Selena Gomez, has recently been involved in a controversy regarding her latest music video for the song “Love On.” A Palestinian artist, Sarah Bahbah, has accused Selena of copying her unique art style. This news has caught the attention of fans and the art community worldwide.
The Accusation
Sarah Bahbah, an artist known for her distinctive style that combines narrative photography with bold inner dialogue and vivid colors, claims that Selena’s music video closely resembles her own work. Bahbah’s art often explores themes of vulnerability and relationships, and she has a significant following on social media platforms like Instagram.
The controversy began when Bahbah noticed similarities between the “Love On” music video and her own short films, “I Like You” and “Untangled.” She expressed her concerns on Instagram, stating that not only did the video mimic her style, but it was also shot in the same location as her films.
The “Love On” music video features beautiful French vistas, fashionable clothing, and portrays a story of romance. Directed by a French director, the video aims to capture the essence of love and passion. It begins with couples lined up on a staircase, kissing each other passionately, and then transitions to scenes of Gomez in various elegant outfits, singing and dancing.
Past Incidents
This isn’t the first time Selena Gomez has faced such accusations. In 2018, she was accused of plagiarism over her video “Back to You,” which some fans believed had similarities to Bahbah’s work.
The Debate: Inspiration vs. Imitation
The situation has sparked a debate about the fine line between drawing inspiration and committing plagiarism. While artists often inspire each other, the question arises when inspiration becomes imitation, and whether it is fair to the original creators, especially when they are smaller artists or from minority backgrounds.
The Response from Selena Gomez
As of now, Selena Gomez has not publicly responded to the accusations. The silence has left fans and the art community speculating about the legitimacy of the claims and waiting for an official statement from the singer or her team.
