Selena Gomez reportedly wanted to mention Taylor Swift in her speech at the 2024 Emmy Awards.

The 76th Emmy Awards took place at the Peacock Theater in the US in the early morning of September 16 (Hanoi time). Selena Gomez appeared on stage with her two co-stars in Only Murders In The Building , Steve Martin and Martin Short, to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

The former Disney actor teased her two colleagues: “I’m honored to work with two men who are not ‘barren cat owners'”

The former Disney actress’s statement immediately went viral and was widely shared online. Many comments suggested that Gomez was referring to Taylor Swift. Previously, the owner of The Eras Tour had called herself “a barren cat lady” in a post supporting Kamala Harris.

Gomez was accompanied to the event by her boyfriend Benny Blanco. Blanco showed affection for his girlfriend in front of the camera. Previously, Gomez shared that she could not conceive naturally due to health problems. Therefore, she and Blanco considered using a surrogate or adopting a child.

Ilona Maher, the rugby player who caused controversy at the Paris Olympics for being overweight, made her Emmy Awards debut. She wore a strapless black and blue velvet peplum dress, paired with earrings, rings and bracelets. According to People , Maher is overcoming all body stereotypes to become a model.

After posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine , she will participate in the show Dancing with the Stars.

Vogue named Richard Gadd’s win as one of the top 7 Emmy moments of the year.

When he accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series/Series/Anthology for Baby Reindeer , he said: “Ten years ago, I was devastated and hopeless. I never thought I would ever get my life back together. And here I am, more than a decade later, receiving one of the biggest awards in television.” In the past, the actor was stalked, harassed, and threatened by a journalist.
