Selena Gomez Says Vaping Nicotine Changed Her Voice

And the Only Murders in the Building star concluded her video by sharing an inspirational message for others who may be struggling.

“I know if you are going through something, you can get through it too,” Gomez said. “It sucks.”

Gomez has previously opened up about her voice experiencing changes, though due to other factors.

Indeed, last year, the “Calm Down” singer addressed fan concern about her voice, pointing to side effects from her medications used to treat lupus and bipolar disorder.

“I’ve gotten this question a few times. Sometimes, when I’m on…nevermind, there’s no excuse,” she shared during an Instagram Live in December 2025. “I don’t really care. I think my point is that things happen.”

“My throat kind of swells on the inside sometimes,” she added. “That’s all.”

But Gomez expressed gratitude to her fans for bringing the topic to her attention.

“I’m glad you’re being real with me on the Live,” she noted. “I appreciate it.”

Despite the 34-year-old’s voice potentially being forever altered, there are other changes she’s happy to welcome into her life, specifically the effects of getting older.

“I don’t feel like it’s a bad thing,” Gomez told People in an interview published Sept. 16. “Getting older has been so fun. I’m not scared at all. I love getting older. Things are going to change and things are going to sag, but you’re alive. I think age is just a number in many ways.”
