Selena Gomez dishes on new album

Selena Gomez is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, which follows the release of 2013's Stars Dance.

"I've been so stressed about everything from the second single to how we're going to present the album," she confessed.

One thing she's not stressed about is her social media presence. Gomez boasts 31.7 million Twitter followers and 40.5 million Instagram followers.

"I don't understand all of that sometimes," she said. "I think about things very realistically, because I feel like some of those accounts probably don't even actually exist. I also get very weird about that stuff. I'm like, 'Well, why isn't like everybody selling 40 million albums?'" Her strategy is to "be real" and show "the dirty stuff and the fun stuff."

Zayn Malik is the latest celebrity to follow Gomez on Twitter.

"I had no idea what that was until someone else asked me," Gomez said.

"Obviously I know Zayn now, so it's not like a weird thing," she added. Gomez said she doesn't "check" who follows her, but she vowed to follow him back ASAP.
