On a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in which Jennifer Aniston played the role of host in place of DeGeneres and interviewed Gomez, the singer made very clear that her Thursday nights used to be occupied with a rather relatable activity: watching Friends. Who says celebs can't be fangirls, too? Gomez publicly revealed that she's in fact a superfan—at one point screaming to the audience: "Rachel was my life!" Rachel, meaning Rachel Green, Aniston's famed character in Friends.
The 27-year-old went on to share how she got emotional when the season officially ended. And Gomez took her love for Friends to the next level with her latest cut revealed on a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. Her hairstylist, Marissa Marino, dubbed the throwback style "The Rachel."
