Selena Gomez has been a star since she could walk and talk — and sing, of course — but the path has not always felt celestial. Or put in another way: space, where stars look so peaceful from a distance, is filled with debris and explosions. In Selena’s case, numerous versions of black holes have abounded.
The new Selena Gomez documentary — Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me — on Apple TV+ aims to be transparent about what stardom really has been like for Selena, showing the soaring positives but not skipping over the negative pull as she finds her way, as she struggles, with her unique reality. And she also works hard to make clear that everyone’s struggle is both unique and also something others are gong through.
A very active advocate for mental health, Selena lets her own story here inspire her fans while offering teachable moments, moments of connection.
“After years in the limelight, Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness,” reads the trailer. “This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light.”
