Spotlight has always been that one place where, despite the friendly bonds on-screen, the rat race of success makes even the best of friends step into the shark tank. But luckily, some friendships go beyond the confinement of glitz and glamor and Selena Gomez may have shown the ultimate one amidst her Oscar-worthy journey through the ranks. The Emilia Pérez starlet recently rolled the red carpet for fellow pop sensation, Ariana Grande, who is writing her own silver-screen success story with a highly anticipated musical drama film, Wicked.

In fact, Gomez dodged a musical question, just in the process while waving the green flag for Grande.

At the Emilia Pérez premiere on Monday in Los Angeles at the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood, when Out Magazine asked her on the red carpet about her favorite musical of all time or one she would like to see on the big screen—given the surge of musical releases this season—Selena Gomez sidestepped the question. At first, she said she was unsure if she had an all-time favorite but added, “I’m excited to see Ariana’s movie.”

Selena Gomez has been on a mission to deliver a full-blown cinematic showdown this award season with Emilia Pérez. However, along the way, she is making sure to polish the throne for her fellow industry icons, especially for Ariana Grande's Wicked. Having previously shown love for Grande and Lady Gaga at the New York Film Festival, this time she wore her heart on her sleeve for Grande in the most spectacular way yet.

While Gomez dodged the "favorite musical of all time" question, the red carpet buzzed with another one in the midst of her cinematic rise about new music.

As Selena Gomez made her entrance at the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood for the premiere of Emilia Pérez, the red carpet hosts had more than just musical questions on their agenda. Variety caught up with her to discuss her plans for new music amidst the early Oscar buzz. Gomez shared she does not have any immediate plans for new releases, but reassured everyone that music will “always be a part of” her.

The host could not help but ask what movie genre interests her next. Gomez emphasized the lesson she learned from starring in Emilia Pérez: it’s not about the genre but the inspiration from everyone involved. While she dreams of a “genre-less” world, she also expressed her excitement at exploring a variety of projects.
