Selena Gomez Wore A Barbie Pink Bustier Top On The Red Carpet

After her acclaimed series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend wrapped in 2019, Rachel Bloom began working on new material. But then, well, you know. “The pandemic hits, I give birth, the world goes to sh*t,” Bloom, 36, tells Bustle. “And I’m with my daughter in my office, which is now also her playroom, looking at the lineup of bits for the show and I’m like, ‘This is all moot, this is all stupid.’” She reworked the premise.

The resulting show, written and performed by Bloom and directed by Seth Barrish, is about the temptation of wanting to repress traumatic events while also knowing you need to fold them into your life in order to move forward. And, yes, it still carries Bloom’s signature blend of raunch and pathos: There’s a song about “trees that smell like c*m.”
