Selena Gomez said her self-described awkwardness once led her to avoid an interaction with fellow singer and actress Ariana Grande

She’s recognized in the same category as Selena Gomez, also in attendance — and in Chanel — Zoe Saldaña, Margaret Qualley, Felicity Jones and Isabella Rossellini. Gomez said Grande was among of the first to congratulate her via text message. “I see how hard she works,” Grande said.

Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez are in each other's corners. While at the Academy Women's Luncheon Tuesday (Dec. 10) in Los Angeles - where the Rare Beauty founder sat next to the "Yes, And?" singer - Gomez revealed to Variety that Grande was one of the first people to message her after they both received Golden Globes nominations in the best supporting actress category the day prior.
