Selena Gomez Announces Last Album Before Focusing on Acting

Published January 3, 2024

In an unexpected announcement on the Smartless podcast, Selena Gomez has mentioned that her next album may mark the end of her journey as a singer. With this album, she intends to finish her musical endeavors on a high note before dedicating herself fully to her acting career.

Transition from Music to Acting

Having enjoyed considerable success in the music industry with albums like Rare and Revival, Gomez has decided that she's ready for her next adventure, which points towards the silver screen. The artist who once enchanted audiences on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place has shared that her passion for music was rewarding, yet she now seeks to return to her acting roots, as suggested through an interview by ENews.

Music as a Passionate Pursuit

Selena has always seen herself first and foremost as an actress, even though she enjoyed the process of making music. "I do my music because I’m very passionate about it. It's a way to inspire people, but that’s all it is for me," she explained. With music being a significant but not definitive part of her career, she views her upcoming album as a fitting farewell to a beloved chapter in her life.

The Final Album’s Anticipation

Gomez's fans are now looking forward to what is expected to be an emotionally significant final album from the star. Following this, her shift to acting is something she looks forward to, citing a need for something stable to "settle on." Her experience on the hit show Only Murders in the Building, which garnered her two Emmy nominations, demonstrates her potential as a leading actress in Hollywood.

A Versatile Talent

As she prepares to close her musical career, we are reminded of Gomez's versatility and capability to inspire across mediums. Her influence extends beyond music - her acting pursuits, entrepreneurial ventures with Rare Beauty, and commitment to philanthropic efforts showcase a multi-talented individual eager to impact the world in various ways.
