Despite stepping out for several award shows this season, Selena Gomez was unfortunately not present at tonight’s Oscars.

To our delight, the “Love On” singer has attended the Golden Globes, Emmys, and SAG Awards this year. Gomez’s glamorous outings have been full of steamy PDA between her and her music-producer beau Benny Blanco, breathtaking ensembles worthy of their own awards, and the sweetest interactions with fellow industry icons, like Reese Witherspoon. Although we are just as bummed as the next Selenator that this evening’s 96th Academy Awards will not have any of the aforementioned in store, her reason for skipping isn’t much of a surprise.
