Fall in love with Selena Gomez

From Barney & Friends to the Top

The 24-year old pop star is a Mexican American Latina from Texas who has made it to the top. She went from struggling to survive with her mom to “Barney and Friends” to Disney.

After three albums as Selena Gomez and the Scene and two solo records, Selena became the most popular person on Instagram. She had a sponsorship deal with the Coach fashion house and was the April 2017 cover of American “Vogue.”

Selena is known for her vulnerability. In her “Vogue” article, she talks about going from a packaged Disney kid to just being herself and how liberating that was.

She is not shy about switching from being a power girl to falling apart. One of America’s most famous pop stars occasionally suffers a lack of confidence and self worth, but then who doesn’t.

Selena canceled her last “Revival” tour to check into a psychiatric facility. She plays up her insecurity with the imagery from “Bad Liar,” but it is just a game. Petra Collins’ photo of Selena wearing a hospital “Risk” band was shot when Selena got home from a treatment for Lupus.

Being in her 20s, Selena sings a lot about love. We are a full-contact people, all touch, all the time, and wear our emotions on our sleeves. But touring and celebrity can be a lonely enterprise.

Maybe being brutally honest is the key to her success. Running from something only makes it dog you more. Just ask the President. The only way to conquer something is to turn and face it. Turn your weakness into strength.

Growing up is never easy and the glare of celebrity makes it much harder. While exploring what it means to be a young woman today, Selena is not afraid to celebrate going to church, weekend picnics in the park, or cooking tortillas at home. Selena is a bad liar because in a very modern Latina way, she is a good girl.
