The 14-song record is Gomez's first major musical release since her 2020 album 'Rare.' While her fans are certainly pleased that the current queen of pop shared the project on social media, they're also expressing frustration with other artists who are not showing support despite the fact Gomez has supported them in the past.
Prior to Swift's glowing endorsement, one popular Gomez fan account posted to X, 'No celebrity supporting Selena Gomez's new album except Becky G. Not Even Taylor Swift.' The post has since been taken down.
Fans are also upset with Gomez's label Interscope Records, saying that it has not properly promoted the project since its March 21 release.
'[Interscope Records] must really love losing money by not promoting one of their biggest artists,' wrote one fan on X.
Ahead of the album's release, Spotify posted a teaser in the form of a one-on-one sitdown between Blanco and Gomez. The 33-minute conversation took listeners behind the writing process of 'I Said I Love You First.'
'We'd get up in the morning and have a conversation. But our conversation was never led going, 'What are we going to write in the album?'' Gomez said.
'I was constantly just writing whatever you said wherever we were,' Blanco added. 'Sometimes, you'd be saying something really important, and I didn't know if you even realized, but I would always open my phone and be like, 'Fuck, that's such a good line for a song.''
