"Yeah, I can, like, walk around naked now and stuff!" Gomez joked with the host, who replied, "That's why you live alone, that's why you pay a mortgage!"

"Honestly, I just enjoy not being able to have to check in all the time," she said, explaining, "...my mom is the sweetest ever, so even now she checks in on me. She's like, 'I see online you're here. are you OK?' and I'm like, 'I'm fine, mom, I promise!' But I think that's just the best thing, being able to go into my own space..."

Ellen then probed Gomez to rate herself on a scale of 1 to 10, on how she has dealt with the pressures of maturing into a young adult.

"I'm a seven," she replied. "I feel like I have been doing this for so long that people are like, 'Be yourself, be yourself,' and I'm still trying to figure out who that is. I know I'm not perfect, but I know that I have a lot of people that support me and love me. I don't want to let anyone down so I just try to be the best I can be. It's awkward being 20."
