It has changed my life completely," she said. "I am happier. I am more present. I connect more with people. It makes me feel normal." The singer also addressed rumors about her secret usage of the platform, saying, "Everyone always asks me, 'Are you secretly on [Instagram]; are you lying?' and I'm like, 'I have no reason to lie.'

" Selena officially announced her return to the social media platform in January 2023, with a caption reading, "Wait can you tell I'm back on Instagram?" on a selfie she posted.
