Selena Gomez delivered a powerful speech at the AMAs and it was heartening to see her make a strong comeback as we have countless examples of celebrities buckling under the pressure of stardom.
While Gomez took a break because she was diagnosed with Lupus, she also needed to resolve mental health problems that arose as a side effect of the illness. Therefore, the otherwise social media savvy star took a 3 week long hiatus, which is a long time considering our generation’s proverbial social media itch.
However, Gomez has returned to Instagram and posted the following message: “I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My year has been the hardest yet most rewarding one yet. I’ve finally fought the fight of not ‘being enough’. I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of YOU. By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless.”
Gomez is one of the most popular stars on Instagram with nearly 89.2 million followers. She also has the most ‘liked’ photo on the photo sharing app: a Coca Cola advertisement that got her nearly 6 million likes. The second most liked photo on Instagram belongs to Justin Bieber, but coincidentally, it’s a photo of him kissing Gomez.
