Selena Gomez is putting the record straight about what she whispered to Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes. During the 2024 awards show on Sunday (7 January), the Rare Beauty founder was spotted huddling close with Taylor and actress Keleigh Sperry during a commercial break, and the three were seen discussing what appeared to be some shocking news. It was clear that whatever Gomez said left her BFFs with jaws hanging open in pure shock, and the internet quickly started speculating that she had spilled some tea about actor Timothee Chalamet, who sat at their table with Kylie Jenner. The rumors spread like wildfire, and even lip-reading experts agreed that Gomez seemed to say that Taylor asked Chalamet for a picture, and he turned her down.
However, a source now claims that Gomez was not talking about the rumored couple; instead, she was telling Taylor and Keleigh some good news. “She was not referencing anything about Timothee and Kylie,” the insider told PEOPLE the day after the star-studded show.
Despite not attending the awards show together, Gomez and Swift were seen meeting up for an intimate dinner afterward with co-star Benny Blanco, who had been nominated for his role in The Bear. During the post-show event, ET’s Denny Directo caught up with the duo and asked them about that viral moment. “Well, if you can believe it, that was just the most amazing, eloquent, beautiful thing I’ve ever heard,” Swift replied with a smile. “It was just a special, intimate moment.”
While the stars didn’t walk the red carpet together, Gomez was spotted snacking up behind Swift’s table when the pair were gathered for photos between commercial breaks. The “Single Soon” singer can be seen leaning in for a hug before she reveals that she has some good news.
The two then delve into some deep conversation, and Gomez looks up in surprise as her best friend’s jaw drops to the floor in sheer shock. Afterward, the two take a quick selfie together, and Gomez leaves her BFF to head back to her table.
Gomez and Swift were nominated for their roles in Only Murders in the Building and The Eraser Tour, respectively, but neither won during the televised ceremony. The pair’s friendship is getting stronger and stronger, as evidenced by the sweet moment they shared afterward.
While the two won no awards, they were winners on the night. In her acceptance speech, Swift praised Gomez for showing so much love and support over the years, and the latter couldn’t agree more. Both have come a long way since their rough patch in 2010 and are now thriving in the industry. We can’t wait to see what else these two have in store for us!
