Selena Gomez has addressed concerns about her vocal changes.
Fans have noticed that the Only Murders in the Building star’s voice has changed significantly over the past few years.
Gomez stayed silent about it until now, addressing the concerns in an Instagram Live after a fan asked about her voice.
“I get this question a lot,” she said after reading a comment from a fan.
“Sometimes when I’m on… nevermind, there is no excuse. I don’t really care.
“I think my point is sometimes things happen, sometimes I get weird, my throat kind of swells inside, that’s all.”
She added that she wasn’t offended by the question, saying, “I’m glad y’all are being real with me on the live. I appreciate it though, for real.”

In recent months, fans have noticed the drastic change in her voice, especially during interviews and on the latest season of Only Murders in the Building.
Fans reposted a screen-recording of the live stream, with comments speculating the Call Me When You Break Up singer’s lupus medication is what caused her throat to swell.
The singer, Rare Beauty founder and actress revealed she was diagnosed with Lupus in an interview with Billboard in 2015.
“I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy,” she said, one year after she was first diagnosed.
“That’s what my break [from the spotlight] was really about. I could’ve had a stroke.
“I wanted so badly to say, ‘You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again.”
She has battled a number of health issues after her diagnosis, including needing a Kidney transplant.
Her treatments for lupus have led to changes in her body, including chronic inflammation and swelling, as well as weight fluctuations.
She has been open in talking about her health issues because she felt as though she “didn’t have a choice,” according to an interview with NPR in 2020.
”I wasn’t going to have a choice because of how fast everything moves now.”
“And most of the time, yes, it’s not true, or it’s an embellished version of what the truth is. I want to be able to tell my story the way that I want to tell it.”
