Independent career lady: Sources say Selena Gomez is fed up of being defined by her romances
Selena is the most followed celebrity on Instagram boasting a jaw-dropping 110million fans, and has sold over 7 million albums and 22 million singles worldwide.
A source told TMZ: 'She's fed up with everyone on social media trying to define her by the guy she's dating and is proud of her accomplishments as a singer.
'She thinks every time she hooks up with someone people ignore her as an artist, a TV producer for a new show, the face of Coach and the most followed person on Instagram.'

Meanwhile The Weeknd has also stayed quiet on their romance, but his latest track was thought to be a diss towards Justin, who she dated for almost six years.
'I think your girl, think your girl, fell in love with me,' he finishes the first verse. 'She say my f*** and my tongue game a remedy.'
In the chorus, he declares: 'I just took that chick, and I know you feelin' some way / She just want a ni*** like me, you feelin' some way'.
Even Nav appears to get involved in his own verse.
'The brown boy and the Starboy on a track / Haters gonna say this sh** is wack' — "wack" being exactly how Bieber describes The Weeknd's music, after calling out Starboy in particular.
'She thinks every time she hooks up with someone people ignore her as an artist, a TV producer for a new show, the face of Coach and the most followed person on Instagram.'

'We gotta end it now. That was too funny,' he giggled.
