Selena Gomez says next album could be her last

American pop star Selena Gomez says she is brewing an album, but it could be her last. The Disney alum got candid about her priorities when it comes to acting and singing and shared how she would like to focus on one avenue and settle down.

While she is ready to let her music career take a backseat, Gomez conveyed her desire to work on one more album. Above all, the actress expressed her exhaustion from the spotlight and is in dire need of a break from it all.

Selena Gomez, 31, is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. From acting to singing and even building her make-up brand, she’s done it all. But it’s time the Grammy-nominated singer gave herself a break. Gomez appeared on the Smartless podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett earlier this year and opened up about her plans for her music career.

Following her success with Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, Gomez is setting her priorities straight. Her packed schedule has let her music career get sidelined but she is okay with it. But before she finally retires from the music industry, the Rare Beauty founder insinuated, “I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting.”

After all these years of juggling both her acting and music careers, Gomez explained she loved doing it because “it distracts me from bad things.” However, the intense workload often got to her mental health, once even landing her in a mental institute. She hinted, “The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on.”

When asked why not continue to do both, the Wizards of Waverly Place star agreed that while it’s possible, she is planning to “chill because I’m tired.”
