Selena Gomez is reflecting on her career and wanting to focus on acting while hinting that her next album — the follow-up to 2020’s “Rare” — might be her last.
“I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun,” Gomez, 31, shared on the podcast episode, which is available now for Wonder+ subscribers. “But I was doing my TV show [Wizards of Waverly Place] at the same time and I just found it really fun so I just kept going. But the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, ‘I would like to find something to just settle on.’
“I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting,” she added.
While Smartless hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes noted that Gomez doesn’t have to pick one career, which also includes her successful cosmetics line Rare Beauty, the Only Murders in the Building star said she’s “going to want to chill because I’m tired.”
Gomez has released four solo albums: Stars Dance (2013), Revival (2015), Rare (2020), and Revelación (2021). She also recorded three albums with Selena Gomez and the Scene, which were released in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Meanwhile, Gomez has been acting since she was a child when she appeared on Barney & Friends. Years later, she became a household name thanks to Disney Channel, specifically her role breakout role on Wizards of Waverly Place, which aired from 2007 to 2012.
