Selena Gomez went into the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony fully prepared. The actor, who was nominated in the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category and lost to Jean Smart for Hacks, was seen applauding her when the camera faced her for a few seconds. It was almost a replication of when she appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, where she rehearsed her reaction.

Selena rehearses her losing face
A fan took to X to share a video combining both the clips of Selena, from the Emmy awards and The Tonight Show side by side, to reveal that both the reactions were almost the same. Selena knew how she would react if she lost, because she practiced! In the caption, the fan wrote, “Selena Gomez doing her practiced applause for if she lost at the EMMYs.”
It all happened when Selena accompanied her Only Murders In The Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short on The Tonight Show a few days ago. When host Jimmy Fallon asked her about her nomination, she went on to add that she has been rehearsing her losing face. She went ahead and showed it live, which included a cheerful applause with a side nod.
