From the supplier: Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla Perez became a media sensation after she was shot dead by her fan club president on Mar. 31, 1995. She was initially dubbed by the media as 'the Tex-Mex Madonna' based on her sexy image and dress. However, it is argued that this sexy image was reconceptualized as information about her conservative attitudes became known to non-tejano audiences, resulting in her being redubbed as the 'Queen of Tejano Music.'
