According to People, Taylor Swift caused a stir on social networks after posting a photo taken with Selena Gomez. The female singer kissed her best friend on the cheek and the photo garnered 16 million likes.
The two famous singers have a friendship that lasts 15 years. They went through many ups and downs, including conflicts, but overcame them to support and accompany each other.
In a 2017 interview with KIIS FM UK, Selena Gomez shared that she and Swift knew each other because they dated members of the band Jonas Brothers in 2008.
“We dated the Jonas Brothers! This friendship was the best thing we got from those relationships,” Selena Gomez revealed.
One year later, Selena Gomez said about the British singer: “Every problem I have, Taylor Swift helps me heal. Taylor has gone through those problems, and she is older than me so she always brings She gave me useful advice. Thanks to her, I didn’t lose faith. We actually talked every day.”
In 2011, Swift and Gomez attended the Teen Choice Awards together, performing the legendary “Love You Like a Love Song” stage. Even though they live in two different countries, the close friends try to accompany each other at every international award ceremony.
During the “Speak Now” tour, Taylor Swift invited Gomez’s boyfriend Justin Bieber to be a guest artist, singing “Baby” on stage.
Taylor Swift once invited Selena Gomez to appear in the famous MV “Bad Blood”, and Selena also brought the image of her best friend to the show “Selena + Chef”. Both regularly post support for new products and guest at each other’s concerts.
In June 2015, Selena Gomez continuously had trouble in her love life with Justin Bieber. The close friend who was by her side during this time was Taylor.
According to Elle, there was a time when Selena Gomez caused a stir when she unfollowed her best friend on Instagram. This action is said to stem from the “country music princess” announcing the end of her friendship with Selena Gomez.
Media said the two had a falling out because Taylor tried to prevent Selena from getting back with Justin Bieber. Taylor Swift said it was a “disgusting” action, showing her hatred for Justin for always hurting his girlfriend.
While dating Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and their close friends became more distant, there were rumors of a rift and “taking a break”. After that, the couple mended and maintained a good relationship to this day.
Taylor Swift said about Gomez in a 2020 interview: “In life, I can forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive people who hurt Gomez or not”.
In 2022, sharing with Rolling Stone magazine to promote the documentary, Selena Gomez said: “I never fit in with a group of trendy girls who are famous people. The only friend in My industry is Taylor Swift.”
At that time, Selena Gomez was criticized for ignoring actress Francia Raisa – her close friend who donated her kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017.
Under pressure from public opinion, the “Come and get it” singer apologized for not being able to mention all the names of close acquaintances, and denied the suspicion of being ungrateful to the life-saving benefactor.
Through many ups and downs in life, amidst many scandals in showbiz, Swift and Gomez’s friendship has not faded. Even though they don’t meet often due to being busy with work, the two still support each other wholeheartedly.
