Finally, an awards show at which Taylor Swift’s most noteworthy facial expression was not a look of shock after winning an award.
Swift, who won Artist of the Year and several other trophies at Sunday’s Billboard MusicAwards, instead made waves with a faux look of disgust after Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber embraced backstage (GIF, courtesy Us Magazine, and video below).
Gomez and Swift had played the inseparable, BFF role at the event, but when they went backstage Sunday night, Bieber was waiting to greet his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Thanks to a bystander, video footage of their awkward cheek-kiss and embrace was obscured, but Swift’s facial reaction was clear as day.
In a reaction that has already inspired GIFs (and will certainly inspire memes), Swift scrunches her face and sticks her tongue out to humorously signal nausea at the interaction.
Gossipers continue to wonder whether Gomez and Bieber are dating again; their awkward interaction at the Billboard Awards says no, but if they are, we at least know of one celebrity who is less than enamored.
