Kickstart Summer With Selena Gomez

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Selena fans can kickstart summer fun by visiting iTunes TODAY to download the next single from her forthcoming album, WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, in stores June 28.

With her superstar power growing by the nanosecond, Selena's taking risks and entering new arenas with carefully selected songs that are anything but "kiddie music."  The teen fashion icon credits her mother-manager Mandy Teefey for helping her make the right choices, and states life has been interesting "growing up with my music."

One of the most "liked" stars across all social media platforms to date, Selena admires actor Shia LaBeouf's ability to transition from Disney Channel star to respected film actor.

When the upcoming summer film "Monte Carlo" -- a comedy where her character is mistaken for an heiress -- opens this July, Selena will follow in her idol's footsteps ... and the world will watch to see how she fares. She takes the fame, fans, and demands in stride but quickly points out, "I don't like putting my name on anything I don't approve."
 
Check out more on Selena, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Willow Smith, and other top artists at RadioDisney.com!
