The friendship between the pop stars blossomed as Selena and Taylor bonded over their shared experiences, including their breakups. According to Gomez, their friendship was so strong that Taylor even shared her unreleased song "Love Story" with her early on[1].
Their friendship has endured for more than 16 years, marking a remarkable milestone in 2025. During this time, they have often described their relationship as sister-like, with deep loyalty and admiration for each other[2][3][4].
Their first public appearance together was at the premiere of Another Cinderella Story in September 2008, a significant moment in their friendship's history[2][4].

Their friendship was discussed in detail on the podcast "Therapuss with Jake Shane", offering a rare insight into their bond[7]. However, the interview did not reveal any current or ongoing relationships between Gomez, Swift, or the Jonas Brothers.
Their friendship, which started during their teenage years while they were dating different members of the Jonas Brothers, is a testament to the power of shared experiences and mutual support. Despite the passage of time, their bond remains strong, making them a beloved duo in the eyes of their fans.
