Selena Gomez was, indeed, sharing some piping-hot tea with Taylor Swift in that viral video from Sunday’s night’s 2024 Golden Globe Awards — it just wasn’t about what you think.
The actress/musician took to the comments section on Instagram to respond to the rumors around the moment, which was captured in the crowd at the Beverly Hilton ballroom on Sunday night between Gomez, Swift and Miles Teller’s wife, Keleigh.
“Was Selena Gomez Gossiping About Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at Golden Globes?” asked an E! News headline on Instagram, to which Gomez responded: “Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business.”
The rumor floating around online about the viral moment — including fans citing “lip-reading experts” to support their theory — was that Gomez had asked Wonka star Chalamet to take a photo and that his girlfriend Jenner had shot it down.
Chalamet himself had already defused that rumor in a run-in with TMZ cameras on Monday night. When asked if he and Gomez were on good terms, he responded: “Yeah, of course.” Then, after being pressed about whether Gomez and Jenner are feuding, he said, “No… They’re good.”
Gomez was nominated for best female actor in a TV series, musical or comedy for Only Murders in the Building on Sunday night, while Swift was on hand as a nominee in the brand-new category cinematic and box office achievement for her Eras Tour concert film.
