Selena Gomez notices Martin Short’s phone moment at the Emmys, fans react in love.

A little mischief, a lot of love

A short clip went viral at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards that made social media melt.

Only Murders in the Building’s Selena Gomez looked at the camera, smiled and then whispered to her fiancé, Benny Blanco—it seemed like—“Marty’s texting Meryl.”

Martin Short was smiling on the screen while reading something on his phone, and Selena’s simple reaction made the whole scene adorable.

On-screen chemistry, off-screen affection

Selena, Martin Short and Steve Martin are just as cute on the show as they are in real life.

Selena has previously said that working with Meryl Streep is a “pinch-me” experience for her, and Martin praised Streep’s openness and humility.

This small moment certainly reflected that admiration—the camaraderie and banter between the big stars.

Tenderness amid the glamour

Selena walked the Emmys red carpet in a red Louis Vuitton gown, slicked-back hair and sparkling Tiffany & Co. jewels.

Yet those little winks and smiles showed that there’s a real human behind the heavy makeup—one who delights in the little antics of her friends.

Benny Blanco also shared a sweet kiss, making the moment even more interesting.

Fan reactions and meaning

The video quickly spread on Twitter and Instagram, making fans laugh and melt.

Many wrote that it’s these little human moments that make awards nights memorable.

Only Murders in the Building received multiple nominations this year, and moments like these show that the show’s success isn’t just down to the writing or the performances; the cast’s warmth and chemistry are also a big factor.

Small moment, big story

In one moment, Martin’s phone call, Selena’s glance and Benny’s smile–all three proved that the red carpet is not just a platform for fashion, but also for small gestures of relationships and motherhood.

When even big stars share such innocent moments, viewers instantly connect–because that’s the real, human sense of humor.
