Taylor Swift Gushes Over Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s New Album
Taylor Swift couldn’t help but gush over the release of best friend Selena Gomez’s new album with her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
“I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD,” Taylor, 35, captioned a picture of Benny, 37, and Selena’s album I Said I Love You First via her Instagram Stories on March 22.
Along with the photo, the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer included a link to the set of tracks so her followers could listen.
Selena, 32, has been in Taylor’s notorious group of talented female friends for years. The duo were first spotted hanging out when the “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” artist attend the premiere of Selena’s movie Another Cinderella Story. Both women were dating one of the Jonas brothers at the time and they bonded over the mutual connection. Throughout the years, the Only Murders in the Building star and Taylor have attended numerous awards shows together, and they’ve often been seated next to each other.
In 2009, Selena joined Taylor on stage during her Speak Now tour stop in New York City, and eight years later they teamed up once again.
“After nearly 8 years of friendship, I just can’t wait to tell our kids we ACTUALLY got to perform in front of thousands of insanely beautiful people together. TWICE! I love you Tay,” Selena wrote via Instagram after performing with the Miss Americana star during night five of her 1989 world tour in Los Angeles.
In 2020, Taylor gave fans some insight into her longstanding friendship with the “Love You Like a Love Song” singer and admitted that she’s protective of Selena.
“There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way,” Taylor explained to the Wall Street Journal. “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.”
Over the next several years, Taylor and Selena weren’t seen together as often, but their friendship was still going strong. They publicly reunited in 2023 at the MTV Music Awards and later that same autumn, the ladies were photographed enjoying a girls night out alongside Brittany Mahomes.
Both Tayor and Selena are currently happily in love with the “Karma” artist dating NFL star Travis Kelce and Selena being engaged to Benny. After Benny officially popped the question and Selena broke the news on Instagram in December 2024, Taylor was one of the first of her friends to express her excitement about the impending nuptials.
“Yes I will be the flower girl,” Taylor wrote in the comments section of the Wizards of Waverly Place alum’s post.
The women’s success has led to both of them having net worths in the billions, and a source previously told Life & Style that their wealth has had a positive impact on their friendship.
“They each realize how lucky they are to be in this financial position, first of all, but also to have a friend in the same boat who they can ask for advice. It’s very unreal,” the insider said at the time. “When they get together, there’s no pretense, they’re simply two normal women who enjoy gossip, shopping, reality TV shows and romantic comedies.”
