Selena Gomez is on the Cover of Billboard Magazine

Selena Gomez is on the cover of Billboard Magazine! The singer is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming October issue.

In the issue, Selena talks her friendship with Taylor Swift, body shaming, her recent break and so much more. You can check out the highlights below.

On her friendship with Taylor Swift: “Taylor makes me feel empowered, like I can trust new people. All of those girls are so dope. We ran around taking pictures, changing dresses, dancing – super-cliche girly stuff, but it rocked. The way she cares about women is so adamant. It’s pulling me out of my shell.”

On body shaming: “I was in a bikini and got publicly ripped for being overweight. That was the first time I’d experienced body shaming like that. I believed some of the words they were saying. When somebody else has your self-esteem in their hands.”

On why she took a break recently: “I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy. That’s what my break was really about. I could’ve had a stroke. I wanted so badly to say, ‘You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. You’re assholes.’ I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again.”

You can read her full interview TOMORROW, October 8! She looks fantastic on the cover!
