The 30-year-old singer, who attended the star-studded award ceremony with her nine-year-old sister Gracie, went live on Instagram after the event.
In the clip, Gomez was sitting in a car with Gracie and remarked that she was “a bit big” because of enjoying “the holidays.”
“I’m a little bit big right now because I enjoyed myself during the holidays,” she said.

On Twitter, fans have praised the “Rare” singer for bringing Gracie to the event and for calling her over to take pictures together.
