“Hey! I wanted to take some time to do a quick message for you guys because I haven’t been posting that much,” Gomez told fans. “I just wanted to let you know that I love you guys and I miss you and there’s so many exciting things coming up that I can’t wait to share with all of you.”
“I just think at the beginning of this year, with everything going on, it felt a little insensitive to post things that may be just a little joyful or celebratory,” Gomez shared. “It was really hard for me and I’ve taken the time to learn, truly learn, about what’s going on and I continue to make that my priority.”
But not to worry! Gomez reassured her 184 million followers she plans to start becoming more involved with social media in the future.

But, thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting me always and I will talk to you soon,” Gomez told fans.
