Selena Gomez is showing her sexy side for the cover of V magazine. The 22-year-old singer posed topless wearing nothing but high-waisted jean shorts and red hoop earrings for the magazine's 94th issue, on newsstands Feb. 26.
"It's here! Stay tuned @vmagazine for moreeee next month!" Gomez captioned the photo.
In an interview with V "The Heart Wants What It Wants" singer opened up about former flame Justin Bieber and the downsides of fame. In recent months Gomez has made headlines for her on-and-off romance with the "Boyfriend" singer.
"I think the next time will be much different... which will definitely not be any time soon. That's a growing up kind of thing. I was 18 years old, and it was my first love," she said clearly referring to her relationship with Bieber. "The older I get, I'm guarding certain things more. After being put through the scrutiny, I understand what it is. When you're young and you're being told so many different things... It almost felt like all we had was each other, like the world was against us, in a way. It was really weird but it was incredible. I would never take it back in a million years. You live and you learn, you know?"
Gomez admitted that the constant media attention did start to bother her and at one point left her a little depressed.
"I think I drove myself crazy for a little bit. It was just easier to say, 'Hey, do you mind running to the grocery store and picking some stuff up, I don't want to get photographed,'" she told V. "I'm finally getting a little bit more comfortable. It's a process."
Lately, it's been rumored that the former Disney star is dating DJ Zedd but they have not confirmed the romance. On Friday, the two did make an announcement and revealed the title and cover art for their upcoming new single.
"MY NEW SINGLE 'I WANT YOU TO KNOW' ft. @selenagomez IS COMING OUT ON 2/23!!!! WRITING ALL CAPS LOCK BECAUSE I'M THAT EXCITED!!" Zedd wrote on Instagram.
