Awards show season has officially begun and often, folks tune in not for the awards themselves but for the celebrity drama and fashion that goes along with them. Case in point: Online lip readers are convinced that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet had an issue with Selena Gomez at the 2024 Golden Globes.

On Sunday, January 7, the 81st Golden Globes kicked off at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Timothée attended with his girlfriend, Kylie, because he was nominated for best performance by an actor in a motion picture under the Musical or Comedy category for his performance in the movie Wonka. Meanwhile, Selena was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a television musical or comedy for Only Murders in the Building.
So what happened between the celebrities? Let’s take a closer look at the drama.
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet made their awards show debut at the 2024 Golden Globes.
Although they didn’t walk the red carpet as a couple, Timothée and Kylie were together at the Golden Globes. Photos from the event show the pair sitting at the same table with coordinating black outfits. One clip of the Globes broadcast even shows the couple briefly pop up on screen during a commercial break.
They were even spotted sharing a kiss.
One X user captured a widely circulated video of Timothée and the Kylie Cosmetics mogul sharing a kiss at the Golden Globes. In the clip, the couple gazed into each other’s eyes while sharing a flirty exchange. Kylie admired his necklace and suit jacket before Timothée leaned in for the sweet moment.
At one point, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift were having an intense conversation that made Taylor's jaw drop.
A now-viral interaction between Selena, her BFF Taylor, and Taylor’s plus-one to the Globes, Keleigh Sperry, is what started speculation about Selena, Timothée and Kylie’s reported beef. At one point during the awards show, the three women were intensely discussing something that prompted Taylor’s jaw to drop in surprise. What were they saying?
Lip readers online suspect Selena asked Timothée for a photo—but he rejected her.
An expert lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, deciphered the exchange for Page Six. “He didn’t want a picture with me. He said no,” Selena reportedly told Taylor. Keleigh reportedly clarified, “Timothée?” and Selena responded by nodding her head.
Selena and Timothée previously starred in a romantic comedy.
If the lip reading is accurate and Selena was talking about Timothée, the turn of events is curious. They costarred in the 2019 romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York. So why would Timothée refuse to take a photo with her?
The denial may be related to the Kar-Jenners’ beef with Taylor.
Some have speculated that Timothée’s reported issue with posing for a picture had to do with his girlfriend, Kylie. Taylor and Kylie’s sister, Kim Kardashian, have a long-standing and very public feud, after all. Perhaps Timothée wanted to avoid drama by crossing the friend groups?
Or, perhaps the lip readers have gotten it wrong, and there is no issue after all.
