SELENA Gomez got real onstage over the weekend, telling fans in Jakarta she “needs to rethink” some areas of her life.

The star explained that she felt “unauthentic” and “unconnected” from her music, reports People.

The 24-year-old singer also penned an emotional message on her Instagram after performing to thousands of fans in Jakarta.

“Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music,” she wrote.

“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,” she said.

Gomez continued her message with: “I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask ‘is this where I am, whole heartedly?’ I’ve always told the truth. I’m always true to my word, I’ve shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally. had to get that out.”

Just hours before her show, however, Gomez had posted cheery videos and pictures to her snapchat.

“I’m very, very happy and excited,” she said in one video, later adding, “Everybody here is so nice.”

But just before performing her hit single “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” to end the show, Gomez got emotional and said to the crowd, “The next song, before I go home, is a song that’s so important to me, because I get really frustrated. I get stupid sometimes. I say things that I don’t mean, or that come out wrong, just because I care so badly.”
