Selena Gomez is trending once again, and this time it’s not for a new song or skincare drop—it’s because she might’ve disrespected Beyoncé. According to the internet, Selena managed to be at two events at once… but not in a way the BeyHive appreciated.
Beyoncé is currently dazzling her way through a mini-residency in New Jersey as part of her Cowboy Carter Tour, with shows running from May 22 to May 29 before heading to London. And yes—Selena showed up to support. But how she spent her time in the VIP suite is what’s got everyone talking.
Selena Gomez Got Bored at Beyoncé’s Concert—And the Internet Noticed
In an Instagram Story posted from her VIP box, Selena gave us a glimpse of the scene: Beyoncé lighting up the stage in the background… while Selena was busy watching the Lakers vs. Timberwolves game on her phone. Oh, and casually sipping a beer.
The caption?
“Still got my eye on the game.”
One woman, two screens, and a whole internet of opinions.

The BeyHive Did Not Find It Cute
Fans of Beyoncé were quick to clap back. If you’re at a Queen B concert, the general rule is: you pay attention. Instead, Selena livestreamed her split focus—and that did not go over well.
Here’s just a taste of the comments flooding in:
“Why go if you’re just going to be bored?”
“She could’ve learned a thing or two about real stage presence.”
“She was clearly just there for the PR.”
“No wonder nobody likes her.”
“Don’t hate her, guys—she’s just allergic to good music.”
Yikes.
Was It Really Disrespectful, Though?
Yes, it might’ve been tone-deaf to post a video showing you’re barely watching one of the greatest performers of our time. But let’s be real—neither Selena nor Beyoncé has commented, and it’s entirely possible there are no hard feelings between them.
Sometimes a girl just wants a beer, a ball game, and a little background Beyoncé. But next time? Maybe leave the multitasking off the grid.
