The natural chemistry between Selena Gomez and Karol G could also have been sensed during the interview and was enjoyed by the viewers.

It is not a secret that Gomez answers that Spears is her pop icon, and her latest appearance at GOAT Talk supported that opinion.

When Selena Gomez launched her own beauty line, Rare Beauty, in 2020, she also expressed her admiration for her favorite pop star. In the Instagram live session, she was quoted as saying:

"I was going to the Britney concert and I remember just being in the nosebleeds, obsessed with her. She was my idol. I remember saying, 'I want to be like her.' Then fast forward a few years later and I'm sitting down at some event just talking to her. She, to me, is an icon. I was like pouring out my love to her as a fan and it’s like that feeling. Who would have thought that I would be able to be with you? And who thought I would be able to get my own make-up line in the best store that I grew up in?"

The friendship of Selena Gomez and Karol G has been blossoming in recent years as well, and this is no longer something that only applies to the professional setting anymore. Both of them respect each other a lot, and they are also spotted together regularly at close events. Their chemistry was evident in their recent GOAT Talk appearance as well.
