If you’ve been following Selena Gomez on TikTok at all this year, then I don’t need to tell you that her content is usually quite funny. Whether she’s reenacting classic sitcom scenes with her little sister or just plain trolling herself, there’s often lots of humor involved.

The fact that Selena’s reactions in the clip, which appeared to convey shock or concern, were purely farcical was pretty obvious. But the Only Murders in the Building star still clarified “it’s a joke” in her post’s caption.
