Have you watched Selena Gomez's video for "Back to You" yet? Because it's great!
But also, it MIGHT look pretty familiar if you're a fan of popular artist Sarah Bahbah. You've probably seen Bahbah's work all over Instagram, but she's well-known for her super colorful photos (sometimes featuring celebs!) that are overlaid with captions-and Selena's video is erm...pretty similar in aesthetic.
Here's some of Bahbah's work:

...Others are coming to Selena's defense:
Hey, @sarahbahbah , I think we all know you didn’t invent subtitles. Nevertheless, Selena did it first 2011 pic.twitter.com/9RsoqQZJEt

Sarah Bahbah didn’t invent caption on pictures?!?! If you agree with that you never had tumblr when you were like 12-13...

Meanwhile, Bahbah took it to Instagram Stories and made it pretty clear how she feels:
