00:00Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift react to Selena Gomez's performance at the American Music Awards.
00:06Plus, we need to weigh in on the BTS fans possibly booing Selena controversy.
00:12Hey guys, it's Ali with your most necessary story of the day.
00:15And the day after Selena's comeback performance at the AMAs, she jetted off to the 2017 Lupus Research Alliance Gala in New York.
00:23Selena spoke about her diagnosis and told a harrowing story of her life-saving kidney transplant.
00:29And of course, she did it all in high style.
00:32But okay, let's get to Selena's controversial AMAs performance.
00:36First, our reporter in the audience, Russ Weeklund, who is one of the best reporters in the game, said he heard boos after Selena finished.
00:43And he thought it was coming from BTS fans who were super vocal throughout the show.
00:47However, BTS fans, aka ARMY, were super offended by this.
00:52Others have reported to us they also heard the boos, which you couldn't hear on the broadcast.
00:57Still, others who claim they were there say they didn't hear any boos at all.
01:01So, I think what's going on here is a few trolls booed Selena, but it wasn't audible to everyone in a loud theater.
01:08And BTS fans shouldn't be blamed.
01:10That's far from the only controversy, though, because many fans accused Selena of lip-syncing her performance.
01:16However, TMZ reports Selena was not lip-syncing, but rather singing to a backing track like most artists do in 2017.
01:24Selena also didn't dance much because she wanted to sing live, so this explains the muted physical performance.
01:30It was also widely rumored that Selena had a panic attack before hitting the stage.
01:35However, that's not exactly the case.
01:37We're hearing exclusively Sel did feel sick with nerves and was noticeably anxious before going on stage, but she didn't have a full-blown anxiety attack.
01:46Selena put a lot of pressure on herself to give the best performance possible and felt a little overwhelmed stepping back into the spotlight after all she's gone through in the last year.
01:55We're also hearing Sel has been leaning on Justin after getting attacked by haters over the supposed lip-syncing controversy.
02:02Selena is bothered by the negative energy online and has just been trying to ignore it.
02:07Justin has been comforting and supporting her by sharing his own experiences with similar situations, which Selena really respects.
02:14We're also hearing Justin is super proud of Selena performing live again.
02:18JB knows what a challenging road it's been for his baby and knows that considering her health issues, her AMA performance was extra special and meaningful.
02:26Also, get this.
02:27We found out exclusively Justin surprised Selena by making sure her dressing room at the AMAs was covered with dozens of roses when she returned from the stage.
02:37So romantic.
02:38We're also hearing exclusively Sel's BFF Taylor Swift was inspired by Sel's performance.
02:43Tay was blown away seeing Selena work so hard to return to the stage with such an emotional performance considering everything she's gone through.
02:52Taylor is touched and moved by Sel's resilience and felt so proud of her friend.
