Notice it expired in 1998. So, sad that she never got to live her life to the fullest. She was only 23 years young when she was killed.

Selena y Los Dinos recorded their Live Album at the Memorial Coliseum in Corpus Christi, Texas in front of 3,000+ fans! The concert was free to the public which she later won a Grammy for in 1994 for Best Mexican-American Album! 💜

Selena talks about her reaction to receiving her second Grammy nomination, & reflecting on how it felt just to be recognized again! ⭐️

Selena also discussed what went through her mind when she won her first Grammy (at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards for Live!) & being in the audience among top musical names! ⭐️

Paul Rivera passed away on June 12, 2020. He served as a veteran law enforcement officer, & he was also the lead negotiatior in the 9.5 hour standoff with Selena’s killer after she barricaded herself in her nephew's red Chevy.

They are both buried at Seaside Memorial Park located at 4357 Ocean Blvd in Corpus Christi, Texas.

May they both rest in peace. 🤍

These photos have been circulating the internet for so many years yet, there's still fans who feel like this is not Selena or she didn't wear prescription glasses. Truth be told she did, she also wore contacts. It was hereditary, her parents & her siblings all wore/wear reading glasses.

"Nobody You Know" was Selena’s second & final tour bus. After her passing in 1995, her father Abraham Quintanilla sold the vehicle. Today, the bus sits unused in a vacant lot in South Texas, rather than being on display in a museum.

Selena had 2 busses, the first one was named "Big Bertha", which was destroyed by her father Mr. Quintanilla, this was her 2nd & final tour bus, she named it "Nobody You Know"! ⭐️

Mr Q sold Selena's final touring bus shortly after she passed, her bus is located in South Texas!

The bus currently at the museum is a newer Prevost model belongs to her brother AB Quintanilla!

Out of respect, I will not be sharing the location, so please don't ask.

Seeing how some people vandalized her statue with carved names & left graffiti near her gravesite, despite her family explicitly asking people not too! I’m honestly afraid of what would happen to this bus if the location got out to everyone.

⭐️ Personally, I think it belongs in her museum! ⭐️

This book is probably one of most accurate things we will ever get about Selena, not only as an artist but, as a beautiful person!

It shows how Chris saw Selena from his point of view, telling the truth 100% Chris did an absolute beautiful job writing this book, sharing his story, what his life was like with Selena! It's such an amazing book, I highly recommend it!

⭐️ Have you read it, & which edition do you have? ⭐️

Whoever took Selena’s hat needs to return it. It’s hard to fathom how someone could hold onto such a precious piece of history without their conscience getting the best of them.

Ariana Grande also plans to take a step back from public visibility after the end of her tour following intensified public scrutiny.
