Selena Gomez Shows Exactly How She Spent Her Grammys Night, Far from the Ceremony

Selena Gomez’s longtime close friend Taylor Swift was front and center at the 2023 Grammys last night with Beyoncé, Adele, and more. But Gomez herself was far from the ceremony, and let the internet know she had a very nice evening too. Gomez shared photos of herself out at dinner with good friends Nicola Peltz Beckham, Ashley Cook, and more. Gomez shared the post without a caption.

Peltz Beckham commented on it, “I love you so much 💘”

Over 1.8 million people liked the IG during its first 11 hours up.

Gomez clarified to ELLE in September 2021 that she still feels like she is trying to prove herself in the music space, but has no intention of leaving the industry.

“I don’t think I’ll ever quit making music,” she started, before touching on why she feels she still isn’t established enough. “I’m not saying I want a Grammy. I just feel like I’m doing the best I can, and it’s all about me. Sometimes, that can really get to me.” Music, unlike acting, is so personal, she stressed: “You’re pouring yourself out.”

Gomez did not have any Grammy nominations this year. But that could change at next year’s ceremony. She has teased she’ll be releasing new music this year. In November, she told Zane Lowe in an Apple TV+ interview that her songs would tell stories about parts of her life her fans haven’t seen.

“I created this whole private life that was just mine, and I feel like now I have to tell these stories, and people are going to ask a lot of questions,” Gomez said, adding that there would be stories about dating included in there, too.
