Is Selena Gomez Really Ending Her Music Career? She Says…

As I delve into this delightful collection of images that showcase the blossoming love between these two musical powerhouses, I can’t help but feel like I’m witnessing a modern-day fairy tale unfold right before my eyes.

Who says you can’t close a chapter of your life?

Instead of Selena Gomez, who openly spoke about possibly retiring from her music profession, it’s worth noting that the 32-year-old has disclosed a shift in focus towards acting. In essence, music might become secondary for her in the near future.

During her interview with Saoirse Ronan in the Variety Actors on Actors series, Selena clarified that she cherishes storytelling and her music career are distinct entities. She added that this separation might not be permanent professionally, but it is for now.

Selena noted that music will always be a constant, thanks for her boyfriend, producer Benny Blanco.

She mentioned that music will be a constant part of her life as her partner is a musician, and she enjoys singing, composing, and taking time for it as a hobby.

Emilia Pérez, when discussing the creation of music, noted that it’s a deeply personal process for her as opposed to assuming a role and becoming someone else when she plays a character.

She noted that it can feel somewhat exposed when sharing oneself compared to getting lost in a character, and she admitted that her talent likely lies in acting.

She added, “However, what I’m particularly proud of in music is the ability to narrate a tale – my preferred songs tend to be ballads, as they are quite open and sincere.

The former Disney channel star debuted her first single back in 2008. Throughout her music journey, the actress known for “Wizards of Waverly Place” has put out three studio albums, such as “Rare” released in 2020, along with a string of successful singles.

Following more than a decade in the music and acting industry, Selena feels she might have evolved beyond the role of a popstar.

She expressed that she may have grown too old for the pop-star lifestyle,” she shared. “In truth, I’m incredibly content with where I am now in life, as this phase feels more like the start than an end.

Meanwhile, the actress from “Only Murders in the Building” has momentarily halted her music career, but she’s amplifying the praise that’s been pouring in following her recent performances. Selena Gomez received two Golden Globe nominations for her roles in “Only Murders in the Building” and as Emilia Pérez.

Following the announcement of nominations, Selena showcased her “Only Murders” family in one post, and her initial film nomination for a Golden Globe in another.

next to a video of Selena in tears, she posted on her December 9 Instagram Story, “I’m at a loss for words… I’m incredibly proud of @ZoeSaldana and I’m deeply appreciative and humbled @goldenglobes.
