Selena Gomez and BLACKPINK’s recent interaction caused a stir among fans when the American popstar took to her Instagram to post pictures with the hit girl group on November 26, 2022.

Gomez’s Instagram caption is a reference to the lyrics from her and the hit group's collaboration song, Ice Cream.

Through the artist's pictures and the girl group’s outfits, it looks like they met at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, where the girl group was performing. She is presumed to have attended the concert held in Newark on November 15, 2022.

“Selpink finally happened”: Twitterati go wild as Selena Gomez and BLACKPINK get together

Fans were dazzled as the K-pop girl group finally met Gomez in person after two years at their Born Pink concert. The pictures showed the celebrities sweetly embracing each other.

BLINKS couldn’t contain their joy and happiness when they saw photos of Selena Gomez and the group together. They did not hesitate to express their happiness and joy over Twitter.

While some wanted to stream Ice Cream again to make it reach Billboard No.1, others wanted to see the hit artists perform their English collaboration together at the concert.

One fan went on to describe Ice Cream as the most successful female collaboration in history. Another called Selena Gomez the "fifth member of BLACKPINK."

Selena Gomez is close to BLACKPINK members

In 2020, American popstar Gomez and the K-pop girl group collaborated for an English single, Ice Cream, which was a hit among fans, who are still wishing for another collaboration between them. The hit single peaked at No.13 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of its release.

Gomez and the members of the group Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa, have been close to each other since their said collaboration.

The collaboration happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there were strict travel restrictions, following which the group could not meet Selena Gomez and had to film their music video in separate places.

While the entire girl group didn’t meet her together, members Jisoo and Rosé got the opportunity to meet her at a fashion show held in New York in 2019.

Meanwhile, other famous celebrities also attended the BORN PINK World Tour and met the group excitedly. In the first two concerts that were held in California, Latin American popstar Camila Cabello performed with member Jisoo on-stage to her song Liar.

BLACKPINK is currently getting ready for their BORN PINK Tour with two more shows to be held in London between November 30 and December 1.
