Selena Gomez provides a look into her bond with Taylor Swift
In March 2025, US singer-actress Selena Gomez released her new album "I Said I Love You First," co-written with her fiancé, songwriter and producer Benny Blanco. But the creation of this album wasn't the only significant event in Gomez's life—it also marked the 16-year anniversary of her friendship with fellow pop star Taylor Swift.
Their friendship began during a time when they were both involved with members of the Jonas Brothers. Selena dated Nick Jonas, while Taylor was with Joe Jonas. The sweet relationships, however, did not last, and the two young women found solace in each other after their respective breakups.
The bond between Gomez and Swift grew strong through mutual support and understanding as they navigated the pressures of fame and personal growth. They met when Gomez was approximately 15 and Swift was 17 or 18. The discussion about their friendship occurred in the podcast "Therapuss with Jake Shane."
Reflecting on their past relationships, Selena stated that they often say the best thing they took away from those experiences was each other. This deep and enduring sisterhood has lasted over 16 years, and to this day, the two remain inseparable and publicly supportive of each other.
Taylor Swift, currently dating American football player Travis Kelce, played her later hit "Love Story" for Selena Gomez before the song was released. This origin story has become well-known and beloved by fans, highlighting the positive solidarity between the two stars. Occasional joint appearances or published photos of Swift and Kelce delight the fan bases of both stars.
Despite the passage of time, the friendship between Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift continues to thrive, serving as a testament to the power of mutual support and understanding in the face of adversity.
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift's friendship, which started after their respective breakups with members of the Jonas Brothers, has endured for over 16 years. They have found solace and support in each other during their journey in the service of entertainment and the challenges of celebrity life.
