Street Interviews: Selena Gomez or Hailey Bieber?
DeKALB – As Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber fans battle for the honor of their favored celebrity, the situation is becoming increasingly heated. Among NIU students, the general consensus seems to be an urgency to rally behind Selena, who has remained the unproblematic throughout the growing rivalry, yet been the victim of several petty stabs from her ex-boyfriend’s wife. Other students, however, remain helplessly uneducated on the conflict, myself included, or adamantly against following the drama.
