Selena Gomez is ready to take the stage with Taylor Swift…

The 23-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress will reportedly serve as a special guest on her best friend’s 1989 tour, according to the U.K.’s Capital-FM station.

Capital posted a tweet on Sunday (August 16) after confirming that they were talking with Gomez:

“It’s official @selenagomez WILL be joining @taylorswift13 on stage as a guest!! She just announced it!! #excited @thisismax x,” read the tweet.

Reps for Swift and Gomez did not respond to a request from Billboard for comment, but the pairing makes sense: Gomez is featured in Swift’s tour videos that play in the stadiums during set breaks, and the former Disney star has a new single, “Good For You” featuring A$AP Rocky, that Swift has professed to adoring. Additionally, Gomez has a co-starring role in Swift’s “Bad Blood” video.

“Good For You” moves up to No. 11 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart after debuting at No. 9.

Following a two-night stint at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. beginning on Monday (Aug. 17), Swift’s 1989 trek will touch down at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for five consecutive nights, beginning on Aug. 21.

Swift’s recent special guests included Fifth Harmony, for a rousing rendition of the all-girl group’s “Worth It.”

Kirstie Maldonado has one million to celebrate…

The 22-year-old half-Mexican/part-Spanish singer and her Pentatonix band mates’ holiday album That’s Christmas To Me has surpassed 1 million in total sales in the week ending December 21.

With another 203,000 sold, its cumulative total now stands at 1.02 million, landing Pentatonix in special company.

That’s Christmas To Me, released through RCA Records, is only the fourth album to sell a million copies in the U.S. in 2014, following the Frozen soundtrack (3.46 million), Taylor Swift’s 1989 (3.34 million) and Sam Smith’s In the Lonely Hour (1.13 million).

That’s Christmas To Me continues to be the a cappella group’s best selling studio effort, well ahead of PTXmas, which has moved 356,000.

Additionally, That’s Christmas To Me is the first holiday album to sell a million copies in a calendar year since 2011, when both Michael Buble’s Christmas and Justin Bieber’s Under the Mistletoe managed the feat (with 2.45 million and 1.25 million, respectively).
