Centering the Images

I just started Pygame this year, and I'm currently making a clicker game using pygame. For some reason, the image is not centering on the screen.

import pygame
import sys

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((2560, 1760))
    
class emoji:
     def __init__(self, x, y):
         self.x=x
         self.y=y
         self.length = 500
         self.emoji = pygame.transform.scale(pygame.image.load("emoji.jpeg"), (self.length, self.length))
    
     def draw(self):
         screen.blit(self.emoji, (self.x, self.y))
    
     def rect(self):
         self.rect_.x=self.x
         self.rect_.y=self.y
         return self.rect_


    
while True:
    screen.fill((255, 255, 255))

    # this is the problematic line:
 
    obj = emoji(screen.get_rect().center[0], screen.get_rect().center[1])

    obj.draw()
    pygame.display.flip()

    for x in pygame.event.get():
       if x.type == pygame.QUIT:
           sys.exit()

That's my code, and obj=emoji(screen.get_rect().center[0], screen.get_rect().center[1]) is my centering code. I have no idea what is wrong with it. According to every single source I have, that is how to center an object.

Get the bounding rectangle of the image and set the center of the rectangle to the center of the screen. Use the rectangle to blit the image:

screen.blit(self.emoji, (self.x, self.y))

screen.blit(self.emoji, self.emoji.get_rect(center = (self.x, self.y)))

Note, the 2nd argument of blit can either be a tuple with the coordinates or a rectangle. When the argument is a rectangle, the upper left corner of the rectangle will be used as the position for the blit.
