Selena Gomez is now all over the internet with her record-breaking song "Ice Cream" with BLACKPINK, but why did she skip the VMAs!

Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez, 28, is back with yet another song with BLACKPINK called "Ice Cream," and it's amazing and she's also launching her makeup line in just a few days. Basically, she has her hand full! But this is not why Selena opted not to fly to New York for the 2020 MTV VMAs, as she neither had nominations nor was she scheduled to perform at the ceremony. 

Selena spent her quarantine in California but she's likely to relocate to New York in October as the shooting for her new series 'Only Murders' is about to happen. Her shooting for the series is in the Building with Steve Martin and Martin Short for 'Hulu.'

Short talked about his and Selena's project in an interview with The Daily Beast earlier this month. "It’s supposed to start filming in October, in New York. It’s called Only Murders in the Building. And it’s about three people who live in one of those upscale apartment buildings in New York. They see each on the elevator, they kind of nod, but they never really speak. They don’t even know each other’s names. And then you find out that each one of them goes to their individual apartments and just turns on true crime and obsesses," he said. "And then one time they’re in the elevator with this fourth person. And they find out that the fourth person is killed and they’re determined to solve it. But they make a pact: only murders in the building will they solve. Because they can’t be bothered to go outside.” 

Selena also opened up about her summer in quarantine to Zane Lowe on Apple Music this week amid the BLM movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's definitely been hard, and I know that it's been harder on others, so there is this consciousness that I have for what's happening," she said. "I feel like, in general, it's been a lot to carry, but I have been hopeful throughout this whole process, and that's been very important to me, releasing things right now that feels good. As far as summer, me and my friends are testing it all outside. We've made our own kind of summer, the people I've quarantined with, so we for sure make it what we can."
