Selena Gomez is shutting down speculation that a brief Instagram comment was aimed at Taylor Swift.
In an Instagram Story, Gomez said she would never insult her friends and explained that her “lol” comment was not meant as a dig. The reaction came after Swift was seen celebrating the New York Knicks’ win over the San Antonio Spurs during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Gomez, a known Spurs fan, said the comment was tied to the first slide of the post and a friendly bet she had with other friends. She added that she lost the bet and was joking with them, not calling out Swift.
The moment gained attention because Gomez and Swift have been close friends for years, and fans quickly debated the meaning of the post online.
Gomez kept the explanation simple, saying it was just a basketball game.
