The singer, 31, had taken to Instagram on Tuesday to announce she would be taking a break from social media for ‘a while’ to ‘focus on what really matters’.
However, just 24 hours later, Selena returned to the platform to promote a cooking video with chef Gordon Ramsay, 51, on her Instagram Stories.

‘I’m off social for a while. I’m focusing on what really matters,’ she announced alongside a clip of her boyfriend Benny Blanco, 35, sweetly playing with two kids.
However, on Wednesday, she then brushed off her recent Golden Globes drama as she returned to the platform to promote a cooking video with Gordon Ramsay.
She shared a snap from the video and wrote: ‘@Gordongram stepped into my kitchen and showed me how to make an amazing Breakfast Burger,’ sharing the link to the full YouTube video.
Last year, she announced she was taking a break from her social media on at least two occasions.
Selena has previously said that she thinks social media breaks make for a healthy decision, revealing that at one point, she took more than four years away from social media – letting her assistant run her account.
The controversy surrounding Selena erupted on Sunday night at the Golden Globe awards, held at the Beverly Hilton, where she was seen whispering to singer pal Taylor.
At one point in the ceremony, cameras focused in on Selena as she somberly chatted to Taylor and Keleigh Sperry, 31, the wife of actor Miles Teller, 36.
Speculation quickly ensued about what the group were talking about in their hushed conversation, as fans believed she was discussing couple Timothee and Kylie.
Forensic lipreader Jeremy Freeman told DailyMail.com that Selena said: ‘He didn’t want a picture with me, he said no,’ to which Keleigh asked: ‘Timothee?’
Taylor was seen whispering in Selena’s ear, before Selena was believed to have replied: ‘I tried, I couldn’t, it’ll upset em.’
However, on Monday, Selena denied she was speaking Timothee and Kylie as she posted in the comment section of an E! News post about the incident.

Speculation ensued that Selena was saying Timothée Chalamet wouldn’t pose with her so as not to upset his rumored love interest Kylie Jenner (pictured at the Golden Globes)
The post was captioned: ‘At tea time, we’d love to know if Selena Gomez was really gossiping about Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet at this year’s #GoldenGlobes.’
To which Selena replied: ‘Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business.’
Timothee also denied having any issues with Selena on Monday, saying they were on good terms.
The pair previously worked with one another on the Woody Allen movie A Rainy Day In New York, playing love interests Chan and Gatsby.
