“I love meeting fans after each show. It’s a special feeling you get from being able to get a little closer to the people who support you and are so appreciative of your work. My crew will go into the upper stands and choose 40 people from the crowd to come backstage after the show where we can talk a bit and they can get to know me better. I like being able to hang out a bit with my fans and taking photos together and letting them know that I really care about them and how important that is to me.”

2. She’s a fan of Queen Bey

I choose to live this life and be able to perform. I enjoy everything that comes with the success I’ve had. But sometimes you panic and feel the weight of the world on your shoulders
Selena Gomez

“I look at other artists like Taylor [Swift] and Beyoncé who are so much in command of everything they do. I’m so inspired by women who are confident enough to be themselves. Beyoncé is a powerful woman who has so much energy and determination. She is one of the hardest-working artists in the business and has a beautiful sense of who she is and what she wants to accomplish. She’s very inspiring. I love Beyoncé.”
