In a moment that felt straight out of a fairytale, Selena Gomez surprised her wedding guests by doing what she does best — singing from the heart.
The 33-year-old superstar, who tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco, stunned the intimate crowd when she stepped up to the microphone during the reception and began an emotional performance of her 2011 hit, “Love You Like a Love Song.”
Though the track has long been a pop anthem, Gomez transformed it into something deeply personal. Stripped back and raw, her voice trembled with emotion as she turned the familiar chorus into a heartfelt vow for her new husband.
As Blanco watched from his seat, visibly overcome with tears, Gomez smiled through her own as she paused mid-chorus to take in the moment. Guests later described the scene as “pure magic,” with one attendee noting, “It felt like she was singing just for him — the whole room disappeared.”
Videos from the ceremony, which quickly went viral on social media, captured friends and family swaying along, many clutching tissues as they wiped away tears. The candlelit setting only heightened the intimacy of the moment, with the glow casting Gomez in a soft light as she sang directly to her husband.
One guest later shared online: “We’ve seen her sing on the biggest stages in the world, but nothing compared to hearing her sing to the man she loves, surrounded by people who mean the most to her.”
After finishing the song, Gomez addressed her guests, her voice breaking slightly as she explained why she chose that performance:
“I wanted my first song as a wife to be a promise — that our love will always be music we carry in our hearts.”
Her words were met with thunderous applause, followed by a standing ovation from the emotional crowd.
Clips of the performance spread rapidly online, with fans praising the singer for sharing such a personal and authentic moment. Many noted how perfectly the song fit as a wedding vow, with comments ranging from “Selena turned her own classic into the most romantic gesture ever,” to “This is what love sounds like.”
The performance was just one highlight of a wedding that blended Hollywood glamour with heartfelt intimacy. Guests later described the evening as a perfect reflection of the couple’s journey — a love story rooted in friendship, music, and authenticity.
For Gomez, who has often used music as a way to process her deepest emotions, the decision to sing on her wedding day felt like a natural extension of who she is. And for her new husband, it was the ultimate gift — a love song turned into a lifelong promise.
