When Selena died in the series I cried so much and then when she took the picture of Selena on her last concert it broke me:(

[@rahstara]

I didn't know until now that picture was taken at her last concert. ☹

[@uglywrld7068]

That killed me 🖤💔

[@amywhite9972]

The picture that Suzette took of Selena in her white pearl bustier and white pants was taken at Selena's 1994 Huston Astrodome concert. In February of 1994. Not her "last concert." The "last concert" as they call it was the February 1995 Huston Astrodome concert where she wore her famous burgundy (purple) outfit. Her Famous "last concert" wasn't actually her last actual concert anyway though. Her final appearance where she performed was only days before her death. She wore a beautiful hunter green shorts, bustier and a long jacket with tails. We all lost out though because the night of her death she was to perform. She was going to wear a gorgeous red leather number. I've only ever saw it on a hanger but she would have looked amazing in it.. 😢

[@angelicad.barreto]

I literally just finished watching the show on Netflix ... When I was a kid I grew up listening to Selena, and I remember saying "one day I'm gonna go to her concert and I will meet her" Back then I didn't know of her death. I thought she was alive because everyone around me acted as if she still was. I was born in 1997 and I was around 4 or 5 y/o when I started my interest in music. This just shows that real artists live forever. I'm soon to turn 24 y/o and I still listen to her and people still recognize her and talk about her all around the world. She will never die.

[@dianajimenez9635]

I was also born in 97 and I was the same way it was my dream to go to her concert but sadly she already passed. I still listen to her music and sing and dance to it though.

[@carryn6237]

This is such a pure and beautiful comment for real ❤

[@MarianelaVlogs]

Noemi had the best performance in this series. She was my favorite character! The scene where she was with Selena and Marcela having lunch, the day before Selena's passing...WOW! I do see Suzette in Noemi!

[@GDLAPROD]

I really appreciate how they had many shots of christian performing but from suzette's pov. I remember an old interview where she explains how hard it was for her to listen to some of her music bc she could hear selena taking a deep breathe in the songs. That triggered memories for her when she would watch her sister take deep breaths when she would sing. keep in mind her view was always the back side of selena.

[@greg.pridgen85]

I died when Suzette said, "I am a plus size girl aka Fluffy".
