Camila Cabello explains her social media break

If you noticed that Camila Cabello’s Instagram account was dark in the last week or so, turns out it was for a pretty good reason: the “Havana” singer joined the growing list of celebs taking a social media break. The 22-year-old took some time off in between the Grammys and the Super Bowl so that she could find her centre and take a bit of time for herself.She returned to the platform February 4 to assure fans that she was giving herself some much-needed space. “I think it’s healthy to know when you need time for yourself- that’s been my biggest thing I’ve worked on this year so far is to listen to my intuition and what my mind and body need!!!! she wrote in a lengthy post. "When I feel overwhelmed or overstimulated I’m like…. ok I need to give myself a little room to slow down. But I miss and love you guys!!!!”[video_embed id='1887319']RELATED: These celebrities are pressing pause on social media[/video_embed]Those are wise words to live by, but it wasn’t just the message itself that captured fans’ hearts. In the accompanying photo, the singer can be seen with a brand new bob that was held back with a diamond-and-pearl pin. It’s a retro beauty look that’s made modern thanks to the thick eyeliner and a leopard-print dress with ruches and thick straps, and it’s all in anticipation of a new music video that she’s working on.

hello!!!! usually when I take these breaks from social media, it’s cause I need some space or time away from it - I think it’s healthy to know when you need time for yourself- that’s been my biggest thing I’ve worked on this year so far is to listen to my intuition and what my mind and body need!!!! When I feel overwhelmed or overstimulated I’m like.... ok I need to give myself a little room to slow down. but I miss and love you guys!!!!

“I’m in London right now working on Cinderella and I’m having the time of my life TBH,” she continued. “Here’s a picture behind the scenes of a music video that’s coming out very very soon... how are you guys doing?! How’s life!! How are your hearts! I’ll read some of the comments and reply.”You can certainly understand that the singer wanted to take some time to herself—she’s had quite a busy 2020 so far what with a tear-inducing Grammy performance, filming this modern-day take on Cinderella (alongside Billy Porter and Idina Menzel no less!), and dealing with fans following her every move with boyfriend Shawn Mendes.Cabello seems to be officially back on her social channels, though. She returned to Instagram on Super Bowl Sunday to praise J-Lo and Shakira’s half time performance, and then followed up her music video sneak-peek with a video of her actually frolicking through a field like the “Señorita” she is.[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: Camila Cabello on the first time she performed ‘Señorita’ with Shawn Mendes[/video_embed]
