Selena Gomez Talks Taylor Swift, Justin, and Giving Back in Glamour
Previous 1 / 5 NextOn her UNICEF charity work: "I went to Ghana with my mum and my stepdad for UNICEF; that entire trip was life-changing. These kids want an education so badly. I mean, I hated homework, and they want it; it's amazing. I also participated in the Global Poverty Project's Live Below the Line campaign, where I lived on $1.50 a day for a week such a cool experience." On not letting negativity affect her: "If I had let all of the negative stuff affect me, I don't think I would be satisfied with the person I am now. My mum always told me, Just turn the other cheek and keep moving forward. That's something I've always done, and now I look back and I have no regrets." On keeping in touch with Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber: "I actually did talk to Taylor last week, and we were like, 'I don't even remember the last time I saw you,' which is really unfortunate. But if it gets too dire, I fly to Taylor, or I fly to Justin."
