Uddrag
Rob Haskell works as a journalist for various magazines, including Vogue, where the article "Selena Gomez on Instagram Fatigue, Good Mental Health, and Stepping Back From the Limelight" (2017) was published.
The article is based on an informal interview with the pop star Selena Gomez. The interview is about the pros and cons of fame, including the role of social media.
The article recounts how Gomez decides to take a break from the limelight after a period of mental health issues.
She does this, because the amount of pressure she experiences is difficult to handle and only leads to extremely stressful times. Haskell takes a talk with Gomez around the dining room table and a delicious dinner.

The overall style of the article has a warm and casual vibe. Haskell wants to create an image of Gomez as an approachable person, that isn’t some inaccessible celebrity:
“when I tell her that real isn’t the first word that springs to mind when faced with these ingredients (...)” (ll. 9-11).
Although the tone is mostly warm and casual, it also turns into something more heartfelt and empathic as the text conveys some of the difficulties and challenges Gomez has experienced on her way to fame:
“I wonder whether her legions have felt for years the same sharp pang of protectiveness that I’m feeling at present.” (ll. 40-41).
