Selena Gomez recently attended the MTV VMAs (Video Music Awards) and her presence was all but eclipsed by her reaction to Chris Brown being announced as one of the nominees in the best R&B video category. By everything we mean, even her and Taylor Swift's reunion. As expected, memes based on her reaction started doing the rounds on social media. The singer, in her latest Instagram story, addressed those memes and she wrote, "I will never be a meme again. I'd rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love." The Calm Down singer's comment has divided the Internet. While some rooted for the singer. The other school of thought is that memes should not be taken this seriously.
First, read the post shared by Selena Gomez here:
