Selena Gomez recently revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that her music idol growing up was Kurt Cobain, the late frontman of Nirvana. Despite being born just two years before Cobain's death, Gomez expressed her deep admiration for his music and style, even going as far as dyeing and cutting her hair to resemble him. She confessed to watching his interviews and performances repeatedly, as well as being a fan of his documentary.
While Gomez had not publicly discussed her love for Cobain before, she had hinted at it over the years. In 2017, she dyed her hair blonde in a '90s-inspired look dubbed 'Nirvana Blonde' by her colorists. She also made references to Nirvana songs in her social media posts, further showcasing her appreciation for the iconic band.
Aside from her admiration for Cobain, Gomez is set to star in a Linda Ronstadt biopic, where she will portray the music legend. She expressed her excitement for the project on social media, calling it a dream come true. Additionally, Gomez recently released a new single titled 'Love On,' accompanied by a music video directed by Greg Ohrel. The song, inspired by her love for Paris, received positive feedback from fans and her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
'Love On' marks Gomez's first single of the year, following her previous release 'Single Soon' in August 2023. The pop star continues to explore her musical talents and express her admiration for rock icons like Kurt Cobain through her work and personal style.
