Selena Gomez reflects on the bittersweet success in the year 2020

In a new interview with Billboard, the Lose You to Love Me singer opened up about what it was like releasing her very personal album Rare – which would go on to become her third number one album on the charts in January of 2020, just two months before the coronavirus pandemic hit the US. "There's this bittersweet feeling, of course," Selena told the outlet. "I would much rather want the world be in a better place. Yet at the same time, it was so beautiful to see that my music could hopefully bring some people some sort of joy in the midst of it." However, Rare wasn't her only major achievement in a difficult year. She also launched her cosmetics line Rare Beauty, and starred on the HBO Max cooking show Selena + Chef. She even started filming Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, her first starring scripted television role since her time on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place. As for music, however, Selena – who also teamed up with K-Pop girl group Blackpink for the single Ice Cream this year – shared that despite receiving some of the best reviews of her career, she's not coasting on Rare's success.
