Refuting the notion of in-person shows to promote his joint album with Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco confirmed that he has no plans to perform in support of I Said I Love You First, his collaborative collection with his fiancée.
When asked if he and Gomez would be doing any live shows together, during a recent appearance on the Hot Hits with Nic & Loren podcast Blanco answered “That’s like my worst nightmare.” “Doing live shows… like anytime I had to do SNL (Saturday Night Live) or like AMAs (American Music Awards) I’m always just like, ‘When’s it over? When’s it over?'” “I just want to be home on my couch.”
After co-host Loren Barry suggested that Selena could perform live while the 37-year old producer sat beside her on a couch, Benny replied, “Honestly, not a bad ideas guys,” and adding to the idea, co-host Nic Kelly said, “Selena and Benny on a couch tour, coming to a city near you,” to which Benny responded dryly, “Can’t wait.”
Following the LP release, the now 32-year old Selena thanked her fiancé on Instagram for being her “personal journal” while working on the record
“Benny, thank you for being my own personal journal throughout this process,” she wrote at the time. “These songs represent our past, present and future… something I can’t wait to experience with you from now until forever. Thank you for pouring your unconditional love into creating this project with me.”
