Selena Gomez Attends High School Volleyball Game Upon Request: ‘They Asked!! Couldn’t Help It’

Selena Gomez is fulfilling her fans’ wishes — all they have to do is ask!

The Just the murders in the building star, 32, shared on Instagram on Saturday, August 31, that she attended a recent high school volleyball game in Telluride. She was in town in Colorado for the 2024 Telluride Film Festival promoting her film Emilia Pérez — and she couldn’t say no after fans put up a sign asking her to attend.

“They asked!! I couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” Gomez captioned the post.

The first photo in the set was a bright orange note pinned to a bulletin board and addressed to the “Single Soon” singer. “Selena Gomez please sing the national anthem @ one of the [our] home games,” the message read. It was decorated with hearts and included the coach’s email.
