Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are ultimate Bestie goals, so we’re looking back on key
moments from their stan-worthy friendship, from how they met, to now!
Let’s get into it!
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift first became friends all the way back in 2008, and the
reason may actually surprise you.
Speaking to KIIS FM UK, Selena shared that it was actually the Jonas Brothers that Brought
them together.
Yep, it was all thanks to the JoBros!
“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together!
It was hysterical no but it was amazing, because she was the girl with the big curly hair and
all the bracelets and the cowboy boots.
And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked,"...
"It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."
These besties were first spotted together while walking the carpet for Selena’s movie,
Another Cinderella Story...
In 2009, Selena shared more about her friendship with Taylor during an interview.
When asked who she turns to when it comes to advice on love, Sel admitted, "Every single
problem I ever have is healable by Taylor Swift."
Awww, honestly that warms our heart!
She went on to gush over Tay, “If I ever I 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 soul mates.”
Tay is seriously the bestie that we all need!
Selena added that “Because of her, I haven't lost faith.
We literally talk every day."
Awww
In 2011, the BFFs hung out at the People’s Choice Awards and both walked away with trophies,
Tay for Favorite Country Artist, and Selena for Favorite Breakout Artist.
That same year Selena performed her song "Who Says" with Taylor at the Madison Square Garden
stop of her Speak Now tour.
Aww!
Bestie queens supporting queens, we definitely love to see it!
In May of 2014, Selena posted an adorable video of her and Taylor from the Met Gala
and captioned it, “And during.. sometimes you wanna just be you with someone who knows
all your secrets.”
In August of 2015 Selena performed her song "Good for You" with Taylor during her 1989
tour.
That same year, Selena appeared in Taylor’s iconic video for Bad Blood that we still play
on loop.
Selena also gave Taylor a sweet bday tribute that year, showing how long they’ve been
friends in a black and white photo.
So cute!
This friendship obviously has us in our feels!
In 2018 Sel and Tay gave us fans exactly what we want as they took the stage again, but
this time singing Selena’s song “Hands to Myself” at the Rose Bow.
In 2019, amid Taylor’s drama with Scooter Braun who acquired the rights to her first
six albums.
Taylor posted an open letter about the situation, and her bestie Selena was there to show support
and prove that she had her back by posting her own open letter, writing,
“Seeing my best friend (or any of my friends) be constantly pulled down is the worst feeling.
Taylor fights.
She will never stop fighting.
People grow from choices.
Some will stay exactly the same.
I just want a change of heart.
I love you.”
In December 2019, Selena celebrated Taylor’s birthday in an adorable post, writing, “Love
living many many many years of life with you.
You mean the world to me.
You help me become better everyday.
Happy 30th, @taylorswift,"
In January 2020, Taylor got serious about people messing with her bestie…
As one would, she told WSJ magazine at the time, “There has always been this quality
of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way.”
She went on to share about Selena, “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.”
And that’s on period!
Taylor has also always supported Selena’s music, like when she released her album Rare
and Taylor took to IG and wrote, “Congratulations to @selenagomez and everyone who had a hand
in creating this...Make sure to buy/stream/support this work of art and the beautiful soul who
created it."
In February 2021, Selena once again showed up to celebrate Taylor’s re-recorded song
‘Love Story’ from her album Fearless Taylor’s version.
Selena wrote, "So proud of you, as always, Tay...LISTEN to THIS album ❤️."
In March of 2021, Selena gave fans a behind the scenes look at her friendship with Tay,
when she posted these photos on her instagram of Taylor and her cat Benjamin Button alongside
the caption, "Kinda missin this one."
Taylor commented back on the post, “ love u like a love song bay beh 🥰," referencing
Selena’s song "Love You Like a Love Song."
Seriously, we can’t get enough of these two!
And after all these years, these besties are still showing how much they love and support
each other!
When Taylor was the musical guest on SNL during the recent release of Red Taylor’s Version,
Sel was in attendance rooting her on!
Taylor shared a behind the scenes TikTok of the pair backstage...that was EVERYTHING!
“oh no my bestie is a bad bitch” “he he he he he”
And while appearing on the Tonight Show recently we don’t need to remind you but we will
about how Taylor admitted that she would do anything to bring up Selena Gomez while playing
a game!
With so many years of friendship, we couldn’t cover EVERY single moment in this story,
otherwise we might be here for days!
Clearly Sel & Tay are tighter than ever and we will continue to stan these ultimate
besties!
