Selena has openly talked about mental health struggles in the past, and in 2017 explained what drove her to briefly quit the social media platform Instagram.
‘As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out,’ Selena told Vogue at the time, when talking about the pressure she found herself under.
‘It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to,’ she added.
‘I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about. I always end up feeling like sh*t when I look at Instagram. Which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit.’
