It again became funny seeing Selena Gomez trending, but not for her music or acting skills but for how she handled; her defeat at the 2024 Emmys. Selena was up for the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series, for her portrayal as Mabel Mora in the show *Only Murders in the Building*. Selena’s reaction after a defeat might be common for many people – disappointment, sadness – but instead, her act is catching the audience’s attention and acquiring widespread approval for the best reason – optimism and manners.
Selena was smiles and clapping during the show when the winner was named and more to her shock, it was not her. Loyal followers immediately pounce to appreciate how polite and encouraging she was, nay, with her genuine spirit of joy, the defeat could not have dampened it. While Selena looked annoyed or at least disappointed, she was clapping and smiling for the others, moreover, the reaction made her a subject to discussions on social network.
What is particularly impressive about Selena’s response is the fact that it shows her change over time as both a person, and a member of the public. From time to time she has discussed her experiences with various personal problems which are connected with the community of mental health and how she has transformed them into positives. Her reaction at the Emmys fully supports this thought process. Rather than bemoan not having placed, she focused on the joy of being featured in such a glamour event, and be nominated alongside some of the best talent in the market.
Spectators liked how she behaved highlighting how those generally expected to fail’s endurance should help people remember they are no less valuable because they failed. One must acknowledge that any time Selena could’ve been thinking only about herself, she was doing everything she could to bring others up with her.
While losses at awards shows can be gleaned in the unfortunate spectacle for all the wrong reasons, Selena Gomez has found a positive way to lose at the award. Her Emmys reaction is an art of interaction when it comes to failures, and it is no wonder why this video is trending in all the positive way possible.
Selena may not be carrying home an Emmy this year, but she is definitely taking over fans’ hearts with her authenticity.
