Selena Gomez paid tribute to late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez — her namesake — by covering one of her songs during her weekend concert.
On Saturday, Selena was in San Antonio where she performed the slain songstress' 1995 hit "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in front of a wide-eyed crowd, including her on-again beau Nick Jonas.
The 17-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place has said that to her family — her father is Mexican and her mother is of Italian descent — it's "really a big deal" that she is "named after such a wonderful person." And it's been reported that she met the late Selena's brother, later recounting: "It was very emotional when he came up to me and said my sister was named Selena and I said I was named after her. It was a really powerful moment."
In addition to the Selena cover, the Texas native — dressed in a white-and-silver dress and sparkly black vest — did versions of Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” and Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold.“
As for Nick, he was trying to go incognito wearing a black cowboy hat, but concertgoers immediately had his number -- and you can see him on the end of the video below.
In an interview last week, Selena was completely at a loss for words when she was asked about Nick.
