Selena Gomez, who once considered retiring from music in 2021 but changed her mind, is now contemplating leaving the industry again.
During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the singer and actress shared her inclination towards pursuing acting over music in the future.
Reflecting on her past experiences, she mentioned the enjoyment she found in both music and touring, especially during her time on the TV show "Wizards of Waverly Place."
However, as she ages, Gomez expressed a desire to settle on one pursuit. This revelation was shared during her interview on the SmartLess podcast, as reported by Deadline.
To manage her workload, Selena Gomez revealed that she sought refuge in a mental institute and canceled a tour due to the overwhelming pressure of being a pop star, explaining that work serves as a distraction from challenges.
Despite her considerations to prioritize acting, Gomez hinted at an upcoming album she has been teasing for a while. While acknowledging the possibility of both music and acting, she expressed a desire to take a break, citing exhaustion.
Reflecting on her entry into singing, Gomez explained how Disney's influence played a role, shaping her into a "triple threat."
Initially not aspiring to be a singer, she found joy in storytelling through songs and embraced the opportunity to create an album offered by Disney. Despite acknowledging her singing skills, she values the art of storytelling in her music.
