Selena Gomez Was Gossiping About Two People Who Totally Weren’t Timothée and Kylie at Golden Globes

Selena Gomez insists she was not gossiping with Taylor Swift about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globes — she was gossiping about two other random people she knows. The extremely viral moment arguably overshadowed the bulk of the Golden Globes: an extremely online interaction filled with big reactions and deep celebrity lore.

The assumed gist of the exchange was that Gomez was relaying to Swift that she’d asked Chalamet for a picture, and Jenner had denied the request. Underpinning the rumor mill was a tangled web of Calabasas connections, primarily Jenner’s friendship with Hailey Bieber, current wife of Gomez’s notable ex , Justin Bieber.

With all that history , it made sense that fans were willing to read deeply into Gomez apparently mouthing an emphatic, “No,” followed by the shock and awe exploding across Swift’s face. After nearly two long days of memes, gifs, and declarations of fact from the internet’s best amateur lip readers, Gomez finally shared her side of the story in the most fitting place possible: the comments section of a day old E! News Instagram post directing interested parties to a story in which a “source with knowledge of the situation” (classic) debunked the extremely online speculation.

The aforementioned source insisted, “It’s not true she went up to them and asked for a photo. She never saw them.” Gomez herself backed it up today, Jan. 9, stating, “Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business.” To Gomez’s point, that’s true — though now we definitely wanna know who hooked up.
