In August, Gomez revealed that she would be stepping away from public life and social media to deal with issues of depression and anxiety stemming from her battle with lupus.

“She decided to clear her calendar for the year in order to have this be her priority for future happiness and didn’t want to leave any promoters at bay,” a source close to Gomez told People at the time about the star’s career break. “She feels relieved that she can now make more sense of why she was feeling the way she was and is optimistic about the future.”

While accepting the AMA award for favorite female artist in the pop/rock category last Sunday, Gomez addressed her period of silence, telling the crowd “If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken … whether you respect me or not, one thing you should know about is I care about people.”
