She hails from the Lone Star State.
And Selena Gomez proved she is still a Texas girl at heart in an outdoorsy new photo-shoot she posted to Instagram on Friday.
The 28-year-old was country chic in a jacket dripping with glittery fringe on top of a black bralette that showed off her cleavage.
Selena, who was born in the town of Grand Prairie, wore her hair in an elegantly wavy do and put on some scarlet lipstick.
She slipped into a pair of jeans and added a splash of dazzle to her ensemble with a pair of heart-shaped hoop earrings.
At one point she swapped out the hearts for simple round hoops and replaced the fringe wrap with a stylish denim jacket.
The pop star’s roots are so intertwined with Texas history that she was named after the late Tejano singing legend Selena Quintanilla.
A few years ago she told Vogue during a 73 Questions interview that when she visits her home state her favorite pastime is ‘eating my nana’s food.’
Lately Selena has been seen in New York City filming her upcoming sitcom Only Murders In The Building starring her with Steve Martin and Martin Short.
She was recently spotted getting close with her co-star Aaron Dominguez which set off a flurry of dating rumors – until it emerged they had just been filming a scene.
‘We had just started working together. I honestly thought: “No wonder guys don’t want to date me!”‘ she quipped to the Los Angeles Times.
‘I think people only care because I’m young, and the older I get the less they’ll care. For now it’s a part of the job that I don’t really like. I’m actually grateful that I’m not involved with anyone right now,’ Selena confessed.
Steve created the upcoming series with John Hoffman who has written on such shows as Grace And Frankie and Looking.
Selena, Steve and Martin all play people who all live in the same apartment building and are all very into true-crime, Variety reports.
When someone is murdered in their building the three lead characters wind up using their amateur sleuthing skills to try and get to the bottom of the crime.
On the music front Selena released her first Spanish-language EP Revelacion a week ago after dropping singles from it like De Una Vez.
