The Wolves singer said, “Like everyone else, I am feeling unsettled and going through a variety of emotions during this time. For that reason, I think it’s important to stay informed and be aware of the latest news, but also take breaks from it because it can be overwhelming.”
She further revealed how she is coping with this unsettling feeling, Selena said, “Reading and listening to music have been a huge factor in keeping me calm.”
Selena then went on to mention, “Before the stay-at-home ordinance, I was working in the studio. I didn’t want to lose that feeling of inspiration, so I am constantly writing ideas and lyrics down for songs in my journals.”
On the side note, Selena is also watching old movies and TV shows to keep herself entertained and she also shared a list of entertainment recommendations for her fans to watch amid the coronavirus lockdown.
