Someone Found Selena Gomez's 'Wizards Of Waverly Place' Audition Tape & It's Too Cute For Words

Selena Gomez has come SO far since she made her TV debut on Barney and Friends in 2002: She's currently the most-followed person on Instagram, a chart-topping artist, and the co-producer of a highly anticipated Netflix series. 

But we can't give that purple dinosaur from our imagination all the credit for propelling Gomez to stardom — that would go to Wizards of Waverly Place, on which Gomez starred from 2007 to 2012.

As Teen Vogue was kind enough to point out, Gomez's audition tape for that Disney Channel sitcom has popped up again thanks to the magic of the internet. Isn't she just adorable?!

(And that PONCHO! Very 2000s.)

Can you believe that doe-eyed 12-year-old's now one of the biggest stars in the game? We're SO proud of her. 😭
