AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez presented the first award at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards alongside her "Only Murders in the Building" co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin. Amidst their friendly banter, Gomez made a timely dig related to Swift's recent public support.
After Short joked about Martin's age, Gomez quipped, "And let me say, what an honor it is to work with two men who are this far away from being childless cat ladies."
The comment referenced Swift's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president. In her Instagram post, Swift had signed her endorsement as "childless cat lady," co-opting the phrase previously used by J.D. Vance to describe Harris. Vance's remarks had sparked backlash at the time.
Gomez's reference drew attention to Swift's endorsement and her willingness to embrace the term as a symbol of strength and independence.
Meanwhile, the Emmy Awards also celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live". Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Bowen Yang and Seth Meyers took the stage to honor the legendary NBC comedy show. They poked fun at the show's history of so-called "losses" at the Emmys, despite its numerous wins and nominations.
The tribute highlighted the enduring impact of "Saturday Night Live" on television and popular culture.
