It became one of the stand-out moments of the Golden Globes, sparking a flurry of memes and speculation.
So it was no surprise that the 2024 British Academy Flm Awards brought a brand new version of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift‘s viral exchange, thought this chat came from Hollywood darlings Margot Robbie and Emma Stone.
The pair were pictured in the midst of a dramatic chat as they posed for snaps together on the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.
Snaps from the event showed Emma visibly shocked by Margot’s revelations as they made their way into the ceremony.

At the Golden Globes last month, video from their table showed Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez having an extremely animated discussion
Continuing her trend of Barbie-inspired looks, Margot opted for a pink and black strapless gown with matching gloves and heels.
At the Golden Globes last month, video from their table showed Taylor and Selena and Miles Teller‘s wife Keleigh Sperry having an extremely animated discussion – with a somber Selena waxing lyrical to a shocked Taylor and Keleigh, before the latter is clearly heard clarifying: ‘with Timothee?’ as Selena nods.
Fans quickly began to analyse the clip and claim Selena was detailing how she asked Wonka star Timothee for a photo – but his girlfriend Kylie Jenner allegedly said no.
A tweet from popculturegal claimed Selena said: ‘i asked for a picture with him and she (kylie jenner) said no’.
One fan wrote: ‘Selena so real. Whenever something happens to me i’m running straight to my girls’
Another wrote: ‘She was making sure to YELL that loud so everyone could hear her lmfaoooo’ while a third typed: ‘I just love Taylor’s face’
Others wrote: ‘Selena with the gossip’ and ‘It was so clear though . You can clearly hear the name from Keleigh.’
Another wrote: ‘Why I think this tea is about Timothée not greeting Selena even if they’re friends because of Kylie? There’s another angle when you can tell the other girl is saying ‘noo Timothée??’

David Tennant will host this year’s ceremony live from Royal Festival Hall at London’s Southbank Centre, with an array of guest presenters on hand to deliver awards throughout the night.
Actress and singer Hannah Waddingham will treat guests to an exclusive live music performance, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor will perform her iconic hit Murder on the Dancefloor after it enjoyed a new lease of life in Emerald Fennell’s BAFTA nominated Saltburn.
Elsewhere the Guyanese-born, London-based film curator June Givanni will receive an Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award.
Actress Samantha Morton’s lengthy career will also be rewarded with a BAFTA Fellowship, the arts charity’s highest accolade and handed out in recognition of outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, games or television.
Tennant, who is hosting the star-studded ceremony for the first time, recently admitted he was bewildered by the prospect of compering to so many people.
He told Variety: ‘I don’t know what to expect, if I’m honest with you. The whole thing just feels like one of those experiences you say ‘yes’ to because it would be churlish not to. But what an amazing thing to be asked to do. What a privilege.’
The Scottish actor also insisted he will adopt a softer approach to the abrasive style used to great effect by Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes.
‘I think the BAFTA mood is supportive and friendly,’ he added. ‘Ricky Gervais is brilliant at what he does, but that wouldn’t be my style.
‘I don’t think I’ve quite got that sort of approach, so I think you just have to kind of be who you are, really. But we’ve got some good material that won’t leave anyone feeling got at.’
Tennant revealed he was in complete shock when he received an email asking if he wanted to host the annual awards show.
Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: ‘Right now, a month out, it feels like a bit of a thrill and a lark.
‘An extraordinary opportunity to do something very unusual and exciting. People keep asking me how nervous I am, how I’m preparing for it and so on, and that’s beginning to make me nervous.
‘Who knows why they’ve asked me! I just thought I’d say yes before they realised they’ve sent the email to the wrong person.’
BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip confirmed the academy was ‘over the moon’ that Tennant would be hosting the ceremony.
She said: ‘He is deservedly beloved by British and international audiences, alike.
‘His warmth, charm and mischievous wit will make it a must-watch show next month for our guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home.’
Guest presenters on the night will include Bryce Dallas Howard, Callum Turner, Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daisy Edgar Jones, David Beckham, Deepika Padukone, Dua Lipa, Emma Corrin, Gillian Anderson, Hugh Grant, Idris Elba, Jack O’Connell, Lily Collins, Rebecca Ferguson and Taylor Russell.
Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards & Content said: ‘It is a privilege to welcome so many nominees to the EE BAFTA Film Awards this Sunday, representing some of the best on-screen and behind-the-screen creative talent working in film today who have provided audiences worldwide with an incredible year of film.
‘It is a joy to bring these 38 remarkable films and the teams that made them to public attention.

‘With host David Tennant bringing his charm and charisma to the ceremony, and performances from Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Hannah Waddingham, it promises to be an entertaining show for all our nominees and guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home around the world.’
In 2023, acting veteran Richard E. Grant graced the stage as the BAFTAs host, and during his opening monologue referenced the notorious 2022 Academy Awards moment when movie star Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock across the face.
He told the star-studded crowd: ‘Nobody on my watch gets slapped tonight – except on the back.’
In 2022, Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson made risqué jokes about the royal family, Russian president Vladimir Putin, the gender pay gap, flop film Cats – in which she starred – and her recent weight loss.
