Selena Gomez took center stage at the 2024 Golden Globes, not for her nomination, but for her candid social moments. The singer and “Only Murders in the Building” actress shared a photo on Instagram of her kissing her boyfriend Benny Blanco post-award ceremony, triggering a whirlwind of internet speculation. However, despite rumors, Gomez never interacted with Timothée Chalamet or Kylie Jenner at the event, as confirmed by an exclusive source to PEOPLE.

The other major highlight of Gomez’s Golden Globes night was her candid conversation with Taylor Swift, a moment that went viral on the internet. The pair, both nominees at the award show, were seen engaged in a chat, leading fans to speculate about their lively interaction.

Gomez’s sartorial choices deserve a notable mention as well. The actress showcased a sophisticated look, accentuated by a nude pink lip, smoky burgundy eye, brushed-up brows, and soft mauve blush on the cheeks, matching the elegant ambiance of the 81st annual awards show.

Although Selena Gomez lost to Ayo Edebiri in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Musical or Comedy category, she emerged as a victor in the eyes of her fans, thanks to her candid moment with Blanco. The attention her viral moments grabbed once again proved that the Golden Globes is as much about off-stage interactions as it is about the awards.
