Over the weekend, a new DeuxMoi pic dropped, and the internet immediately lost its mind. The viral shot showed besties Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez deep in conversation at what looks like a cozy dinner date—and it gave major gossip sesh vibes.
Selena was obviously spilling hot tea and Taylor looked shook to her core. Naturally, fans became instant detectives trying to figure out what the tea was.
So… what were they gossiping about? The Swiftie and Selenator sleuths have theories—and they’re juicy.
What Were Selena and Taylor Gossiping About?
Meryl and Marty’s Fling Part 2
One of the top theories? Selena was dropping an update on the Meryl Streep and Martin Short hookup rumors. There’s been wild whispers that the acting legends might be a thing after they were seen looking super close (urm, literally holding hands) at several events. They both denied it, but fans weren’t convinced.
Now, flashback to the 2024 Golden Globes when Selena was spotted whispering to a shocked Taylor in yet another viral pic. Well, the ISILYF artist admitted she was telling Taylor some hookup tea about her friends:
“I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone’s business,” Selena told E! News. Of course, fans thought she was referring to Meryl and Martin.
Fast forward to this dinner, and fans are convinced it was part two of the same drama—Selena giving Taylor the latest on the Meryl x Martin situationship.
Hailey Bieber’s ‘Shady’ Like
Another theory floating around? Taylor was reacting to Hailey Bieber randomly liking her “I own my masters” post. It raised eyebrows because Hailey and Taylor don’t exactly have a cute history.
Throwback to when Hailey pretend to gag when Taylor’s name came up on Drop the Mic. It gave major mean girl energy, and Swifties didn’t forget. So Hailey suddenly liking Taylor’s post felt suspiciously off-brand—and fans think Taylor was showing Selena the like in full “can you believe this?!” mode.
One fan left a comment under DeuxMoi’s IG post imagining what the convo would look like: “And yes, hailey liked my last post about owning my music”…”Oh I saw it, but isn’t that weird?”
The Rhode vs Rare Beauty Drama
Then there’s the billion-dollar beauty battle. With Hailey’s Rhode x ELF collab making waves, fans have been comparing her success to Selena’s Rare Beauty empire. The comparisons heated up even more after Rare Beauty’s team posted—and then deleted—a cryptic tweet of Selena with the caption, “Still here.”
Fans immediately clocked it as subtle shade at Hailey, who had just dropped her big Rhode news. Some think Selena might’ve been venting to Taylor about all the online drama and media headlines pitting the two against each other again. Or…maybe she was being shady.
Blake Lively’s Alleged Blackmail Drama
Some fans think Taylor might’ve been the one spilling tea this time, and it was about her longtime friend Blake Lively. Rumors started swirling back in February that Blake allegedly threatened to leak a decade’s worth of private texts unless Taylor publicly supported her during that whole legal mess involving Justin Baldoni.
The claims were never confirmed, but it caused major online chaos—and fans now believe Taylor might’ve been updating Selena on where things stand. “Dying to know what was said about Blake,” user @nikkicole111 commented on the IG post.
Or… It Was Just About Benny Blanco DJing Prom
But hey—maybe Selena and Taylor weren’t even gossiping about messy celeb tea. Maybe Sel was just telling Taylor that her man Benny Blanco was going to surprise-DJ at a high school prom—which he did just yesterday (June 1).
Selena Always Has Taylor Gagged
Whatever the convo was, one thing’s for sure: Selena always has Taylor gagged. These two have been besties since the Love Story era, and there are so many moments of Sel spilling tea while Tay looks like she just found out who Gossip Girl really is. I mean, it’s hilarious and iconic all at the same time:
So whether it was hookup updates, petty shade, or prom night surprises… you just know the tea was piping.
