Selena Gomez has had that same old love for the Golden Globes for years.

One day after being named a 2023 nominee for her role in Only Murders in the Building, the singer shared some footage from an old interview in which she expressed her desire to one day be up for the award.

In the throwback footage, Gomez can be seen talking to KTLA 5 Morning News about what it was like to attend the 2011 Grammys. "Amazing," she shared. "I thought it was so incredible. I think the Grammys are getting bigger and bigger every year, which is really fun."

When asked if winning a Grammy is an aspiration of hers, Gomez noted, "I think it would be an honor, of course, but I'm more of a Golden Globe or Oscar girl so—it would be nice."

And look at her now: In addition to earning her Golden Globe nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy category, she was up for a Grammy earlier this year (getting a nod in the Best Latin Pop Album category for Revelación).

"Dreams do come true!!" Gomez wrote on TikTok Dec. 13 alongside a clip from the interview. "GUYS IM NOMINATED FOR A GOLDEN GLOBE. Brb gonna scream."
