For Disney fans – this is a miraculous day that we’ve never seen coming! Miley has been doing a Instagram Live for a couple of days now to entertain her fans where she has famous celebrities on – from Demi Lovato and Reese Witherspoon. But her fellow Disney star Selena Gomez is one that is the most unexpected yet.
In the past, Miley and Selena weren’t exactly rivalries but they aren’t exactly friends either. This was probably because they both dated Nick Jonas and may have had some drama in the past (remember when Miley and Mandy made a video mocking Selena and Demi?). But they both have taken similar paths, along with Demi to transition from hit Disney shows to successful music careers.
Now, almost 8 years since their TV shows have finished airing, they go on Instagram Live and looking at them now really shows how far they’ve come.
Here is what they talked about:
Selena started off telling Miley she has always been a fan and think she is one of the best singers. Miley mentioned how appreciative she was of just Selena sending her a butterfly emoji in her DMs to show her support. Ironically, when Selena guest starred on Hannah Montana as Mikayla, she played Mikaya and told her the exact same thing but didn’t mean it LOL.
They talked about coping with quarantine period. Selena said some strategies she uses are diabetic therapy, reading scripture and poetry, taking walks outside, communicating with their friends, and sometimes just crying it out.
They actually have a lot in common other than being former Disney stars – they talked about their mental health. Selena revealed that she was diagnosed with being BiPolar and Miley said she was OCD when she was younger.
Selena mentioned that a good way to deal with mental health issues is to learn about them because the more knowledge you have on it the less it will scare you. She compared it to when she was younger and was scared of thunderstorms but was not afraid after her mom brought her books on the topic so she can learn more about them. Miley mentions that she has anxiety too and it comes in when she is not given enough time to be prepared on set.
They connected on family afterwards. Selena got emotional at one point about how scared she is for her grandparents because people are not taking it seriously. Miley mentions how this is the longest she’s been without seeing her mom who visits her grandma everyday.
Selena then mentions that one of her favourite memory was when her little sister was born and how holding her when she was born to her chest was one of her anchoring memories and when she smells baby powder, she is reminded of happiness. Miley says her sister Noah is 20 and sometimes she is the coolest person to her but sometimes she doesn’t know her at all. Selena says she is still considered cool.
For those who have grown up watching Disney Channel in the late 2000s-early 2010s, and have followed their careers until now, this brings back a lot of nostalgia and we hope they can keep in touch in the future!
