Selena, 31, however, was spotted plugging her ears while looking up at the stage with a seemingly unhappy look on her face.

Olivia, 20, performed her hit song Vampire during the MTV VMAs.

The Only Murders In The Building star held one hand up to her ear and opened her eyes wide.

She appeared to be looking around, removing her hand as the performance came to an end.

Although the moment was brief, viewers online took notice and took to X to weigh in.

“Selena covering her ears because Olivia was screaming. IJBOL,” one person wrote.

Another posted: “Selena’s face during Olivia’s performance IM DYINGGGGG.”

“Selena looking concerned for Olivia bc she definitely has not seen the Vampire video,” a third person wrote.

Someone else posted: “Lol Selena Gomez was all of us. This Olivia Rodrigo performance is confusing the heck out of me.”

“Lmao not Selena Gomez looking genuinely frightened…Olivia pls,” another viewer wrote.

Another post on X read: “Selena’s face while Olivia’s performance says it all.”

Selena hit the MTV VMAs red carpet, flaunting her figure in a lacy red gown.

The dress gave the appearance of being see-through under the red bits and featured a slit up the side.

Selena’s 2023 MTV VMAs ensemble was custom-made for her.

Her long dark hair was down in a straight style, hanging down her back.

She had subtle glam makeup on and a large pair of earrings that looked like flower petals.

Fans appreciated the look, gushing over it on social media.

One wrote: “Selena Gomez looks beautiful.”

“Absolutely loving Selena Gomez’s dress! She looks flawless,” someone else posted.

Another wrote: “OMG THE DRESS SHE LOOKS GORGEOUSSSSS.”

“Omg! @selenagomez at the VMAs wow! She looks amazing! Her dress and hair!! The look wow!!” a fourth fan remarked.

Selena had not previously publicly confirmed that she would be attending the MTV VMAs.

She is nominated for several awards at the show this year.

She is up for Song of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, and the Best Afrobeats VMA Awards.

She already has nine VMAs under her belt.
