Selena Gomez is sizzling hot as she takes the cover of Vogue magazine's
April issue, available on newsstands on March 28th
Here's what the 24-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:
On deleting Instagram from her phone: "As soon as I became the most followed person on
Instagram, I sort of freaked out. It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and
went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it
was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about. I always end up feeling like ****
when I look at Instagram. Which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit."
On seeking help for anxiety and depression: "You have no idea how incredible it felt to just be
with six girls. Real people who couldn’t give two ****s about who I was, who were fighting for their lives. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it was the best thing I’ve done."
On taking some time off during her Revival World Tour: "Tours are a really lonely place for me.My self-esteem was shot. I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting onstage, or right after leaving the stage. Basically I felt I wasn’t good enough, wasn't capable.
I felt I wasn’t giving my fans anything, and they could see it—which, I think, was a complete distortion. I was so used to performing for kids. At concerts I used to make the entire crowd raise up their pinkies
and make a pinky promise never to allow anybody to make them feel that they weren’t good enough.
Suddenly I have kids smoking and drinking at my shows, people in their 20s, 30s, and I’m looking into their eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t say, ‘Everybody, let’s pinky-promise that you’re beautiful!’ It doesn’t work that way, and I know it because I’m dealing with the same **** they’re dealing with.
What I wanted to say is that life is so stressful, and I get the desire to just escape it. But I wasn’t figuring my own stuff out, so I felt I had no wisdom to share. And so maybe I thought everybody out there was thinking, This is a waste of time."
