Uhm, really?

Selena Gomez premiered earlier on Wednesday the official music video for “Bad Liar” on VEVO, but, after a first full watch, I wouldn’t mind at all if she deleted this and made us forget about its existence.

I have no hesitation when I say this one of the worst, if not the worst, music videos from Selena Gomez ever. Like, what the hell? She already had the concept NAILED in that Spotify “exclusive video” (very hoy, very sexy, very risqué). I just thought she would elaborate on that same treatment in this Jesse Peretz-directed newly-premiered “film”. But hell to the no, Selena decided to come up with something new, but something so “MEH” (capital letters needed) and a little bit embarrassing too.

The official “Bad Liar” music video sees Selena Gomez bringing her acting skills back (one would think she’d much better nowadays but it turns out it’s the opposite), portraying four different roles: the principal of a high school, the wife of the principal, the teenager daughter of the principal and the housewife, and the basketball coach at the high school.

What’s the storyline? Selena, the daughter, is a lesbian who is in love with the basketball coach, but so is her dad, the high school principal. The two will get embroiled in a creepy “battle” of who can stalk the coach the most. Meanwhile, the principal’s wife, and Selena’s mother, will act very preoccupied for she knows something is troubling her dear daughter. Little does she knows her daughter is a “Bad Liar”, and she holds a gigantic secret: she likes girls.

The acting: So bad. If this were an audition tape, I wouldn’t cast Selena for anything.

The plot: It was Selena’s idea and it got executed because she is a pop star and she takes the decisions these days. But a what poor decision this was. The plot in its self was “cute”, but it was so not 2017 Selena Gomez music video material.

PS: Did anybody else get “13 Reasons Why” vibes from the first minute or so of the music video when Selena was wandering throughout the school? I really thought for a second she was about to do a “13 Reasons Why” tribute. Now THAT would’ve been more exciting.
