Since concluding her last tour eight years ago, Gomez has significantly impacted the entertainment realm. Her acting skills have brought her critical acclaim, including a Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in “Emilia Pérez.” Currently, she is engaged in the production of the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” and is set to star in a biopic about singer Linda Ronstadt. Amidst her flourishing acting career, Gomez has put her music projects on a lower priority, as she manages the complexities of mental health.

Post-tour, Gomez embarked on a three-year journey towards recovery, marked by hospitalizations and intensive therapy. Despite these obstacles, she triumphantly returned to the music scene with her Spanish language LP, “Revelación,” in March 2021, which was met with critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination. Nonetheless, the future of her music career remains in limbo.

In August 2023, the release of “Single Soon,” produced by Benny Blanco, introduced more uncertainty about her musical pursuits. On the “SmartLess” podcast, Gomez hinted that while she might have one more album left in her, her preference leans toward acting. The cumulative exhaustion from enduring years of mental health battles has left Gomez desiring a break for rest and introspection.
As Gomez deliberates on her forthcoming career path, her openness about her personal trials offers hope to others facing similar battles. Although another tour’s prospect is uncertain, Gomez’s resilience and commitment continue to inspire admirers worldwide.
