Selena Gomez is asking people to stop comparing her to the woman she was in 2015 and 2016… but every time she steps onto a red carpet looking noticeably different, we can't help but ask... what happened to Selena Gomez’s face?

Somewhere along the way, Selena didn’t just start looking different. She started talking differently, behaving differently, and almost distancing herself from the very eras people remember her most fondly for.

So today, we’re going there: the face, the body, the work she got done, the 2016 obsession, the victim mentality and why, at only 34 years old, Selena Gomez already seems exhausted by the woman she used to be.

Let’s get into it.
