in 2022, but alas, new pictures published of in a bikini prove that not everyone got the memo.The singer, 30, has been on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with and the friends were enjoying a yacht trip where Selena was snapped by paparazzi  in her swimsuit.

Pop-culture Twitter account posted two photos alongside the caption: “Selena Gomez looks gorgeous as she poses for paparazzi in Cabo.” So far, so good, right?This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Enter the comments section, where Twitter users casually weighed in with their thoughts on the singer’s body. “She gotta lose some weight she looking tubby,” one wrote, while another read: “Wow, pack on the pounds or what.” Someone even wrote: “OH SHES HUGEE”, and an arguably particularly hurtful comment said: “The pop girlie who’s aging the worst, I fear [sic].” As the post gained steam, people came the star's defense, cementing about how beautiful she is, but the damage was done.

It strikes me as so sad that we continue to cling to this collective preoccupation with appearance and, to be more specific, weight.

We're still so deeply obsessed with people’s size – and why? We have all seen enough body-positive quotes on Instagram now to know that our weight should be the least interesting thing about us.
