Selena Gomez Revival Tour Merchandise

Selena Gomez's latest tour, Revival Tour 2016, kicks off early next month. In order to get fans excited, Gomez has been posted pictures and snapchats. However, an unexpected reveal of the tour came from her merchandise. 

Instead of selling the standard tour t-shirts, the Revival Tour merchandise incorporates more fashion statement pieces. In addition to the typical t-shirts, sports wear will also be sold with temporary tattoos and a children's line. The apparel sold on this tour will more than likely be a hit outside of the tour merch tables.
