Days after pop stars Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were spotted chatting at the Golden Globes — and amid much online speculation — Gomez has revealed their topic of discussion.
Swift attended the ceremony after her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” was nominated for the cinematic and box office achievement award.
Gomez was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a television series — musical or comedy, and her show, "Only Murders in the Building," was up for best television series — musical or comedy.
Neither Gomez nor Swift won their respective categories, but it wasn't the reactions to the losses that captured fans' attention throughout the night.
A clip of Gomez whispering to Swift, causing Swift to gasp, went viral online, as fans speculated what information could have caused Swift's jaw to drop.
"I wonder what she’s telling Taylor because she looks so gagged," a user wrote on X.
"The DRAMA LOL," another user commented.
"Theyre definitely planning for world domination," one X user wrote.
Some called for lip readers to analyze the footage, while many fans were celebrating the pair’s strong friendship. Yet more people speculated that Gomez had discussed Timothée Chalamet and his partner, reality star and makeup entrepreneur Kylie Jenner.
E! News went as far as to publish a story on Instagram with the headline, "Was Selena Gomez Gossiping about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at Golden Globes? Here's the Truth."
Gomez hopped in the comments of E! News' post on Jan. 9 to clarify.
"Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business," she replied.
A representative for Gomez didn't respond to a request for comment from TODAY.com after the moment went viral.
Swift and Gomez had a girls night out at the Golden Globes. The two were joined by Keleigh Teller and Emma Stone.
Fans cheered Swift's reaction to Stone winning the Golden Globe for best female actor in a motion picture — musical or comedy, when she was seen standing and clapping for the "Poor Things" actor.
Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, didn't attend the event, but he was still present in jokes throughout the evening. Host Jo Koy poked fun at the NFL's love for the singer during his opening monologue.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” Koy said.
The camera then panned over to Swift, who gave a straight face as she reached for and downed some of her drink.
Later in the show, Koy acknowledged he only wrote some of his jokes, after receiving mixed reactions from the audience.
"Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago. You want a perfect monologue?" he said. "Shut up. You’re kidding me, right? I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at."
CORRECTION (Jan. 9, 2024, at 6:07 p.m.): An earlier version of this story misspelled Keleigh Teller's first name and incorrectly stated the name of the film that won Emma Stone a Golden Globe. The name of the film is "Poor Things," not "Good Things."
