Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are the ultimate besties and there are many moments to justify this statement. Both popular singers have been ruling hearts for decades and have been receiving a lot of love from their fans for years.
Recently, Taylor got engaged and Selena got married, and the two lived the dream of every BFF duo ever. Swift and Gomez first met in 2008 when they were both dating Jonas Brothers members, with Swift seeing Joe and Gomez seeing Nick. While neither relationship lasted, Gomez has famously quipped, “The best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.” Now, on husband Benny Blanco’s podcast, the Hollywood singer has made major revelations about her friendship with Taylor and it has taken over the internet.
THIS Taylor Swift Son Is About Selena Gomez
Five years after Taylor Swift released her album Evermore, the Rare Beauty founder reflected on their friendship, revealing that she was the muse behind her track Dorothea. “Dorothea is about me,” she explained on the March 3 episode of Benny’s podcast Friends Keep Secrets. “I feel like a lot of huge moments that were self-defining, from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between-we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18,” she added.
When Taylor dropped her ninth album, fans speculated that the eighth track on the project was about Selena-especially with the nod to Dorothea selling dreams and makeup-though neither confirmed the rumors.
Throughout their careers, the duo has supported each other professionally. Gomez appeared as the character Arsyn in Swift’s 2015 Bad Blood music video, and Swift surprised fans at Gomez’s Reputation Stadium Tour show in 2018. They have also spoken about playing new music for each other before its official release.
Personal Front
On the personal front, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, breaking the internet earlier this year. They shared dreamy pictures in a joint post on Instagram alongside several photos from their floral-filled garden proposal. The couple looked overjoyed; Taylor flaunted her stunning engagement ring, while Travis kept it romantic. The singer also released her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, and has been making headlines for it ever since.
Selena on the other hand, married music producer Benny Blanco on September 27, 2025, in an intimate, star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, hosted approximately 170 guests at the lush Sea Crest Nursery.
