Selena Gomez has been teasing her American Music Awards performance of her single “The Heart Wants What it Wants” and on Sunday, she followed through with a raw and emotional performance.
The song is about her rocky romance with Justin Bieber, which she’s clearly still emotional about. She poured her heart out on stage, even crying towards the end.
MTV News note Gomez stood still in a long, flowing gown for the entire performance on the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live stage, with some beautiful visual effects changing behind her.
During a break towards the end of the song, Gomez mouthed “Thank you Jesus.” She echoed that sentiment in an Instagram post from last night, captioning it “#thankyoujesus.”
At the end, an image of a guy that may or may not have been intended to be Bieber is trying to break through the screen. Gomez then ended the performance by singing “I thought you were the one.”
