Among the members of Taylor Swift’s squad, Selena Gomez looked the second worst at Monday night’s MET Gala in New York City.
According to at least one very scientific poll, that is.
But that wasn’t even the worst piece of news to come out of the fashionable event this week for Selena.
As has so often been the case for her in the past, the artist’s evening was dealt an unfortunate blow by her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.
According to Hollywood Life, Bieber did not attend the MET Gala itself in The Big Apple this week.
But he did stop by an after-party at The Boom Boom Room… and he was not alone for the occasion. He allegedly showed up with occasional love Hailey Baldwin.
“Selena and her girls were supposed to go to the after-party at The Boom Boom Room,” a source tells Hollywood Wife.
But when she found out Justin was going to be there, she changed her plans. She didn’t want to be there with Justin and Hailey. It’s a small place and that would just be way too uncomfortable.”
That’s understandable.
Unfortunate, but understandable.
Still, it wasn’t exactly a lost night altogether for Gomez.
This same article says she headed over to the Vogue magazine after-party, where she was spotted taking many cute pictures in their awesome photo booth.
Other celebrities who attended this event included Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. So Selena was in some pretty famous company.
While Bieber and Gomez continue to fuel rumors of a possible reconciliation, Baldwin has made it pretty clear at this point that she at least dated Bieber at some point in the recent past.
They are still very friendly and it would not surprise us if they still knock boots on occasion.
So we can’t blame Gomez for avoiding such an awkward run-in, can you?
But we can blame Selena if she ever goes back to Justin.
Come on, girlfriend. You can do so much better.
