Selena Gomez: ‘I’ve Grown Up in Front of Everybody’

Selena Gomez is everywhere these days promoting her new album Revival and that included a stop to TODAY to perform a few of her new songs and some oldies. Unlike Miley Cyrus – who has spent the past two years singly focused on taking a sledgehammer to the image of Hannah Montana – Gomez has taken a more gradual approach to shedding her Disney Channel past. She believed that people are just gossiping things to be worse, making it “more tragic than it really was”. “It was just me being a boss and controlling my own life”. I feel that this album, yes address Gomez’s struggles with Bieber, but it also is very empowering. “I’m in chemotherapy. You’re a**holes.’ I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again”.

And not to blow up her whole spot, but I’m kind of living for this one fan on the left at the beginning of “Good For You”. “Of course I was p**sed about it. There, everybody has it. I was so disappointed, because I never wanted my career to be a tabloid story…” She posed in various tops and a little black dress for the interview wearing little to no makeup. “The way she cares about women is so adamant”. Instead, she’s looking to show her adult self.

“It’s not something where I’m like, let me glorify what I do in the bedroom”.

Gomez announced Monday a new world tour set for 2016, which includes a June 2 date at Prudential Center in Newark. Of course I ended up with my mind damaged.

“I think in general it’s so good that that’s actually becoming something”. However, when she released her own topless album artwork, it was more vulnerable and personal than sexualized.

On “Same Old Love”, a pop song gone gritty, Gomez seems to be shedding the skin of past relationships. I have been a fan of hers for a while and it’s safe to say I still am. We both made mistakes.

Seeing how her fans had spent hours outside waiting to see her live, she shouldn’t have failed to rise to the occasion to do something nice for her supporters.

It’s sad that women so often hate on and compete with each other when we could be so much more powerful working together.
