The pop sensation was delivering on a request made by the team, which had posted a neon-orange poster providing Gomez with two dates and times in which she could come by.

“They asked!! Couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” she wrote on Instagram to caption her carousel of photos and videos of the trip, which included her signing one lucky fan's forehead.
