Selena Gómez is already working on the release of her next album, her first since 2020’s Rare. In recent months, Gómez has been dropping subtle hints regarding what fans can expect; However, it seems that music is ceasing to be a priority for the actress and singer who began her successful career on the Disney Channel.

During an unreleased episode of the Smartless podcast, with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, Gómez spoke regarding finding a niche within entertainment to “settle,” considering her experience in acting, singing and her role as CEO of her line of cosmetics, Rare Beauty. Selena confessed to the hosts that she feels like she has “one more album” inside her, but at the end of the day, what she is really passionate regarding is her performance, confessing that she is “tired” of the music industry.

“I’m going to want to relax because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended to be a full-time singer, but apparently that hobby turned into something else. “I don’t think I’m the best singer, but I know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs.”

“I wanted to be an actress, in reality I never had the intention of being a full-time singer, but apparently that hobby became something else,” said Selena Gómez (X/@billboard)

But how did a teenage girl’s hobby (in this case music) become a six-figure earning product? This is how Selena narrated it: “I started to have a lot of fun with music and the tours were a lot of fun. But at the same time I was doing my TV series and I thought it was really fun, so I kept going. But the older I get, the more I would like to find something to settle down.”

Of course, her arrival at Disney was key for Selena to become the most complete artist possible in order to realize her full potential, and with this, an enormous amount of capital.

“Disney is, you can say, a machine and, in a way, it forcibly demanded that I know how to sing so that I might sing the theme (of a show). “They know how to package someone up and turn them into a triple threat.”

Although, at first it seemed that Selena was fulfilling the dream of any teenager, the truth is that her life as an actress and pop star caused her several mental problems, even taking her to a psychiatric hospital.

“I went to a mental institution and canceled one of my tours. “It just affected me because I love working and it distracts me from the bad things.”
