On July 22, 1992, Selena Gomez, an actress and singer, was born in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her parents are Ricardo Gomez and Mandy Teefey. Her father is Mexican, but her mother has some Italian ancestry. She was given that name in honor of the late Tejano singer, Selena. She co starred with Demi Lovato from 2002 to 2004 in her debut acting performance as “Gianna” in the well-known children’s television program Barney & Friends from the 1990s.
Gomez made appearances in the films House Broken, Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire, and Spy Kids 3: Game Over. When Gomez received the lead role of “Alex Russo” in the Disney Channel comedy Wizards of Waverly Place, she relocated to Los Angeles, California. She made her ABC Family debut in Horton Hears a Who in 2008! She then appeared alongside her childhood friend Demi Lovato in the films Another Cinderella Story and Princess Protection Program.
Gomez’s first album with her band, “Selena Gomez & the Scene,” was published in 2009 and debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 album rankings. Later, Gomez and her band put out two more albums and appeared in the movies Hotel Transylvania, Spring Breakers, and Monte Carlo (2011). (2012). With the lead single from her debut solo album, “Stars Dance,” Selena Gomez made her first top ten appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2013. She appeared in the films Rudderless (2014), Getaway (2013), and Behaving Badly. She also made appearances in the 2015 movies Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, The Fundamentals of Caring, In Dubious Battle, and Hotel Transylvania 2. “Revival,” her second solo album, arrived at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. Her third solo album, “Rare,” was made available in 2020.
What does it mean when a large number of today’s female pop singers, like Ariana Grande, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Gomez in addition to Swift and Gomez, openly discuss their issues with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks? A website and song by Megan Thee Stallion on mental health are both available online. Even the epitome of cool confidence, Rihanna, has acknowledged experiencing anxiety from time to time. Many celebrities acknowledge in blogs and interviews that the relentless public scrutiny — the fans, the backlash, the faked indignation, the criticisms, and the haters — wears them down.
The results have been brutal for Gomez. Though the young woman at its center has enormous appeal, Alek Keshishian’s documentary occasionally makes it difficult to watch due to the fragility on display.
Gomez describes the mental and emotional anguish that can consume her with humility and self-deprecation. “A voice tells me that I missed this, and it pops into my head.” Following a rehearsal onstage, Gomez tells her team, “That sucked, that sucked.” Because I want to do my absolute best but am not, the pressure is simply too great.
