Selena & Taylor Were Caught Spilling Tea At The Golden Globes
Selena clarified who they were *actually* discussing.
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift? They do besties better than anyone. During the Jan. 7 Golden Globes, Gomez and Swift were filmed chatting, and fans on X, formerly called Twitter, think Gomez was sharing some major gossip. In a clip of the interaction, Gomez can be seen whispering in Swift’s ear, and whatever she said left Swift gasping and then giggling.
Although a full transcript of their conversation is sadly unavailable, fans have a couple theories about what Gomez could have been saying to Swift — and the most popular one has to do with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet (more on that later). But according to a People source, Chalamet, and Gomez herself, everything is not what it seems.
Under E!’s Instagram post about the rumor, Gomez clarified things. “Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business,” she wrote on Jan. 9. (JSYK, the caption she was responding to read: “At tea time, we'd love to know if Selena Gomez was really gossiping about Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet at this year's #GoldenGlobes.”)
On Jan. 8, an insider confirmed the same to People, explaining that Gomez “was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie.” The source added that she “never even saw or spoke to [the couple].”
When TMZ caught up with Chalamet later that same day, he confirmed that Jenner and Gomez have “no” beef. The actor added that “of course” he and Gomez were still on good terms.
ICYMI, during the award show, Gomez was spotted going over to Swift’s table to chat. As she whispered in Swift’s ear, the Midnights singer looked surprised and dismayed. Keleigh Teller, who was also sitting with Swift, seemed to share her shock. In one clip, it’s clear that Gomez is saying, “No,” emphatically. Then, Teller audibly clarified, “With Timothée?”
According to one X theorist, @allurequinn, the conversation in question allegedly went something like this: Gomez said, “I asked for a picture with him, and [Jenner] said, ‘No.’” Teller asked, “With Timothée?” Gomez then nodded.
Despite the fact that a source told People the rumors were untrue, X has taken the rumored drama and run with it. As one user pointed out, Gomez and Chalamet played each other’s love interests in A Rainy Day in New York in 2019.
Other fans started meme-ing the alleged interaction and getting creative by imagining what exactly Jenner could have said to prompt the now-viral moment.
Others joked about how Gomez immediately reported the rumored interaction back to Swift. “selena having a vaguely negative experience with someone and immediately running over to tell taylor on them is so f*cking funny like girl me too...” one fan quipped.
Another fan joked, “Oh I just know Selena Gomez was talking some *sh*t* with Taylor. She’s so me. Love them.”
At the time, there was no way to know what Gomez actually said to Swift — even if Teller did say “Timothée” pretty loudly. As one X user pointed out, “I just think it’s wild because they get like 4 minutes in between and you think Selena (who was sitting in the front) went all the way to the back where Tim and Kylie were sitting to ask for a photo?? And then had the time to come back to the front and tell Taylor? Use your heads.”
Suffice it to say that Gomez’s version of events definitely makes more sense than the online rumors. Although whichever one of her friends just hooked up with a Timothy, sorry to say that your secret’s out.
