Selena Gomez says vaping changed her voice

Fans who grew up accustomed to Selena Gomez’s appearance and voice have noticed a change over the years. That’s to be expected from child stars who stick around past their Disney Channel days, and we hope no one expects her to look and sound the same more than a decade after leaving Waverly Place. As she’s grown as a singer, Gomez traded her youthful pop-rock stylings for breathy R&B that better suits her changing tones. Still, mark us down as unsurprised that conspiratorial social media users have begun theorizing about Gomez’s evolution, wondering if she, too, had been cloned and replaced like so many celebrities before her. This is despite her very public medical issues in the past; Gomez was diagnosed with Lupus in 2012 and received a kidney transplant five years later. Those could just as easily cause the change, but conspiracy theorists always seem to ignore the most mundane answers because they just aren’t that sexy. Jim Carrey isn’t a clone. He’s just aging. Similarly, it would be so much more interesting if Gomez had been a clone, but alas, in an Instagram Story yesterday, the Only Murders In The Building star said her voice change is due to vaping.
