Selena Gomez, a contemporary triple threat, has seamlessly navigated the realms of international pop stardom, Emmy-nominated acting, and successful entrepreneurship in the beauty industry. However, the songstress might be contemplating a shift away from her singing career in the near future.
Expressing her thoughts on the “Smartless” podcast, Gomez disclosed, “I do feel like I have one more album in me.” As she matures, she finds herself leaning towards the desire to settle into a particular focus, with acting being her preferred avenue. From a young age, Gomez aspired to become a “serious actress,” and her foray into music happened serendipitously when Disney approached her during her stint on the Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” in the late 2000s.

Initially viewing music as a hobby, Gomez embarked on a singing career that unexpectedly flourished. Having released three studio albums since 2013, featuring hits like “Come & Get It,” “Same Old Love,” and “Lose You to Love Me,” she earned Grammy nods, particularly for her 2022 Spanish-language EP “Revelación.” Despite her latest single, “Single Soon,” Gomez is contemplating a potential shift away from her music career.
Beyond her musical endeavors, Gomez shines in acting, currently starring in the acclaimed Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” alongside Martin Short and Steve Martin. Her filmography includes notable works like “Spring Breakers” and “A Rainy Day in New York.” Juggling both music and acting has taken a toll on Gomez, exacerbated by her candid discussion of mental health struggles in her 2022 docuseries, “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.”
While Gomez acknowledges that she isn’t obligated to choose between music and acting, she recognizes an impending decision in her future. Considering her weariness, she shared, “I’m going to want to chill because I’m tired.”
In addition to her multifaceted career, Gomez founded Rare Beauty in 2020, a cosmetics company that she describes as “the biggest gift.” Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rare Beauty quickly gained traction, leaving Gomez immensely proud and grateful for its success.
