Selena Gomez’s podcast revelation and musings on musical journey

Additionally, Gomez recently spoke about her music career and aspirations during a podcast interview.

Despite releasing her first new music in almost a year with 'Single Soon' last year, Gomez revealed she might have one more album in her but is inclined towards focusing on acting, expressing a desire to take a break due to fatigue.

Reflecting on her friendship with Gomez, Cabello previously highlighted their bond, lauding Gomez's support, honesty, and genuine nature.

“I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting,” she said during the latest episode of the 'SmartLess' podcast when asked about her two passions.

She continued, "I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else."

Gomez further added, "I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else."

“I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs," she continued.

Camila Cabello commends Selena Gomez's influence on their friendship

In an interview with PEOPLE back in May 2022, Cabello praised Gomez's authenticity, stating that their friendship allows them to be themselves without pretense.

She admired Gomez's vulnerability and honesty, considering it a guiding light in an industry that often expects perfection from public figures.

"She is somebody that's always been so supportive, a really great friend, and a person with great values. She's super empathetic, loyal, and honest," she said and added, "We have our own little group, and we hang out, and all of our conversations are real."

Cabello said, "I feel like she's never pretending, and I don't feel like I have to pretend around her. Those are the most worthwhile friendships," continues Cabello, who's inspired by Gomez's authentic approach to celebrity.

"Women like her being so vulnerable and honest with their feelings is such a guiding light for me, and I think it's going to alleviate a lot of people coming after her, after me, in the industry, that feel like they have to be perfect," she added.
