Revisiting Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber’s ICONIC PIC that shook the internet; Here’s why they posed together

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber, are two names that are important to the current pop culture. Both women have made their mark in the industry in their own ways, but fans always assumed the duo didn’t see eye to eye, even though the starlets themselves addressed it on multiple occasions. But Gomez and Bieber decided to take things into their own hands last year when they posed for a photo together, which broke the internet and became the biggest headline in the news. Here’s what an insider had to say about the famous picture.

Why did Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber pose together?

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber grabbed the spotlight last year at the Academy Museum Gala when they posed for a photo together. The pictures showed the two hugging each other, and smiling at the camera. This was the iconic shot that everyone was shocked by. Especially because for the longest time, people believed the duo was cross with each other because of Justin Bieber. Now many made the mistake of thinking, that the singer and Bieber happened to be at the right place at the right time, attending the same event. However, it’s essential to recognize that behind this public display of camaraderie, there was a more profound message the women aimed to convey.

As per an insider who talked to Entertainment Tonight, the women wanted to indirectly tell fans who’ve set them against each other because of their romantic association with Justin Bieber, that there is no beef between them. The insider told the outlet, “Selena and Hailey were both super chill together at the Academy Museum Gala.
