Selena Gomez goes the extra mile as a bridesmaid. For her close friend and cousin, Priscilla DeLeon she flew 1,240 miles (and skipped her boyfriend Justin Bieber's big NBA basketball game) to be there for the all-important dress shopping.

After spending Wednesday through Friday back in Los Angeles (and partly with her Valentine's date Bieber), Gomez was photographed out in Dallas, Texas yesterday. DeLeon's Instagram story confirmed that wedding duties are one of the reasons Gomez is back in her home state:

Gomez also appeared to be doing some work on an unknown project, spending some time at editorial and post-production company Charlie Uniform Tango:

Before she left L.A., she also spent some time in a recording studio, a hint that new music is coming.

On her Instagram story during Coach's fall/winter 2018 Gomez teased that she had several new projects coming. "Know that a lack of action on social media is not a lack of my love," she told her fans then. "I'm working on a lot of stuff and I will love on you guys so soon, I promise. Also, last thing, I might get in trouble for saying this but I'm doing some really, really cool stuff with Coach. It's coming! See, this is why I can't be on social media," she said teasingly to her friend shooting. "I just say everything!"

Gomez already surprised DeLeon and bought her dream wedding dress around the holidays. "When your maid of honor makes your dream dress a reality and surprises you with it!" DeLeon wrote in the December 23rd Instagram.

Last June, Gomez was revealed to be her cousin's maid of honor.

Her cousin got engaged to Jay Cosme in March 2016, and Gomez shared the sweetest, celebratory Instagram then. "We have waited our whole lives for this #whyamIactinglikeigotaring 😝☺️," she wrote.

Bieber remained in Los Angeles this weekend after the two spent Valentine's Day on a very PDA-filled date together in Beverly Hills. (Bieber would not have the warmest welcome in Texas: Some of Gomez's family are reportedly not the biggest fans of Bieber. While it's unclear what DeLeon thinks of Bieber, she was one of Gomez's friends who unfollowed Gomez's mom Mandy Teefey after Gomez's and her public fallout, in part over Teefey's objections to Gomez's reconciliation with Bieber. Neither Gomez nor DeLeon follow Teefey on Instagram right now.)

The Biebs played in the NBA All-Star celebrity game Friday night, though Gomez—en route to Texas—was not there to cheer him on.

She does regularly watch and support him during his near-weekly hockey games at the Los Angeles ice rink. Still, maid of honor duty comes above all.
