(Chris Pizzello / Invision/Associated Press)Selena Gomez has been named Billboard magazine’s Woman of the Year, and with that came several revelations about her physical and emotional mindset following her kidney transplant over the summer. “Honestly, I couldn’t be more grateful for the position that I’ve been given in my career, from 7 to 14 to now,” the tearful actress-singer said. “I want people to know that I respect the platform that I have so greatly. “I’m so grateful for all the older women who have lifted all of us up, because I couldn’t be here without any of you,” she said. Gomez has been abundantly introspective, which was clear from the accompanying interview she did for the Dec. 9 issue of Billboard.
