Selena Gomez is getting "vulnerable" about her voice.
The “Single Soon” singer, 33, answered a fan question about how her vocal tone has shifted in recent years on an Instagram Live session on Dec. 16, which was reposted on X.
“Yeah I’ve gotten this question a few times. The voice thing. So, sometimes when I’m on — nevermind,” she began, before switching gears. “There’s no excuse. I don’t really care.”
“I think my point is, is that sometimes things happen,” she explained. “I get weird. My throat kind of swells inside sometimes. That’s all.”

The singer and actress has been candid in the past about the challenges she’s faced following her lupus and bipolar disorder diagnosis. In a Sept. episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, she revealed that she struggles with arthritis from lupus, and that helped influence the packaging of her Rare Beauty products.
"I have arthritis in my fingers, and that’s due to my lupus,” Gomez shared at the time. "So, I remember before the brand, I was trying to open a water bottle and it hurt really bad before I was on the right medication."
"And we somehow inherently made the products easy to open, and then we realized, wait — they kind of have to be that way," she explained. "And then we started to make every product with the intention of [working for] anybody who [has] dexterity problems."
She has also answered other lighthearted questions about her health. Last week, she shared one such question in a video on her Instagram Stories. A make-up free Gomez told viewers, "someone made me laugh because they asked me, 'How do you shave your mustache?' "
She then went on to point out that she doesn't have a five o'clock shadow, but instead the discoloration was due to "my melasma.” She explained, "I take care of it and treat it, but yeah it's there."
"I totally get it," she added. "It's from the sun," the singer explained while encouraging her followers to use sunscreen.

She has also openly discussed her experience with acne in the past, saying in her Vogue's Beauty Secrets episode, "I notice when I get stressed or something I break out more or I get lazy with my routine so I feel like it's just become a part of it. And I just deal with whatever I got that day.”
"When you are taking care of your skin you are taking care of your body and your mind and your soul just because I think it's all connected," she shared, adding that sunscreen is always going to be an important part of her routine due to her lupus diagnosis.
