In December 2025, Selena Gomez (34) spoke for the first time about her vocal changes and in her way of speaking. According to numerous fans, the celebrity's voice used to sound fresh and sweet, and now it sounds dry, hoarse, and deeper. "I have been asked many times about my voice. And, well, there is no excuse," she commented in a live stream.
"I don't care. I mean, what I want to say is that sometimes things happen and my throat, sometimes, gets inflamed on the inside. That's all," she pointed out. A statement that numerous media immediately related to lupus, one of the diseases affecting the artist. However, this Sunday, the American singer has decided to post a video where she elaborates more on the subject and even attributes her metamorphosis to another cause.
"I won't be able to change my voice. I have vaped a lot, with nicotine, and I want everyone to know that quitting nicotine vaping is very difficult," she said in front of the camera. "I just wanted to say that if you are going through that or if you are even thinking about starting to vape, it's not worth it. It's stupid and it has changed my voice," she stated with the calmness that has characterized her in recent years.
Additionally, she has decided to address her potential haters or those who were already preparing to attack her on social media. "If you don't like listening to my voice, I totally understand. But I don't care. Just don't listen to me. Don't listen to me!" she mentioned with laughter, before revealing that currently she is excited.
"I just want to say that I am very excited because I have quit and I just hope to be able to stay this way. It's very difficult, but I know that if you are going through something like this, you can also overcome it. It sucks!" she stated in a story that has already gone viral. In fact, within hours, major media outlets such as Daily Mail,People and the BBC have picked up on her words.
On the other hand, in the last few minutes, some images of Selena with a vape pen have started to go viral. According to Us Weekly, in August 2018, a paparazzo photographed her while walking around Rome with a device in her hand. But that was not the only occasion... because last year she also appeared with one of these devices in two different videos.
The first was recorded in August 2025, when she was getting ready to go out with Taylor Swift, and the second in September, while preparing for her wedding day with Benny Blanco. Despite this, the star of Only Murders in the Building had never publicly spoken about the issue... and doesn't seem to have any interest in continuing to do so.
