Selena Gomez Says She Has ‘One More Album’ in Her: ‘I’m Tired’
Selena Gomez opens up about her career and goals in a new interview, revealing her plans to focus more on acting and slowing down on making music.
Selena Gomez's Shift from Music to Acting
In a recent interview on the SmartLess podcast, Selena Gomez shared her plans to shift her focus from making music to acting. The 31-year-old actress and singer expressed that while she has one more album left in her, she would probably choose acting as her main passion.
Gomez confessed, 'I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else.' Despite not considering herself the best singer, Gomez emphasized her love for storytelling and creating music.
She admitted, 'I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs.' This decision marks a new chapter in Gomez's artistic journey and an opportunity for her to explore her passion for acting further.
The Balancing Act of Singing and Acting
Selena Gomez opened up about the challenge of juggling both her singing and acting careers. During the podcast interview, she shared how her music career unexpectedly took off while she was still filming her TV show, Wizards of Waverly Place.
Gomez revealed, 'I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun. But I was doing my TV show at the same time and I just found it really fun, so I just kept going.' However, as she has gotten older, Gomez has realized the importance of finding something to settle on.
She explained, 'But the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on.' This shift in perspective highlights Gomez's desire for stability and a deeper focus on her acting career.
Overcoming Mental Health Struggles
Selena Gomez also opened up about the mental health struggles she faced as a result of overworking. She shared that she had to cancel one of her tours and seek help at a mental institute.
Gomez revealed, 'It just got to me because I love working and it distracts me from bad things.' These challenges served as a turning point for Gomez, prompting her to prioritize her well-being and find a balance between her career and personal life.
By sharing her experiences, Gomez aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and self-care, encouraging others to prioritize their own well-being as well.
