Selena Gomez took the spotlight at the MTV Video Music Awards, wearing a stunning red Oscar de la Renta floral halter dress and accessories. She enthusiastically supported her friend Taylor Swift, who had a successful night with multiple wins.
Gomez shared a humorous photo on Instagram alongside Swift, jokingly commenting on their expressions in the image. She also posted a statement on her Instastories, expressing her desire not to become a meme and preferring to be true to herself.
While it’s unclear what prompted her statement, some social media users commented on Gomez’s expressions during Olivia Rodrigo’s performance of “Vampire,” where Rodrigo was rushed from the stage as part of the act.
Gomez had a successful night at the awards, winning the Best Afrobeats award with Nigerian star Rema for his song “Calm Down.”
