Selena Gomez says there’s a reason why her voice sounds different — because her throat swells up.
The “Calm Down” singer responded to a fan question about why her voice has changed over the years in an Instagram Live session Tuesday.
“Yeah, I’ve gotten this question a few times, the voice thing,” Gomez admitted. The pop star, 33, began to explain a reason before backtracking her sentence.
“So sometimes when I’m on… never mind,” she said, cutting herself off. “There’s no excuse, I don’t really care.”
She then explained that the voice change is caused by occasional throat swelling.
“I think my point is, is that sometimes things happen,” she said. “I get weird. My throat kind of swells inside sometimes. That’s all. That’s good.”
Gomez then thanked her followers for being transparent with her.
“I’m glad y’all are being real with me on the Live. I appreciate it though, for real,” she said.
Gomez has been candid about her ongoing health struggles — specifically her battle with Lupus.
The chronic autoimmune disease can cause swelling and irritation, also known as inflammation, that may affect joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs, according to the Mayo Clinic.
