Selena Gomez is set to star alongside Joe Alwyn in director Brady Corbet's upcoming film, with the casting announcement drawing online attention because of Alwyn's past relationship with Taylor Swift.
Discussion surrounding the project grew after a TikTok creator said many viewers were asking the same question: Why is Selena Gomez, one of Swift's closest friends, working with her former boyfriend? The topic quickly became the focus of the video's comment section, where fans debated whether the casting should be viewed through the lens of celebrity relationships or simply as a professional acting role.
