Gomez's reps say the pop diva went in but it was not for drugs or alcohol.
"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," a rep for Gomez tells E! News.
In Dec. 2013, Gomez surprised fans by cancelling the Australian leg of her Stars Dance tour. "It has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be," she said in a statement.
After the show cancellations a source told E! News that she "had been working non-stop for six years." and "She hit a wall."
Adding, "She doesn't like to say no, but she just reached a point where she needs a minute. She is not having a breakdown," the source said. "She wants to be the healthiest that she can be and this means taking a little break. But she is fine. She is OK."
She is currently featured in the March release of Seventeen's "Power" issue. The singers stated in the spread that she has no always felt powerful. "This year is when I really started feeling powerful. I had always been the underdog secretly."
"I was on Disney when it was Miley [Cyrus], the Jonas Brothers, and Demi [Lovato]. I questioned the way I looked, acted, sang, and wrote," Gomez tells the magazine.
"Then I turned 20, went through a really bad breakup, and realized I needed to have 'Come & Get It' be amazing. I wanted it all to be me. I'm glad it's taken me this long to get where I am because now I am ready for it," she added.
A source told TMZ that the pop star's choice to seek help had a lot to do with what she was exposed to when around ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and his pals.
Fans have been left stunned with the news Gomez's surprising stint in rehab and many of them are sending her their prayers and support.
