“One thing about Christina and her family is that she holds her faith so closely to her. I think it’s not about a religion and it’s not about good deeds,” Selena said on stage, a moment captured by fans on Instagram. ”I think she just had faith and I don’t really understand how this really happened, but I would like to dedicate this song to her.”
