Selena: The Series is Netflix’s brand new look at the life of beloved Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla Perez. Selena ruled the Tejano charts in the late ’80s and early ’90s and was poised to take the mainstream pop world by storm when she was tragically murdered by someone she thought was her friend. Her tragic story is only dwarfed by the incredible catalogue of music, performances, and artistry she leaves behind. Selena is a freaking icon and Selena: The Series wants to show fans the human being behind her glamorous stage persona. However, it’s also possible that there are people out there living their dang lives in 2020 who have no idea who Selena was. Now it would be easy for me to drag these youths and/or pop culture neophytes, but I get it! There was a time in my own life where my mother had to explain to me who Karen Carpenter was and why she was so perfect and why it’s so sad she died. So in honor of my mother and her love of Karen Carpenter, I will give you a rundown on the Madonna of Tejano music, the beautiful, the magnificent, and the absolutely iconic Selena Quintanilla Perez. Here’s everything you need to know about the real Selena, including where you can watch her most epic performances online… To quote the great fictional character Kimmy Schmidt, YOU BET YOUR BUTT IT WAS! Selena: The Series is just the latest dramatic adaptation of the late Tejano singer’s rise to fame and tragic end.
