Selena Gomez is successful as a singer and actress. Now a decision has to be made – and with it what will probably be their last album.
“I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun. But I was doing my TV series at the same time [“Wizards of Waverly Place”, 2007-2012] and I thought it was really funny so I just kept going, but the older I get the more I want to find something to focus on,” she explained in the podcast, according to Deadline.
And the “Only Murders in the Building” star (2021-present) added that the focus will probably be on an acting career: “I feel like I still have an album in me, but I would probably go for the one choose acting.” After all, Gomez indirectly announced a final album.
Disney wanted her to sing too
Gomez recalled that she got into singing after landing the lead role in her Disney Channel sitcom “Wizards of Waverly Place.” “Disney is, it’s safe to say, a machine and in some ways required me to be able to sing in order to do the theme song [einer Serie] can sing. They know how to package someone and turn them into a triple threat,” she said.
After recording the theme song for “Wizards,” Disney asked Gomez if she would like to record an album that she “thought would be fun.” She added: “I wanted to be an actress, I never really planned on being a full-time singer, but that hobby turned into something more.”
Gomez is enjoying great success with her acting career. Her role in the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” earned her two Golden Globe nominations in 2023 and 2024 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
