Selena Gomez

Pop superstar Selena Gomez captivated the hearts of students and attendees at Telluride High School in Colorado with an unexpected visit over the weekend. The surprise was in response to a public invitation from the school's girls' volleyball team, who had eagerly posted a bright orange sign requesting Gomez to perform the national anthem at one of their games during her visit for the Telluride Film Festival.

The "Only Murders in the Building" actress shared the heartwarming experience on Instagram, showcasing videos and photos of her interaction with the students. Arriving in a smart blazer paired with jeans, Gomez was met with overwhelming excitement as she entered the gymnasium. Fans and students alike rushed to greet her, clearly thrilled by her presence.

The sign that caught Gomez's attention read: "Selena Gomez, please sing the National Anthem @ one of [our] home games," complete with dates and a coach's contact information. Although Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Gomez did not perform the anthem, her surprise visit alone was more than enough to delight the fans. She took time to pose for photos and sign autographs, further endearing herself to the young athletes.

Gomez was in town to promote her latest film "Emilia Pérez," a Spanish-language musical crime comedy also starring Zoe Saldaña and other notable actors. The film, which recently garnered a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, is set for select theater release in November.

"They asked!! Couldn't help it, it's my first time in Telluride!" Gomez expressed in her social media post, reflecting her enthusiasm and appreciation for the warm welcome she received. Her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, and fellow celebrities showed their support on social media, praising her for the unexpected act of kindness. Gomez's visit not only underscored her star power but also her connection with fans, making a memorable impact on the Telluride community and beyond.
