Since announcing she'd undergone a kidney transplant earlier this summer and temporarily moved to New York with her boyfriend The Weeknd while she films her upcoming blockbuster with Woody Allen, it's safe to say singer Selena Gomez has remained relatively quiet on social media in recent weeks.

However, yesterday seemed to be the perfect opportunity for the 25-year-old star to break her social media silence and post an inspiring video on her Instagram account about the power of womanhood and her love for her four-year-old sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey.

The video shows a candid moment between the 'Fetish' star and her sibling in which Gracie can be heard telling her sister 'I'm not scared', while the songstress replies 'Cause you are fearless, right? You're not scared of anything, right?'

Then the duo high five, and subsequently break our hearts with the adorable sisterly moment.

Gomez captioned the adorable post: 'I will forever let my sister know she is strong, bold and beautiful. She will be raised to know her voice matters. She is going to understand the importance behind being a leader and inspire others by her truth.'

The Texas-born star later took to Instagram again to post a heartwarming picture of her as a baby with her mother, Mandy.

She captioned the snap: 'Momma and I'.

Gracie is Selena's half-sister, from her mother's second marriage to Brian Teefey.
