By now you’ve probably seen the dirty bottoms of Benny Blanco‘s feet, whether you wanted to or not. In case you somehow missed them, though, here’s the deal: last week on the debut episode of Blanco’s new podcast with his BFF, Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd, Friends Keep Secrets, Blanco caused a ruckus when he hoisted his dirt-covered soles onto the couch at Burd’s home, where the podcast is taped.
Blanco and Burd then appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, during which the producer explained that there was dust and dirt on the set from moving equipment around, so, technically, it wasn’t his fault. Still, the internet did not like it one bit.
You know who did? Selena Gomez. The singer/actress dropped by the pod for its second show on Tuesday (March 3) to let the team go through her DMs, talk about mental health, the couple’s wedding last year and their future plans for kids. Oh, and at one point, Gomez leaned over and kissed Benny’s not-dirty-this-time feet.
Seriously.
While chatting with third host, Kristin Batalucco (Burd’s wife), about the pros and cons of “leashes” for toddlers, without any prompting Gomez leaned over and gently smooched Blanco’s toes, which once again were exposed and propped up on Burd and Batalucco’s coffee table. The sweet gesture elicited a smile from Blanco as he grinned over at Burd and asked, “you like that?”
Selena then gently tapped Benny on the leg and said, “don’t make it a moment.”
Too late.
“Oh no, I liked it,” Blanco smiled. “It made me feel good. I love you so much.”
Elsewhere in the pod, Gomez confirmed that BFF Taylor Swift’s Evermore track “Dorothea” was written about her. “There’s this song Taylor wrote about us, and it was called ‘Family,’” she added about the unreleased song inspired by her. “It was basically saying, ‘You have these amazing dreams, you want to be in movies — like, in every crowd I still see you.’ And then her part was, ‘You believe in my stupid dreams, like playing stadiums.’ Now when I listen to that song, both of those things have happened for us. And that’s really sweet, because back then, she was just, like, ‘I wrote this song about us. It was just our story, kind of.’ And it was the sweetest thing.”
