Selena Gomez opted to wait another year to attend her next Grammys. The singer, who just released her album Rare, isn’t nominated for any awards this year because the album was just released. It won’t be eligible until next year. Understandably, Gomez chose to spend the night away from the buzzy award ceremony and support her friends nominated from afar.
Gomez made a big return to the public spotlight this year, releasing her album, Rare, at the beginning of January. Since it came out, Gomez has been promoting the project on social media almost daily, and has spoken openly in interviews about how much the project means to her. She also discussed how she’s made peace with the public assuming some of her music was inspired by her breakup with Justin Bieber. (They dated on and off for nearly 10 years.) Gomez said she never wanted to draw attention to it, and she has chosen not to explicitly name her ex in any promotional interviews for Rare.
As she explained to Zane Lowe on Apple’s Beats 1 radio last week, “It’s not because I wanted any sort of spotlight on that situation. If anything, I’m wanting the spotlight completely separated. But it wasn’t in a vindictive way; it was simply like, ‘Okay, I actually have my part to say,'” she said. “And I waited. I wasn’t just irrationally doing something to be just coming from a place of well, argh! I’m over it. That’s not where I was. When it all came together, it just felt right. And I was okay with that. Other than the fact that [the public] pay attention a bit more to my personal life than maybe others, it’s going to be gone in a day. There’s going to be another story. There’s going to be something else so people will ultimately know yes, where the inspiration came from, but then it kind of ends there.”
