day!
The 26-year-old singer spoke on stage during the annual event, which took place in April but aired on television on Friday night (August 18).
During the show, Selena helped introduce eight-year-old Nellie Mainor, who suffers from a rare kidney disease.
“You are focusing on making the world a more hopeful place and you encourage me and all of my friends to do the same,” Selena said to the audience.
She continued, “As maybe some of you know, I had a kidney transplant this year and so many people from across the country reached out and they offered their support. And others told me how hearing my story helped them find their own courage and helped other people want to get involved and donate. They reminded me how lucky I am to have a platform where I can share with you guys and I can pay the love forward.”

Kylie Jenner strikes a pose on Vogue Australia‘s September issue, on shelves August 27th.
The 21-year-old reality star opened up about being mom and boyfriend Travis Scott. Check it:
On her life after welcoming daughter Stormi: “I don’t think my life has changed since becoming a mum: I think the way I look at life has changed since becoming a mum. I think more of the future. I used to live each day as it came, and now I look at the future more. I actually feel like I love myself more after I had Stormi. And I’m trying to be…I mean, I’m already a positive person, but just having fun, being positive.”
On living with boyfriend Travis Scott: “I’m actually scrolling through Instagram right now, and it says that me and Travis don’t live together, and so I just want to say that we never miss a night with each other, we go back and forth from my Calabasas house and the city home that we actually got together.”
On how Stormi has impacted her outlook on beauty: “I feel like having a daughter, and thinking about beauty in the future, has definitely changed me, and I feel like it has made me love myself more and accept everything about me. Even my ears, I always felt like they stuck out too far, and she has the same ears as me and so now I love my ears. It’s just having a different outlook on life so I can pass that on to her. I want to be an example for her. What kind of example would I be if she said she didn’t like her ears, and then I didn’t like them either? I just want to teach her that. I’m trying to love myself more.”
The 25-year-old singer explained that she said she was going to marry Pete after working with him on Saturday Night Live.
“I left his writers room when we were writing skits and stuff for the show…And I left the room and I jokingly said to my tour manager, I was like, ‘I’m marrying him 100 percent.’ I was like, ‘I’m literally marrying him,’” Ariana explained on The Tonight Show.
Despite her feelings, the pair didn’t even become friends until much later.
Ariana added, “We never exchanged numbers or anything. We weren’t even friends for the longest time. But I had the biggest crush in the world on him the whole time, like forever.”

When season three of Riverdale arrives, you’re going to see a major change with Kevin Keller and Josie McCoy’s dynamic.
Stars Ashleigh Murray and Casey Cott opened up to Hidden Remote in a new interview about how their characters, who shared very seldom scenes together in the previous seasons, are going to have a brand new relationship.
“We developed such a sweet chemistry,” Ashleigh shared, remembering the moments Josie and Kevin did have. “Casey is really funny and has incredible comedic timing and I feel like that’s definitely something that we need more of in the show.”
She continues, “Not that it’s not great because it’s so dark, but because it’s nice to have that one person there to show you that life isn’t all bad. I think that the dynamic that Josie and Kevin have is going to bring a fun, sassy, comedic layer.”
Casey adds, “[It's] a new light to both of our characters. I think it’s a really wonderful opportunity for them to dive into both of our characters and I hope that they take that opportunity and run with it.”
“I think that Josie is such a dynamic, layered person for so many different reasons that I’m excited to see them dive [into the character]. I’m glad that they’re hopefully going to use me and my character to explore more of her character because I think it’s fascinating; I think it’s wonderful.”
