At the age of 31, the pop star confidently anticipates producing one more album but admits that exhaustion has prompted her to diminish her professional commitments. “I genuinely believe I have one more album left in me, but beyond that, I’m leaning towards acting,” Gomez disclosed.
She further voiced her ambitions, stating, “I aspire to be more recognized as an actor. Being a full-time singer was never my intention.”

During the same podcast session, she pondered on the strain caused by alternating between music and acting careers, notably affecting her mental well-being. This honest admission has stirred a mix of concern and perplexity among her fans, especially given Gomez’s flourishing music career. Despite not being traditionally considered a vocal virtuoso, her musical savvy is indisputable, as evidenced by her collection of chart-topping hits, including those that have reached the summit of significant music charts, such as the Billboard Hot 100.
Lacking formal singing education, Gomez has nonetheless soared to significant heights as a performer. Her initial spotlight moment was her breakthrough role in Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place,” from 2007 to 2012.
