Selena Gomez is a fixture of the pop culture landscape.
It was there where her story began, far away from the glamorous hills of Hollywood.
So what was Gomez’s childhood like?
Is she the progeny of Hollywood elites or did she start out as just a regular girl?
And what along the way has taught her the most about her life, herself, and her dreams?
This is the stunning transformation of Selena Gomez.
“I definitely didn’t appreciate it when I was little,” she confessed in an interview withGlamour.
“I learned everything from that show,” she revealed in an interview withCBS News.
“So it’s such a wonderful memory to me.
“I worked with Disney for four years,” she recalled in an interview withVogue.
“It’s a very controlled machine.
I wish I was there back then.”
“I wanted to get his attention, even though maybe it was too much.
So I just said, ‘Ask me anything you want.'”
“He asked me, ‘Have you ever dealt with anything like this?’
And I said, ‘I have lupus.
I was in the ICU for two and a half weeks.
I was in this exact same room,'” she continued.
“And it was the first time that he looked at me.”
Gomezwent public about her diagnosisin 2015, hoping that sharing her story would raise awareness about the disease.
“Every mother and daughter has disagreements,” Teefey explained in an interview withGossip Cop.
“We never expected to manage her her whole life.
We lost family time because the only time we saw her, we talked business.”
“it’s possible for you to hear it in my voice.
you might hear it when it’s inauthentic.”
“This whole record is extremely intimate,” she continued.
“I did executive produce it.
Well done, Selena!
“Tours are a really lonely place for me,” she revealed in an interview withVogue.
I wasdepressed,anxious.
I started to have panic attacks right before getting onstage, or right after leaving the stage.
Basically I felt I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t capable.”
Gomez spent 90 days in treatment without her cell phone, just focusing on getting better and healing herself.
“You have no idea how incredible it felt to just be with six girls,” she continued.
As it turns out, there was a very good reason for that.
“It was what I needed to do for my overall health.”
Certainly getting an organ transplant warrants lots and lots of rest!
“She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
I am incredibly blessed.”
Gomez also thanked her family and her medical team in the post.
“I’m 25.
I’m not 18, or 19, or 20.
I cherish people who have really impacted my life,” she explained in an interview withBillboard.
“So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn’t right.
But that doesn’t mean caring for someone ever goes away.”
The rekindling of their famous relationship was on the heels of the dissolution ofGomez’s relationship with The Weeknd.
But Gomez insists that their breakup was amicable.
“I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life.
Bieber and Gomezsplita short time later, and Bieber latermarriedHailey Baldwin.
She’s killing it, and she is proud of everything she has done.”
“So there is absolutely zero judgment on my end,” she continued.
I don’t have perfect abs, but I feel like I’m wonderfully made.”
“I’m going back to simplicity.
That’s always who I’ve been.”
Rather, it was a conscious decision to accept herself in the moment.
“It’s me saying, ‘I’m exactly where I am.
And I’m so happy I’m in this place.’
It’s a lot of self-discovery.”
The show hasn’t been withoutcontroversy, which Gomez is aware of.
But she believes that’s because13 Reasons Whydeals with content that’s not easy to discuss.
“That stuff is uncomfortable for people to talk about,” she continued.
And that’s for a reason.
“It had become so consuming to me.
It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to.”
To that end, Gomez decided totake a step back from social mediain order to reorient herself.
“I always end up feeling like s**t when I look at Instagram.
Which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit.”
Way to take care of yourself, Selena!
“It’s very rare to trust anyone.”
Honestly, that’s a beautiful thing.
In 2019, Selena Gomez finally hit No.
“This song is so dear to my heart,” shewrotein a post on her Instagram page.
I love you deeply and thank you so much for listening."
Only Gomez knows for sure what the song is about, but we share the suspicions of Selenators.
