“Don’t try that with me,” Gomez told him.

The young star later said that she’s protective of her friends.

“I think girls need to be more supportive of each other. I definitely agree with that. I’m all about that,” she said. “Taylor has been one of those girls. We have been friends for five years. She is very strong. She doesn’t care what people think and she inspires me.”

Gomez won best pop video for “Come & Get It” at the ceremony Sunday and said she didn’t expect to win.

“So I am watching the beautiful boys, One Direction who are not bad to look at, then they said my name. I looked at Taylor … it was surreal. Because I do put so much work into my music. There’s so much talk of everything. But I did put my heart and soul into it so I was really excited. It was great.”
