Selena Gomez says she may only have ‘one more album’ left
Selena Gomez says she has “one more album” in her before retiring from music completely.
“I started having a lot of fun with music, and then touring was really fun,” Gomez said in an episode of the “Smartless” podcast, obtained by E! News, scheduled for release on January 7.
“But I was doing my TV show [“Wizards of Waverly Place”] at the same time and I found it really fun so I continued,” she recalls. “But the older I get, the more I think, ‘I wish I could find something to settle on.'”
Continuing, the ‘Only Murders In the Building’ star said: “I feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose to act. I’m going to want to relax because I’m tired .
The multi-headed 31-year-old has released three albums since her debut solo project, “Stars Dance,” in 2013.
The Disney alum’s last album was 2020’s “Rare,” with Gomez starring in several TV shows and films while also making music.
Despite becoming a musical success, Gomez hasn’t toured since her 2016 “Revival” tour, which she canceled midway due to mental health issues related to her lupus diagnosis.

At the time, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer performed 55 concerts before experiencing what her friend called a “psychotic break.”
“At one point she says, ‘I don’t want to be alive right now.’ I don’t want to live,'” Theresa, Gomez’s former a*sistant, said in the singer’s Apple TV+ documentary, “My Mind and Me.”
“And I’m like, ‘Wait, what?'” Theresa remembers. “It was one of those moments where you look into her eyes and there’s nothing there. It was just dark. It’s so scary.
“You’re like, ‘f**k that.’ This must stop. We have to go home.
Gomez was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and sought treatment at a mental health facility following the tour.
Two years later, Gomez began a third treatment following a mental health hiatus.
However, since seeking treatment, she has become a mental health advocate, speaking at a White House mental health forum in May 2022.
