Selena Gómez is already working on releasing her next album, her first since 2020's Rare. Over the past few months, Gómez has been dropping subtle hints about what fans can expect; However, it seems that music is no longer a priority for the actress and singer, who began her successful career at Disney Channel.
During an unreleased episode of the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will ArnettGómez spoke about finding a niche in the entertainment industry that she could “populate,” given her experience as an actress, singer and her role as CEO of her cosmetics line Rare Beauty. Selena confessed to the hosts that she feels like she has “one more album” in her, but ultimately her true passion is acting, admitting that she is “tired” of the music industry.
“I'll want to relax because I'm tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never actually planned on being 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, actually I never had any intention of becoming a full-time singer, but apparently that hobby turned into something else,” said Selena Gómez (X/@billboard)
But how did a teenage girl's hobby (in this case, music) turn into a six-figure earning product? Selena said: “I started to enjoy music a lot and touring was a lot of fun. But at the same time I was filming my TV series and I thought it was really fun, so I continued. But The older I get, the more I want to find something to settle down into.“.
Of course, her arrival at Disney was crucial for Selena to become the most complete artist possible, realizing her full potential and with it a tremendous amount of capital.

“You could say that Disney is a machine and in a way forced me to be able to sing so I could sing the theme (of a show). “They know how to lock someone up and turn them into a triple threat.”
Although at first it seemed like Selena would fulfill every teenager's dream, the truth is that her life as an actress and pop star caused her several mental health problems and even landed her in a psychiatric hospital.
“I went to a mental institution and canceled one of my tours. “It just touched me because I love the work and it takes my mind off the bad things.”
