Selena Gomez's Social Media
Selena Gomez has taken a social media break, saying that it is "a little silly" and she is 30 years old, adding that she is "too old for this."

It was not the first time that Gomez decided to spend less time on social media platforms.
In 2022, she said that taking a social media break changed her life completely, citing that she is happier, more present, and connects more with people, as cited by Independent.
The actress said she acknowledges "how powerful the internet is" and how it can be one of the best things for the world.
Gomez has hired a team of people to run her social media account since 2017, revealing that she handed social media passwords to her assistant so she could focus on her mental health.
In 2018, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which she first shared publicly in 2020 through an episode of Miley Cyrus's Instagram Live Show, as reported by Rolling Stone.
Gomez also released her pandemic cooking show, "Selena + Chef" in the same year.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner has been popular for being a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and starred in the family's reality TV show at such a young age.
She eventually became more involved in the business as she got older with the launch of her world-famous Kylie Jenner cosmetics.
She was dethroned by Gomez as being the most-followed user on the social media platform.
The two have been the topic of rumors in recent days.
Jenner addressed the rumor that she and Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber's wife, shaded Gomez's eyebrows.
The reality show star said in a TikTok comment, "this is reaching," adding that there was "no shade toward Selena ever."
Jenner went on to say that she did not see Gomez's eyebrows post, according to Page Six.
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashian" star said that people are "making something out of nothing."
Gomez replied and said that it was all unnecessary, adding that she is "a fan of Kylie."
Meanwhile, Bieber has not commented on the rumors.
