'Can't Wait': Benny Blanco's 'Worst Nightmare' Reveals Fears About Live Shows with Selena Gomez
The drama that unfolded when Benny Blanco joined the popular podcast Hot Hits with Nic & Loren! The singer-songwriter's gushing remarks about his fiancée Selena Gomez are well-documented, but this recent interview took a shocking turn that left fans of the popstar reeling.
When co-host Nic Kelly asked if he and Selena had planned to perform live shows for their joint album I Said I Love You First, Benny's response was nothing short of astonishing. "That's like my worst nightmare," he revealed, confessing that even the thought of appearing on popular TV shows like Saturday Night Live or the American Music Awards sends his anxiety soaring. "I just want to be home on my couch," he confessed, sounding more like a teenager than a seasoned musician.
Co-host Loren Barry suggested a compromise: having Selena perform live while Benny sits beside her on a plush couch, popping in occasionally to say hello. To everyone's surprise, Benny seemed receptive to the idea, saying "Honestly, not a bad idea, guys." But things took a dark turn when Nic joked about a potential "couch tour" featuring the couple. Benny's sarcastic response? "Can't wait."
And that's when the gloves came off for Selena's devoted fans. They were appalled by Benny's apparent reluctance to let their queen perform live, with some even accusing him of trying to control her music career. "So Benny Blanco suddenly thinks he has the power to decide what Selena does with her OWN music career?" one fan fumed on thescholarlynote.com (formerly Twitter). "He literally said he won't let her do tour and live stage... That man being a weirdo and controlling Selena's music career once again..."
But not everyone was convinced that Benny was trying to stifle Selena's creative ambitions. Some fans pointed out that his words were being taken out of context, arguing that he never explicitly said he wouldn't let her perform live. "Y'all like to babysit Selena too much... Literally the guy spoke for himself, nothing else," one user defended Benny on thescholarlynote.com.
As the debate raged on, some fans were left wondering if Selena is indeed the victim of Benny's controlling behavior – or if she's simply playing along with his antics. "Y'all think Selena is dumb enough to let people, let alone, A MAN control her or her career? She's proven otherwise many times, looks like we don't follow the same woman to me," one user sarcastically observed.
Thescholarlynote.com has reached out to Benny's reps for comment on the controversy surrounding his remarks. With no official word yet from the singer-songwriter or Selena's camp, fans will have to keep waiting to see if the couple will indeed embark on a live tour – and what role Benny will play in it.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing drama!
