Candace Owens got the surprise of her week in a hotel lobby. Recounting the moment on her podcast, Owens said she looked up mid-conversation with a member of Kanye West's team and locked eyes with Kim Kardashian across the room for the first time since Kim and Kanye's 2021 divorce.

Owens compared the silent exchange to a viral internet stare-down meme, admitting it would have been especially awkward given her public comments about Kardashian over the years, per TMZ.

The dreaded seating showdown never happened, though — Owens later learned Kardashian wasn't even there for Kanye's show, but for daughter North West's concert the following night.
