The internet has been ablaze since the 2024 Golden Globe Awards aired on January 7, 2024. Apart from the host Jo Koy getting slammed online for his unfunny jokes, people online have been fixated on Selena Gomez.
This time, many are playing and replaying a clip during the commercial break of the ceremony where Gomez can be seen saying something to Taylor Swift.
Netizens have a weird theory about this that involves Selena and Timothée Chalamet. So, what is it? And what really happened between all 3 of them?
At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, Selena Gomez was filmed telling Taylor Swift something that elicited a shocked reaction from her. Online lipreaders speculated that Gomez told Swift about how Kylie Jenner forbade her from taking a photo with Timothée Chalamet. However, Gomez denied such allegations and said she told “Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up” under an E! News Instagram post.
Explained: What Was Going on Between Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet at the 2024 Golden Globes?
In a surprising turn of events at this year’s Golden Globe Awards, all eyes were on young stars Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, sparking rumors of their alleged relationship that has been ongoing since last April.
However, it was not just their presence that captured the camera’s attention; Taylor Swift, a megastar nominee, also became a focal point of the night’s narrative. The link between these seemingly unrelated narratives? Selena Gomez.
After the event, speculation ran rampant that Gomez had been prevented from taking a photo with Chalamet.
Gomez was seen engaging in a lengthy conversation with Taylor Swift, and cameras captured her sharing something shocking.
Swift’s genuinely surprised reaction left viewers intrigued. Lip readers and experts on social media platforms deduced that Gomez had sought a photo with Chalamet but was denied by Jenner, Chalamet’s girlfriend.
Chalamet and Jenner’s conspicuous togetherness throughout the evening, coupled with Chalamet’s immense popularity, raised questions about the significance of Gomez’s encounter with the couple.
For devoted fans immersed in Gomez and Jenner’s history, it seemed like proof of an underlying grudge.
This drama finds its origins in March 2023 when Gomez and Hailey Bieber engaged in a social media feud initiated by Jenner’s eyebrow-related post after Gomez had shared her insecurities about her brows.
As Hailey is the wife of Gomez’s famous ex, Justin Bieber, fans interpreted Jenner’s post as an act of aggression.
Gomez fans, in retaliation, dug up old videos of Bieber criticizing Swift. This exchange led Gomez, the most followed person on Instagram at the time, to take a social media break.
This isn’t the first time she has gone dark on social media. She took a break in October 2023 as well.
Understanding this background, it appears that Jenner’s loyalty to her friend, Bieber, has remained steadfast since the 2023 eyebrow incident.
Gomez’s connection with Swift further adds complexity, as Bieber and Swift are reportedly not on good terms due to their associations with manager Scooter Braun.
According to People magazine, Selena “was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie.” The source also said she “never even saw or spoke to them.”
Additionally, Gomez left this comment:
“Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone’s business.” under an E! News Instagram post (via NY Post).
However, this just made everyone wonder which two friends she was referring to.
Despite Gomez’s attempts to quell the commotion, her interaction with Swift and Sperry inadvertently became the highlight of the Golden Globes.
This reflects her remarkable ability to captivate public attention, overshadowing even the awards and her work on “Only Murders in the Building,” which brought her to the event.
Gomez’s fame, it seems, makes every interaction and social media post significant, intentionally or not.
What do you make of the Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet issue? Are the online lipreaders rights? Did she gossip with Taylor Swift about Chalamet?
