Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Ignite Passover Seder with ‘Bluest Flame’ Karaoke Bash
Hold onto your coffee mugs, because Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco just turned a Passover Seder into the party of the year—and I’m buzzing about it! Picture this: April 20, friends and family gathered around a beautifully set table, traditional challah shaped into a cheeky “4/20,” and the soundtrack of the night? None other than Gomez and Blanco belting out their own track, “Bluest Flame,” like karaoke royalty. Yes, you read that right—karaoke at Seder, and honestly, why hasn’t this been a thing forever?
Cookbook author Jake Cohen gave us an exclusive window into the fun on Instagram, sharing a carousel of snaps and videos that are equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. There’s Selena, cozying up to Benny, both grinning like they’ve unlocked some secret level of joy (source: Jake Cohen’s IG). Then there’s Benny taking charge behind the DJ decks—talk about multi‑talent! The caption read “Later Seder 2025 xoxo The Jewish Joy Boys,” which, if you ask me, should be the name of their next pop collaboration.
Flashback to March 19, when the duo surprised everyone at the A24 x IMAX screening of Spring Breakers in New York City by previewing “Bluest Flame.” Two days later, on March 21, they dropped their album I Said I Love You First. In a sit‑down with Rolling Stone, Selena got real about her long musical hiatus after 2020’s Rare. She admitted feeling “very frustrated and kind of confused on where I wanted to go next musically,” and how Benny—ever the supportive partner—helped her find her sound again. “It kind of happened organically,” she said, crediting Blanco’s expertise for reigniting her passion.
Meanwhile, Benny spilled on Hot Ones that Selena made him a bona fide Swiftie—yes, she got him hooked on Taylor Swift’s tunes. Talk about power couple energy! He also revealed they kept the entire album project under wraps until it was ready, proving that secrecy can sometimes brew the best creative magic.
Between toasting traditions, tossing matzah ball jokes, and singing their own hits, Gomez and Blanco showed that blending culture, religion, and pop stardom can be pure, joyful chaos—in the best way possible. They’re engaged (congrats on that December 2024 proposal!), they’re collaborative, and they’re redefining date night one Seder at a time.
Whew, I’m practically vibrating with excitement—my espresso can’t compete with this level of energy! I swear I could chat forever, but I’ll leave you with this: what’s next for these two musical lovebirds? Stay tuned, because I have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about their next move!
