In the snap, Gomez was seen sitting on the mustard-colored couch. She was clad in a floral dress with a white base and puffy sleeves. Its neckline dipped low but was made lower by the glowing heart-shaped pin attached to her garment. The piece of clothing appeared to be long, and she looked elegant in it.

The "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress had her brunette locks styled in loose waves with a center part and adorned with flowers, which made her look even more enthralling.

Singing In Spanish

In a recent interview, Gomez, who is of Mexican heritage, opened up about Revelación. Before recording songs, she did an hour with a Spanish coach and an hour with a vocal coach, as per the magazine. While she was fluent in the language as a child, she lost the skill when she went to school.

"The project is really an homage to my heritage,” Gomez told Vogue. “It’s easier for me to sing in Spanish than to speak it."

She added, "A lot of my fan base is Latin, and I’ve been telling them this album was going to happen for years. But the fact that it’s coming out during this specific time is really cool."
