The Weeknd surprised fans on Tuesday (January 5) with his latest music video for "Save Your Tears" off his blockbuster After Hours LP and the video's leading lady has Twitter buzzing.
In the Cliqua-directed clip, Abel appears hardly recognizable as he wears dramatic facial prosthetics, but the clip also features a female model that many have compared to Selena Gomez, the singer’s girlfriend of 10 months. The two dated in 2017, before reportedly calling it quits in October because of distance. "It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it's been hard for months," an insider told E! News at the time. "They have been open and honest about it and where they were going. Distance definitely played a factor."
Head over to the social media platform and you'll notice that several fans have caught wind of the uncanny resemblance of the clip's model and the pop titan's look from her 2020 video for "Dance Again." Scroll on below to see some of the many reactions to the new video and make a judgment call for yourself!
So I watched the Weeknd’s new MV save your tears and I read in the comments that at 2:03 you can hear him say Selena and I actually kinda hear ittttt ... so is the song about her or am I imagining? Some peeps think it’s about Bella Hadid but nah I think it’s our girl Selena Gomez pic.twitter.com/ZXUW81XyTC
