As the nominations for Best R&B were being read out, the audience applauded graciously – but not everyone was impressed.
In a now viral moment, the audience camera panned to Selena Gomez as Chris’ name was being read out.
The Calm Down singer was seen stopping her applause before sneering at the nomination.
