Selena Gomez attended the Primetime Emmy Awards fully prepared for her moment, even in defeat. Nominated for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for ‘Only Murders in the Building’, she lost to Jean Smart for ‘Hacks’. However, a fan shared a video comparing her applause at the Emmys with a pre-rehearsed reaction from ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, showing the striking similarities.
During her appearance on Fallon’s show, Selena revealed she had been practicing her “losing face” for the Emmys, complete with cheerful clapping and a nod. Fans found it amusing, with comments praising her humor and grace in handling the situation. “Selena’s sense of humor is as brilliant as her talent!” one fan remarked.
