CULTURE – The « childless cat ladies » have not finished making headlines. After Taylor Swift, it was the turn of singer and actress Selena Gomez to add another layer this Sunday, September 15, at the Emmy Awards ceremony which rewards the best of American television.
Selena Gomez arrived on stage accompanied by Steve Martin and Martin Short, her partners in the series. Only murders in the building, to announce the winner of Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy (Ebon Moss-Bachrach in The Bear).

“It’s an honor for me to work with someone who looks like a former tennis champion”replies Steve Martin, aiming at Martin Short. Selena Gomez, hilarious, then says in turn: “It’s an honor for me to work with two guys who are this close to being childless cat ladies [childless cat ladies en anglais, NDLR]. »
A mocking reference, as Taylor Swift did before her, to Donald Trump’s running mate, Republican JD Vance. The latter was caught up in a controversy this summer for calling Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris a “childless and unhappy woman”At 59, she has not had any children but has stepchildren.
Superstar Taylor Swift played on the much-criticized phrase when she officially endorsed the vice president just after her debate against Donald Trump. On Instagram, she signed off her message with the words “childless catwoman”, and posted a photo of herself with her pet. At 34, the superstar is in a relationship with famous American football player Travis Kelce but is not a mother.
Selena Gomez, who is also a very close friend of Taylor Swift, has also used the expression to ridicule her. She also, at 32, does not have any children. She recently revealed that she would never be able to carry a baby because of her health problems. If the actress starring inEmilia Perez Jacques Audiard plans to “ starting a family before the age of 35 »as she declared to Vanity Fair, she will necessarily have to turn to a surrogate mother or adoption to realize her project.
