With a staggering 430 million followers in her court, Selena Gomez is no small fish in the sea. Her every move goes under the watchful gaze of her devoted fans. What sets Gomez apart is her innate kindness. This was most evident when she championed empathy and goodwill towards Hailey Bieber, turning the other cheek like a true saint. Not to mention, she lent her voice to the clarion call for better mental health. Surely, the ‘Wolves’ singer is a bona fide icon, blessed with talent and kindness to boot.

Once more, Gomez opened up about her social media hiatus in the midst of the Israel-Palestine turmoil. She advocated for peace and revealed a deeper layer to her break.

Selena Gomez’s heartfelt silence and a call for change

Selena Gomez had gone as quiet as a mouse on social media, leaving her fans hanging in suspense since her last post on October 7th. The air was thick with anticipation for updates from the songstress. However, in a recent Instagram story, she unveiled the cause of her prolonged silence. It turns out that the ongoing horrors of the Israel-Palestine conflict had hit her heart like a ton of bricks. But what really tugged at her heartstrings was her having a baby sister, making her exclaim, “Having a sister, everyday has made me tragically sick”.

The crooner of ‘Lose You to Love Me’ made it crystal clear that the tragic loss of innocent young lives cut her to the core. As she delved into the reasoning behind her hiatus, she declared her unwavering commitment to go to the ends of the earth for the sake of children and the purity of innocent lives. The actress firmly held the belief that merely throwing up hashtags and stories would not be a magic wand to transform the world, leaving her fans in a state of deep despair over her decision to take a step back.

While the singer expressed her concern for the innocent children who are around the age of her younger sister, she also displayed her warmth and worry for her bestie, Taylor Swift. She did so by shedding light on how Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce had taken off like a rocket, and it left her feeling a tad uneasy.

Selena Gomez opens up about Taylor Swift’s love liftoff

Rumors swirled as Gomez expressed her concern over Swift’s whirlwind romance with NFL player Kelce. Gomez believed the relationship was moving at a breakneck speed, a departure from Swift’s usual low-profile love affairs. Swift had previously kept her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn under wraps. So, Gomez found it surprising to see her in public with Kelce’s mother and hand-in-hand with him in front of the paparazzi, all within a month of dating.

Gomez’s concerns extended to the Haim sisters, possibly explaining their absence from a recent girls’ night out with Swift, Blake Lively, Brittany Mahomes, and Sophie Turner. Even Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, also expressed worries about his brother’s newfound fame and the rapid pace of the relationship. Despite the concerns, Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance took off in early September. And the duo continues to give moments for fans to adore them even more.
