Selena Gomez has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and since her younger days as an actor, her music career has blossomed, going from strength to strength. When she released her second studio album, Revival, she embarked on a US tour to promote it. Despite her busy schedule, she continued to write songs for her third album while on tour. She made the creative decision to add one of these songs, Feel Me, to her setlist, and it took fans by storm.
Gomez began to play the new dance track regularly, and it began to gain much attention from fans. Despite initially not having plans to release the song, it was in such high demand that the singer decided to release it as a single for her third album in 2020. That wasn’t the only surprise Gomez had in store for fans. To promote the single, she released an official and professionally filmed video of her performing the song on the Revival Tour – where the fans’ love for the song first started.
Fans were overjoyed by the release, with viewers of the music video commenting, “the amount of times I’ve seen this performance when Feel Me wasn’t released yet”, as well as praising the elegance and simplicity of her live performance. The video has now received over 43 million views. The single became a commercial success, too, entering worldwide charts and reaching number one in Poland, number two in New Zealand, as well as entering the US Billboard 100 and UK Singles charts.
2020 ended up being a big year for Gomez, as there was more creative and commercial success to come for the pop star. Later in the year, Gomez teamed up with K-Pop group Blackpink to record a song called ‘Ice Cream’. The music video ended up breaking records for the creative team, becoming the third-highest 24-hour debut for a music video on YouTube. It achieved over 79 million views in three days and reached number thirteen on the US charts.
As if that wasn’t enough success for the singer in one year, she was later recognized for her achievements by multiple awarding bodies. She was honored by The Latin Recording Academy for her music by being presented with the Leading Ladies of Entertainment Award for 2020.
Not only that, but she was also placed on the prestigious Times 100 Most Influential People list. She was recognized for her achievements in music, television production, and beauty business ownership, as well as her outspoken and charitable efforts in support of mental health and migrants’ rights.
She has continued to grow in all areas of her career and, never one to slow down, is now planning to release her 4th studio album in 2024.
