Selena Gomez lip-syncs to Nick Jonas' Burnin' Up
Selena Gomez recently shared a TikTok video from her 2026 Rare Impact Fund Benefit. It showed the actress-singer in a custom Prada gown and satin heels.

In fact, she focused on Nick's memorable lyrics about "red dress" while showing off her outfit. Moreover, Selena captioned the video, writing:
"Feeling nostalgic."
Every Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez fan knows how the song holds a special place in the former couple's history. Burnin' Up was released in 2008 when Selena and Nick were reportedly dating. The actress also featured as Nick's love interest in its music video. Although the Jonas Brothers never mentioned whether the song was inspired by her, Selena's latest appearance in the video has certainly struck a chord with Disney-era fans.

Later, Selena joked about the unusual coincidence and shared that she and Taylor both dated Jonas brothers. Looking back, she feels that their friendship was the best thing out of the situation.

The actress mentioned that they met some time back and it was fun. Selena also described their relationship as "puppy love" and expressed her continued affection for him. In her words:
"We actually caught up the other day, and it's really fun to be able to do that. That, to me, was like puppy love. It was very sweet. He's lovely. I do have a love for him for sure."
