Selena Gomez will be appearing on the cover of Vogue’s April issue,  and she revealed A LOT during a sit-down interview with the fashion magazine.

 “As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out. It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about. I always end up feeling like s–t when I look at Instagram.”

Selena deleted Instagram from her phone and at this moment doesn’t even know the password! Any social media posts are done by her assistant.

 “At concerts I used to make the entire crowd raise up their pinkies and make a pinky promise never to allow anybody to make them feel that they weren’t good enough. Suddenly I have kids smoking and drinking at my shows, people in their 20s, 30s, and I’m looking into their eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t say, ‘Everybody, let’s pinky-promise that you’re beautiful!’ It doesn’t work that way, and I know it because I’m dealing with the same s–t they’re dealing with.”

Selena Gomez went for therapy in 2016, and speaks passionately about how it helped her.

“You have no idea how incredible it felt to just be with six girls, real people who couldn’t give two s–ts about who I was, who were fighting for their lives. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it was the best thing I’ve done.”

When asked about her romance with The Weeknd, she was polite, but decisive: “Oh, Mylanta! Look, I love what I do, and I’m aware of how lucky I am, but—how can I say this without sounding weird? I just really can’t wait for people to forget about me.”

 

Quite the perspective and newfound confidence for the once young Disney star!

Do her comments speak to you?
