Selena Gomez is a Today Show Wizard

Selena Gomez casts a spell on the small screen as she chats up the new season of her hit Disney show, Wizards of Waverly Place, on The Today Show in New York City on Monday morning.

When asked by interviewer Al Roker if there’s anything different about this upcoming season compared to last season, the 16-year-old actress/singer said, “This season, we wanted to come back and top ourselves from the first season. A lot of new crazy magic spells are happening. You also see a more real side because at the same time, we want to be relate-able. [My character] Alex goes through the struggle of first date jitters and fights with her best friend.”
