Did Justin Bieber Inspire Selena Gomez’s Advice To Taylor Swift After Tom Hiddleston Breakup?

Selena Gomez has given Taylor Swift advice following Taylor’s split from Tom Hiddleston, and Selena’s advice sounds like it could have been inspired by Selena’s own issues with her ex Justin Bieber.

Hollywood Life reports that Selena told Taylor to focus on her career and forget about boys for awhile. Selena actually encouraged Taylor to drop a new album before she thinks about dating someone new, according to the report.

Selena’s advice was to take a break from men and to spend some time enjoying being single.

The report also states that Taylor agreed with Selena’s advice, so it sounds like we will not be seeing Taylor Swift with any new man soon.

Selena told her friend to “slow down.” Selena is preaching what she practices. Gomez has recently cancelled her Revival world tour, citing anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems.

“When Taylor told Selena about the breakup, the first thing Selena advised Taylor to do was slow down… Selena has known about the Taylor and Tom [Hiddleston], 35, split for a while….”

Selena urged her best friend to “drop a new album” in the near future, telling Taylor Swift that she should be “focusing her energy in the studio, and dropping a new album before another boyfriend pops up.”

Selena Gomez may have had her own personal troubles in mind when she gave the advice to Taylor Swift. Selena recently told fans she has been feeling disconnected from her image and creative output. Gomez is disappointed that she is defined in the media with reference to fripperies like her clothes, look, and love life, according to Daily Mail.

‘Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both my myself and my music. I’ve never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn’t happened. I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask, ‘Is this where I am, whole heartedly?’

Perhaps Selena would like to see best friend Taylor Swift find creative fulfillment rather than letting the media and observers define her in terms of her wardrobe and videos.

Selena’s family and friends reportedly staged an intervention recently after Selena had an Instagram clash with her ex Justin Bieber, according to The Sun. Selena’s worried family and friends encouraged her to slow down and take a break, which is the same advice Selena has just given Taylor Swift.

Insiders revealed that the Instagram clash with Justin Bieber took a toll on Selena and it was hard for her to see him with his new girlfriend Sofia.

“Justin and Selena’s relationship is notoriously rocky and it hasn’t been easy to see him move on so publicly with Sofia.”

A straight-talking reporter at Celeb Dirty Laundry once observed that Selena seems to spiral out of control every time there is trouble with Justin Bieber. The writer stated that Selena ought to focus on her career, but instead, she lets Bieber get to her every time.

Justin shows up partying with random models and chicks and, bam, Selena loses it… She is looking to bury all of that pain while escaping her reality.

Thankfully, Selena responded to the recent family intervention by cancelling her world tour, reasoning that a high-pressure environment is probably more than she should be dealing with at the moment. The actress and singer reportedly also believes that the auto-immune disease lupus is exacerbating her mental health issues.

Of course, Taylor Swift has her own well-known way of dealing with romantic disappointment and personal troubles: writing breakup songs.

If Taylor takes Selena’s advice and releases a new album soon, she will have a lot of new material to draw on. Taylor has had two messy public breakups in the last few months. Her breakup with Calvin Harris was followed by a feud about who really wrote Harris’ hit track “This Is What You Came For.”

Calvin Harris called Taylor’s actions “hurtful” and accused her and her team of deliberately trying to make him look bad.

Taylor’s breakup with Tom was also messy. Swift apparently suspected that Tom was using her for publicity. Swift was said to be annoyed that Tom wanted her as arm candy at an upcoming film premier and began to question her lover’s motivations for being with her.
