Selena Gomez doesn't need fame, thankyouverymuch.
At this year's Met Gala, stars got the Humans of New York treatment and Selena opened up to HONY photographer Brandon Stanton about fame and why she's okay with the idea of losing it all, ET Online reports.
"I feel like I'm just starting, but I think I'd be fine if it all went away," she said. "I get that from my mother. From the moment I started singing, she always reminded me that all of this was a privilege, and could be taken at any moment. So singing is not how I define myself. I try to keep my identity rooted in my friendships and my faith."
This isn't the first time Selena has talked about her feelings on fame. Back in March, she took it a step further when she told Vogue she was basically counting down to the day she wasn't famous.
"Look, I love what I do, and I'm aware of how lucky I am, but—how can I say this without sounding weird?" she said in the profile. "I just really can't wait for people to forget about me."
We still can't see that happening any time soon, but at least we know ~for sure~ Selena would be 100 percent okay if it did.
