On Wednesday, the Lose You to Love Me singer took to her Instagram Story to post a sweet message to fans about her joy over the nomination.
The post included a photo of the star sitting next to a cake emblazoned with the words "Congratulations Emmy nominee!"
"I'm honored and insanely grateful for this," Sel wrote over the snap.
"Thank you @onlymurdershulu for giving me Mabel."
Whether or not the sweet cake was made by her cooking-savvy boyfriend Benny Blanco is not known, but the couple has been known to celebrate accomplishments with a congratulatory cake in the past as they did for the release of the record producer's cookbook in May.
After the whirlwind Cannes success of Selena's film project Emilia Perez, it's no wonder that the star is finally being recognized for her acting chops in the TV arena!
Only Murders in the Building, a zany murder mystery comedy series entering into its fourth season, has nabbed a staggering 21 Emmy nominations this year.
In addition to Selena's Outstanding Lead Actress In a Comedy Series nod and two lead actor nominations for co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, supporting and guest actors Meryl Streep, Matthew Broderick, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph have also been recognized.
