During the Golden Globes, Selena Gomez was seen whispering something to Taylor Swift. People were quick to speculate, trying to find out what they said. Even lipreaders got onto the case. However, the resolution is making Selena quit Instagram yet again.
Selena Gomez Quits Social Media
Selena Gomez, 32, announced a temporary withdrawal from social media in an Instagram Story. The decision comes amid speculation about her alleged gossip about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet to Taylor Swift at the 2024 Golden Globes. Selena Gomez shared a video of her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, spending quality time with two kids on social media, stating, “Focusing on what really matters.” She announced her temporary departure from social media, expressing concern about the negativity and turmoil in the world.
Where Is This Coming From?
This move follows a brief hiatus from social media in October, during which she highlighted her distress over global issues like horror, hate, violence, and terror. Selena Gomez expressed her deep concern about global issues, emphasizing her aversion to acts of hate and violence. She acknowledged the limitations of words and social media in addressing such profound problems, stating her desire to make a tangible impact in stopping violence. Interestingly, she had previously taken a social media break in February 2023 after becoming the most followed person on Instagram, citing feeling “too old for this.”
Why Is She Quitting This Time?
Selena Gomez’s recent decision to take a break from social media follows her attendance at the 81st Golden Globes, where she was seen in an animated conversation with Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry. Speculation arose, fueled by lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman, suggesting Gomez spoke about asking Timothée Chalamet for a photo, but Kylie Jenner declined. Gomez denied this in a comment on E! News, clarifying that she actually shared a story about two friends who hooked up. Chalamet also refuted any notion of a feud between Gomez and Jenner, stating that they were all good.
The Gomez-Jenner Fiasco
Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet collaborated on the 2019 rom-com “A Rainy Day in New York.” Gomez has a history of mixed interactions with the Kardashian/Jenner family. Kourtney Kardashian reportedly had a fling with Justin Bieber during a break with Gomez in 2015, and Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner’s best friend, later married Bieber in 2018. Despite occasional tensions, Baldwin and Gomez clarified that they were not feuding in the past year. However, in February 2023, fans speculated about shade when Baldwin and Kylie Jenner released a video about their eyebrows shortly after Gomez did.
Kylie Jenner dismissed speculation of shade towards Selena Gomez regarding a video about eyebrows, stating it was reaching and emphasizing no ill feelings towards Gomez. Gomez concurred, calling it unnecessary and expressing her admiration for Kylie. In the same month, when Gomez took a social media break, her sister Gracie Elliott Teefey, along with Kim Kardashian’s daughter North, shared a video making homemade pasta. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, faced drama with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. In a recent Time magazine interview, Swift revealed she went to a foreign country for a year after feeling targeted by the ex-couple during a challenging period following the release of West’s song “Famous.”
Taylor Swift Is Also In on It
Taylor Swift describes a distressing situation where she believes she was framed for an illegally recorded phone call that Kim Kardashian edited and released, portraying Swift as a liar. The incident had a significant negative impact on Swift’s mental state, leading her to a psychologically challenging place she had never experienced before.
Taylor Swift discusses the emotional toll of Kanye West’s song, where he rapped about her and claimed she had consented to the lyrics. Swift expresses fear of phone calls and a lack of trust in people, leading to her pushing away many in her life and experiencing a severe emotional downturn.
