It’s always the behind-the-scenes of an award show that spills the tea, and a video began circulating the internet of Selena Gomez whispering something in Taylor Swift’s ear at the Golden Globes before the “Karma” singer’s jaw dropped to the floor. But what was Gomez telling Swift? That’s the million-dollar question, and fans thought they had it figured out.
One fan theory speculated that Gomez was talking about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. Fans looped the video multiple times and what they came up with was that Jenner refused for the “Single Soon” singer to take a photo with Chalamet. According to one X user, formerly known as Twitter, the conversation went down like this: Gomez told Swift, “I asked for a picture with him and she (Kylie Jenner) said no.” Kelieigh Sperry, who was also in the conversation, seemed to question who Gomez was talking about and audibly said, “Timothée,” to which the singer nodded yes. This fan theory went viral, and many people believed it, not just because of the video but because Jenner and Gomez have had beef in the past.
In 2023, rumors circulated that Jenner and Hailey Bieber poked fun at Gomez online after she overlaminated her eyebrows, per Page Six. “The Kardashians” star denied the gossip, and Gomez agreed it was all good between them. However, this didn’t stop people from thinking that the two may not get along, and the Golden Globes only brought this tension back to light.
