Selena Gomez, the multi-talented singer-actress, is at a crossroads in her musical career, contemplating the possibility of retiring from the industry. In an exclusive interview featured on the April cover of Vogue, the 28-year-old entertainer opened up about her struggles and the internal questioning that has led her to consider stepping away from music.
Reflecting on Challenges and Frustrations
Gomez candidly shared the challenges she faces in an industry where she feels her musical contributions might not always be taken seriously. Expressing her inner turmoil, she remarked, “It’s hard to keep doing music when people don’t necessarily take you seriously. I’ve had moments where I’ve been like, ‘What’s the point? Why do I keep doing this?'”
Despite achieving considerable success in her music career, including chart-topping hits, Gomez revealed a lingering sense of inadequacy. Even her critically acclaimed single “Lose You To Love Me,” which secured the top spot on the Billboard charts, left her feeling that it wasn’t enough for some listeners.
A Final Musical Endeavor
With a sense of resolve, Gomez stated, “I think the next time I do an album it’ll be different. I want to give it one last try before I maybe retire from music.” The singer acknowledged the unwavering support from her fanbase but emphasized the need for a shift in her musical approach and expression.
Exploring New Avenues
Gomez’s potential exit from the music scene doesn’t mark the end of her journey in the entertainment industry. Rather, it signals a shift in focus. In the Vogue interview, she expressed her desire to delve deeper into acting and production, giving herself “a real shot at acting.”
“I haven’t even touched the surface of what I want to do. The parts that I want are the ones I need help with. I can’t wait for the moment when a director can see that I’m capable of doing something that no one’s ever seen,” Gomez shared.
A Journey Beyond Music
Selena Gomez, known for her versatility as both a musician and actress, has released three solo albums since her debut in 2009. Her artistic journey includes not only musical achievements but also a successful career in television and film, with notable roles in “Wizards Of Waverly Place” and “Spring Breakers.”
While the uncertainty lingers about the future of Gomez’s music career, her fans eagerly anticipate the evolution of her artistic endeavors, both on and off the stage. The prospect of Gomez exploring new horizons in acting and production opens doors to fresh possibilities, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of this accomplished artist.
As Gomez contemplates this potential shift, the entertainment industry awaits the next chapter in her remarkable career, embracing the multifaceted talent that has captivated audiences worldwide.
