Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine changed her voice - CBC

Fans who grew up accustomed to Selena Gomez’s appearance and voice have noticed a change over the years. That’s to be expected from child stars who stick around past their Disney Channel days, and we hope no one expects her to look and sound the same more than a decade after leaving Waverly Place. As she’s grown as a singer, Gomez traded her youthful pop-rock stylings for breathy R&B that better suits her changing tones. Still, mark us down as unsurprised that conspiratorial social media users have begun theorizing about Gomez’s evolution, wondering if she, too, had been cloned and replaced like so many celebrities before her. This is despite her very public medical issues in the past; Gomez was diagnosed with Lupus in 2012 and received a kidney transplant five years later. Those could just as easily cause the change, but conspiracy theorists always seem to ignore the most mundane answers because they just aren’t that sexy. Jim Carrey isn’t a clone. He’s just aging. Similarly, it would be so much more interesting if Gomez had been a clone, but alas, in an Instagram Story yesterday, the Only Murders In The Building star said her voice change is due to vaping.

The singer and actress recently completed filming the fifth series of Only Murders In The Building in LondonSelena Gomez has said vaping nicotine has changed the way her voice sounds. "I'm not gonna be able to change my voice," the singer, 34, said in a candid Instagram post on Sunday. "I vaped nicotine a lot. ""Nicotine is so hard to quit and I just wanted to say, if you're going through it, or if you're even trying to vape, it's just not worth it," she continued. "It's so stupid and it changed my voice," she reiterated, then laughed: "So if you guys don't like listening to my voice, that's totally understandable. I don't mind. Just don't listen to it. "The singer and actress, who has the chronic autoimmune disease lupus, has previously suggested that the condition was affecting her vocal cords. Asked about her voice in an Instagram Q&A last December, she said: "Sometimes things happen. I get weird. My throat kind of swells inside sometimes. That's all. "⁠Lupus flare-ups can cause inflammation around the larynx (voice box), which can cause your voice to become raspy and strained - similar to the symptoms of a cold.
