Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have been gracing the world with the prime award show moments since the late 2000s, and Sunday night’s (Jan. 7) Golden Globes were no different.
Captured from various camera angles, the Only Murders in the Building celeb walks over and murmurs something to her long-term bestie, causing a comically startled expression from the “Anti-Hero” singer. Also reacting at Swift’s side is intimate friend Keleigh Sperry, who’s wedded to Top Gun: Maverick celeb Miles Teller and appeared in Swift’s “I Bet You Think About Me” music video.
The trending clips have left the internet in a whirl, with many eager to know what two of the most recognized women on the planet might’ve been discussing during the award show’s commercial break. Some lip-reading enthusiasts even have hypotheses of their own.
“the tea selena gave taylor must be piping hot,” one person tweeted.
“selena being like ‘MHMMMMM’ at keleigh and taylor’s faces oh i need the tea,” wrote another, while a third added, “to be a fly on the wall oh my god.”
Both women attended this year’s Globes as nominees, with Gomez’s Only Murders performance recognized in the prime female actor in a TV series, musical or comedy category, and Swift up for cinematic and box office achievement for her Eras Tour concert film. (Gomez lost to The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, while Barbie was victorious in Swift’s category.) At Gomez’s side that night was her boyfriend Benny Blanco, with whom she posted a behind-the-scenes kissing photo on her Instagram Story after the ceremony.
And while there was no shortage of sweet moments from this year’s awards, there were also a few uncomfortable ones. Particularly, when host Jo Koy made a jest about the NFL’s extensive coverage of Swift’s presence at Travis Kelce’s Chiefs games, to which she definitely did not smile.
