The bond between Swift and Gomez began in 2008, fostered by their then-partners, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas. Gomez recalled on the “Therapuss With Jake Shane” podcast in August, saying, “The best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.”
Gomez publicly shared her engagement to Blanco in December 2024, following over a year of courtship, proclaiming on Instagram, “Forever begins now.”
Swift joined other commenters in congratulating the couple, playfully declaring, “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Around the time Gomez’s wedding drew near, Swift revealed her personal engagement to Travis Kelce, marking two years of their relationship.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the 35-year-old Swift and Kelce jointly announced in an Instagram post in August, including pictures from their proposal.
Gomez conveyed her delight for Swift through her Instagram Stories during that period.
A Chronology of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Romance
“When bestie gets engaged,” Gomez captioned a shared image of Swift and Kelce’s proposal pictures.
Additionally, Gomez posted a screenshot of an old tweet from Swift, sent 16 years prior, discussing the quest for romance.
In 2009, Swift penned to Gomez, “Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re 9. I have to believe that. You do too.”
During the same year, Gomez disclosed to Seventeen that “every single problem I ever have is healable by Taylor Swift,” particularly concerning her romantic experiences.
She elaborated, “If I ever have an issue, Taylor has gone through it because she’s older than me, and she gives the most thought-out answers. And what I love about Taylor is that she does believe in the whole love story and Prince Charming and soulmates. Because of her, I haven’t lost faith. We literally talk every day.”
Taylor Swift’s Enduring Celebrity Friendships
By 2020, Swift and Gomez shared insights into the profound nature of their bond within the actress’ WSJ. Magazine feature.
Swift elaborated, “There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”
Gomez, for her part, remarked that “so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don’t know about because we don’t necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do.”
She further stated: “She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It’s been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything.”
