In a dichotomy of fortune, Selena Gomez commanded undivided attention on the illustrious stage of the MTV Video Music Awards, for better or for worse.
The songstress and thespian graced the cerulean carpet bedecked in a scarlet Oscar de la Renta floral halter gown, accessorized harmoniously.
As the night unfolded, she enthusiastically cheered on her confidante, Taylor Swift, who clinched the most coveted accolades of the evening.
On Instagram, Gomez graciously shared a photograph featuring her alongside Swift, playfully jesting about their respective visages.
The accompanying caption humorously remarked, "She exudes resplendence while I convey an expression akin to consternation."
Further encapsulating her sentiments, Gomez articulated a proclamation through her Instastories.
It candidly stated, "I shan't endure the ignominy of becoming a meme anew. I'd opt to remain stationary, unscathed by the scathing critique for being my genuine self. Profound adoration."
The star of "Only Murders in the Building" opted not to elucidate the catalyst behind her proclamation, yet denizens of the digital realm proffered their conjectures as they scrutinized her countenance during the ceremony.
On the microblogging platform X, erstwhile known as Twitter, a wave of discourse unfurled regarding Gomez's countenance, characterized by an ostensibly quizzical countenance during Olivia Rodrigo's rendition of "Vampire." At one juncture, Rodrigo was precipitously ushered off the stage, a scripted spectacle.
The eve proved to be felicitous for Gomez as she clinched the esteemed Afrobeats award, in collaboration with the Nigerian luminary, Rema, for their melodic opus titled "Calm Down."
