Sang off key in my chorus is not just a lyric in this selena Gomez song but clearly a motto she lives by when performing. This is PAINFUL. #AMAs

Sel’s big return at the AMA mark the return of the star after 2015’s Revival. After going off track she revealed she’d undergone kidney transplant surgery, sharing that her best friend Francia Raisa had given her the organ as a life-saving measure. The star has taken time off to focus on her health but came roaring back to the music scene again this year.
Earlier this month, “Lose You to Love Me” became Sel’s first No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart after racking up 38.8 million streams in the U.S. in its first week of release.
“My first number 1!! This song is so dear to my heart. I’ve been working so hard to make this album as honest and fun as possible while remaining vulnerable enough to share where I am in life,” Gomez wrote on Instagram in celebration.
