Selena Gomez is ready to show the world that she’s so much more than a woman who used to be in a relationship with Justin Bieber.
The 23-year-old singer took to Twitter to express her disappointment in the media for always reporting on her past, especially the part that involved her ex-boyfriend Bieber. But while the press has been preoccupied with the saga of “Jelena,” Gomez has been hard at work trying to carve her own, individual space in the industry, and now, she’s ready for her fans (and the world) to see that.
The star wrote on Twitter:
Disappointing seeing interviews I’ve done recently that sound like the exact same interview I did when I was 16…

I just want to release the album already.. I’m ready for people to know who I am NOW.

Print/type who I am NOW and stop being afraid it won’t give your website hits

Some outlets are reporting Gomez’s tweets are in response to her recent Sunday Times interview, which mainly focused on her relationship with the Biebs and touched upon the topic of her purity ring. Gomez answered openly, as she’s known to do, but one of her responses stood out as a not-so-subtle jab at the mag (and the media in general) for choosing to focus their energies on her former romance instead of her upcoming album “Revival.”
“It’s difficult for people to separate us. The Internet wants to freeze this moment in time and constantly repeat it,” she said. (They didn’t seem to get the hint.)
It seems clear that Gomez just wants to move on to the next phase of her career. Yes, she dated Justin Bieber, but she’s over it now, and we should be too.
Her new album “Revival” drops Oct. 9.
