The Bad Liar singer is also still following her childhood bestie, Francia Raisa, who gave Selena one of her kidney's. "I guess I got to the point where it was really kind of life or death," Selena, who suffered from Lupus, said. “As soon as I got the kidney transplant, my arthritis went away. My lupus there’s about a 3-5% chance it’ll ever come back.”

The 25-year-old also changed her profile picture to a photo of her mom, Mandy Teefy which is strange because the mother daughter-duo have reportedly been feuding over her new relationship with Justin Bieber.

The singer has also said in the past that she doesn't have the password to her Instagram account and that her assistant posts for her — so the unfollows may have not been done by Gomez herself but could be part of an overall brand strategy.

"As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out," Selena said during an interview last year. "It had become so consuming to me. It's what I woke up to and went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn't want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn't want to care about. I always end up feeling like s**t when I look at Instagram. Which is why I'm kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit."
