Just when you thought Selena Gomez couldn’t cover any more facets of the internet, she became a viral meme. The singer has been more active on her Instagram lately, from posting steamy selfies to promoting her new song, Single Soon. Her 427 million followers didn’t miss the opportunity to turn one social media story into a full-blown trend — the Selena Gomez blanket meme.
The internet didn’t skip a beat when it came to captioning the photo of the Only Murders In the Building actress sitting on a wooden chair wrapped in a Mexican blanket. Gomez poked fun at herself when she reposted a tweet that compared her to those “horror movie characters sitting in the back of an ambulance after almost dying.” We have to admit, though, that one made us laugh. Turns out, the Teal and Gray Mexican Blanket by Laguna Beach Textile Co that Gomez cozied up with is only $39 on Amazon.

The blanket is made of polyester, cotton, and acrylic. It’s described as “durable,” with 12 available color patterns to choose from. Gomez also reposted the caption, joking, “My mom just sent me this old picture of my abuela from when she was still living in Mexico. This was taken during a year without rain.” This isn't the first time Gomez has made fun of herself online — remember that viral self-tanning incident at the 2018 Met Gala? Yeah, she commented on that through an Instagram post back then, too.
Gomez’s more recent viral post includes a TikTok voiceover promoting her new song, which releases on August 25th. Some fans feel that it's a nod to Hailey and Justin Bieber (due to the fact that it mentions a man leaving his wife). While that narrative plays itself out — and has been played out., for years now—we are going to focus on recreating that viral blanket meme on our back porch. We also plan on adding those Sandra 2” Hoops by Jennifer Zeuner from Gomez's TikTok to our carts (although the Chunky Gold Hoop Earrings Amazon dupes are just as trendy and much more affordable at only $6.84).
