The snap has sparked a few fan theories that her dad, who died in 2009, is in fact alive and well.

According to The Sun, some fans have suggested that the darkened figure in the backseat of the car is Michael Jackson.

There's even an online video that tries to prove it.

The video has had more than 500,000 views and is two minutes long. It shows the screen shots of the selfie and also zooms in on the mysterious person in the back seat.
