Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco: A Love Story in the Spotlight

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship has been the subject of much excitement, culminating in their recent engagement announcement on Wednesday. The couple has built a meaningful bond, both personally and professionally, with a strong foundation in music and mutual admiration. Selena and Benny are an artistic power duo, and fans are thrilled for the next chapter of their story. As they prepare for their wedding, the anticipation surrounding the music at their ceremony is high —especially since it will likely reflect their shared experiences, influences, and creative connections with their closest friends in the industry.



Wedding Music Proposal

Let’s imagine what the music might look like for their wedding ceremony, blending personal favorites, musical influences, and their relationships with other celebrated artists.


Prelude (Guests Arriving)

  • Back to You - Selena Gomez, Classical Version

  • Rare - Selena Gomez, Classical Version

  • Lover - Taylor Swift, Classical Version

  • Love on Top - Beyoncé, Classical Version

  • Love You Like a Love Song - Selena Gomez, Classical Version

  • Ocean Eyes - Billie Eilish, Classical Version


Why These Prelude Selections Are Meaningful

The prelude music sets the tone for a romantic and intimate ceremony from the first moments of guests' arrival, with a mix of familiar favorites and meaningful tributes to the couple's influences. Selena and Benny's wedding music will undoubtedly be a reflection of their shared experiences, love for music, and personal connections. While we don’t know for sure where their wedding will take place, it’s fun to imagine them choosing a venue that features a beautiful garden setting, especially given Selena’s love for them. These serene, nature-filled environments would provide a perfect backdrop for the romantic, intimate feel these prelude selections embody. The classical arrangements (think violin and piano) and string versions (think string trio or quartet) of these beloved songs would complement the lush surroundings, creating a peaceful yet emotionally charged atmosphere.

"Back to You" and "Rare" bring Selena's heartfelt style into the spotlight, while "Lover", by Selena's best friend Taylor Swift, ties their friendship to the ceremony while capturing the romantic essence of the day. "Love on Top" brings Beyoncé’s empowering energy into the mix, underscoring joy and celebration. "Love You Like a Love Song" offers a sense of nostalgia and finally “Ocean Eyes”, by Billie Eilish, adds a calm, reflective moment, which contrasts beautifully with the nature of the previous selections and winds down the Prelude as we prepare for the main event:



Processional (Wedding Party/Family Entrance)

  • Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer (Strings Version)


Grand Entrance (Selena’s Walk Down the Aisle)

  • You Are in Love - Taylor Swift (Lyrics with Classical Version & Violin Harmony)


Recessional (After Pronouncement of Marriage)

  • Uptown Funk - Bruno Mars


Postlude (Guest Exit & Transition to Cocktail Hour)

  • I Can’t Get Enough - Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez (Violin Cover)


Why These Selections Would Be Particularly Meaningful

The processional song "Kiss Me" creates a sweet, romantic atmosphere as the wedding party enters. The grand entrance with "You Are in Love" by Taylor Swift, would beautifully underscore Selena’s walk down the aisle. "Uptown Funk" provides a vibrant, celebratory mood for the recessional, reflecting Benny’s playful nature and the couple’s shared sense of fun. Finally, "I Can’t Get Enough", the collaboration between the couple and their musical peers, marks the transition into the cocktail hour with an upbeat, personal touch that brings their joint creative vision to life.
