The former rival of Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana is growing up and moving farther and farther away from her young Disney star image. On her most recent album, Revival, Selena Gomez offers up urban pop with collaborators like ASAP Rocky and Zedd. Involved in humanitarian actions, in 2009 the singer became the youngest UNICEF ambassador. Now in her early twenties with a successful modelling career already underway, the star of the film Spring Breakers is decidedly following in the footsteps of her idol Britney Spears.
First opening acts: Bahari (19:00 PM) and Alessia Cara (20:00 PM)
During: Festival d'été de Québec
