Among the guests who join them on the beefed-up LP, according to Gomez, are GloRilla, Cigarettes After Sex and DJ Sliink. Gomez's announcement included a photo of the original keyhole album cover as well as a candid, casual Polaroid of the two chilling on a couch. Gomez also teased that the video for the song 'Talk' will drop on Thursday night (May 1), encouraging fans to 'pick out your prom outfit.'
Last week, Blanco posted a video on Instagram of the couple going to the mall to get their prom pics taken after revealing that Gomez never got to go to her prom. The video shows Gomez getting ready in a purple ballgown and planting a kiss on her fiancé as they do a classic walk-down-the-stairs dress reveal. In the limo ride to the mall, Blanco excitedly leans out the window of their stretch limo and tells the driver in the lane next to him: 'We're going to prom!'
At press time the full track list for the expanded album had not yet been announced, though GlorRilla was featured in a spoken word bit at the end of the original album track 'Cowboy.' In March, I Said I Love You First debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Among the guests on the first version were Gracie Abrams on 'Call Me When You Break Up,' Charli XCX on 'Bluest Flame,' The Marías on 'Ojos Tristes' and Tainy and J Balvin on 'I Can't Get Enough.'

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift Seen in Deep Conversation at Dinner in NYC
On Saturday night, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez reunited in New York City for dinner at Monkey Bar, as seen in photos shared by gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi. The pop stars appeared to be unaccompanied. Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is reportedly in Kansas City for the annual Big Slick charity live show, raising money for pediatric cancer research. Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, was not on the scene, but he did post on Friday about missing her, so he may be away. In the snapshot, the friends are in deep conversation and seated in a booth. Swift appears to be reacting in shock or surprise to something Gomez is saying. The Eras Tour star is wearing a black tank top lined with silver sequins, and the Only Murders in the Building actress has on a dark scoop-neck shirt under what appears to be a jacket with wide lapels. Gomez has her hair up in a sleek bun and is wearing small gold hoops. This was a big week for Swift, who just announced she has purchased the rights to her master recordings after a number of years battling to get them back from first Scooter Braun and Big Machine Records and then Shamrock Capital. In a letter to fans, she wrote, 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' After Swift posted the news on Instagram, Gomez shared it in her Stories, writing, 'Yes you did that Tay! So proud.' Before regaining her masters, Swift had been re-recording her albums and fans were anticipating the next (Taylor's Version) release, expecting Reputation. Swift clarified that she has actually not gotten far with with re-recording the 2017 album. 'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' Swift wrote in her letter. 'The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it. All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposefully misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief.' Swift continued, 'To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first six that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it. Not the music or photos or videos. So, I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you're into the idea) for unreleased vault tracks from that album to hatch.'
