Elsewhere in the interview, Gomez opened up about having an assistant run most of her social media accounts. “I never got the chance to go to an actual high school,” she explained. “The world was my high school for the longest time, and I started getting inundated with information that I didn’t want.”

Additionally, Gomez spoke aboutElon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the subsequent increase in hate speech on the platform.
“It’s dangerous. I don’t think I need to say anything because he’s getting [the feedback] that I feel,” she said. “I don’t care about him, but about the [direction] of Twitter…It’s not my favorite app, for sure. I don’t know if it was [about feeling] cool that you own something. I just find it irresponsible and unsafe.”
