Selena Gomez is taking another break from social media after she was caught gossiping with Taylor Swift and Keleigh Teller at the Golden Globes.
"I'm off social media for a while," she wrote on her Instagram story on top of a video of boyfriend Benny Blanco playing with two young children. "I'm focusing on what really matters."

This isn't the first time the singer has taken a step back from socials, in fact, she's known for announcing her departure every time she makes headlines for the wrong reasons.
For context, Gomez was caught dropping some major tea to Swift and Teller at the Globes, and naturally, footage of the incident was analysed from every angle possible by lip readers, fans and the entire internet.

According to lip readers, Gomez was talking about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, kicking off rumours of an alleged feud - something that was debunked by Chalamet himself the next day during a stroll in Beverly Hills.
The actor and his sister were approached by one of TMZ’s photographers who asked him whether he and Selena were cool. Chalamet responded: “Yeah, of course” before shutting down the theory that Jenner and Gomez “have any beef” or that the Only Murders in the Building star was rejected by the reality TV mogul.
Gomez then weighed in on the drama in an Instagram post shared by E! News with the caption, “Was Selena Gomez Gossiping About Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at the Golden Globes? Here’s the Truth.”

Gomez commented: "Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business.”
However, her admission was met with a side-eye, with fans adamant that they saw Keleigh mouth Timothee’s name in the short clip.
According to a user on X, Gomez said, "I asked for a picture with him (Timothée Chalamet) and she (Kylie Jenner) said no."

To which Keleigh asks, "With Timothee?", and Gomez nods in response.
Gomez and Timothee starred as love interests back in 2018 in Woody Allen’s film A Rainy Day In New York.
Timothee is currently dating Jenner, who accompanied him at the Globes.
At the end of the day, we'll never know what was really said between a group of celebrities at a prestigious award show, but it's always fun to take a guess.
