On the February 23 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!,<\/em> Selena Gomez <\/strong>faced off against a superfan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to answer trivia questions about herself \u2014 and lost badly. According to Selena, however, there’s one artist who she could’ve<\/em> won a trivia contest on: late Nirvana<\/strong> frontman Kurt Cobain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After the trivia contest, Kimmel asked<\/strong><\/a> Selena, “Who was YOUR Selena Gomez growing up?” She revealed that it was Cobain and explained, “My mom obviously would play all kinds of music for me growing up. I kind of got obsessed and dyed my hair and cut my hair like him. I know a little too much.”<\/p>\n

Selena said she had posters of Cobain on her walls, would “rewatch his interviews” and “watch his performances.” She added, “I have seen his documentary, like, 12 times.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the present day, Selena said she was a bit starstruck meeting Jason Segel<\/strong> at the Emmys because she watches How I Met Your Mother<\/em> every night. Unfortunately, her boyfriend, Benny Blanco<\/strong>,\u00a0embarrassed her in front of Segal by saying, “She falls asleep to you every night!”<\/p>\n

Selena also discussed her new single “Love On,” including the now-famous “steak tartare” line. She\u00a0noted she hates steak tartare in real life but said, “It sang so well!”<\/p>\n
