Selena Gomez
"To be honest, I think Francia should be getting this award, because she saved my life," Selena said as she accepted Woman of the Year on Thursday.
Back in September Selena Gomez revealed she received a kidney transplant as part of her lupus treatment from her friend Francia Raisa.

She shared this emotional picture and caption on her Instagram page at the time.
The pair have since spoken openly about the surgery on several occasions.
And on Thursday night, Selena shed a tear as she dedicated her Woman of the Year trophy to her at the Billboard Women Of The Year awards.

She told the star-studded crowd from the stage: "To be honest, I think Francia should be getting this award, because she saved my life."
She then choked back tears as she apologised while turning to an equally emotional looking Francia.
She added: "Honestly, I couldn’t be more grateful for the position that I’ve been given in my career from 7 to 14 to now.
"I feel like for me, with my music, I’ve been able to illustrate the things that I want. And I’m reminded by a team of people who believe in me even when I don’t myself, and I couldn’t be luckier."
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Well done to you both, ladies.
