Inside Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez 'stronger than ever' bond
Truth behind Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift's decade long friendship
In a profession where friendships are often temporary, few relationships in Hollywood endure as long as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez’s.
Taylor and Benny Blanco's wife have been close friends for over a decade, and have been sister-like friends since their first meeting in 2008. It was during their early teens and while they were dating brothers in the Jonas family were in the early stages of a romantic relationship.
They have stood as each other’s emotional keepers through the peaks of their careers and through the breadbasket of global notoriety. “To Selena, Taylor has always been like an older sister. They support each other through everything and no matter how busy life gets,” an insider revealed to E! News.
Standing by each other through it all
They have provided love and loyalty on multiple occasions, be it during their appearances at award ceremonies or through the emotional messages dedicated to each other on Instagram.
Taylor was one of the first people to acknowledge Selena's returning to the public space after her health struggles when she called her “The most loyal and genuine person” she knows. In turn, Selena has offered praise to Taylor for her enduring public scrutiny and described her as "the most loyal and genuine person.”
Selena’s attendance at Love story vocalist's The Eras Tour and enthusiastic support from the VIP tent were the latest highlights of their friendship, along with other famous friends. Social media users adored the reunion, and many labeled the pair “the definition of forever friends.”
Not just friends but chosen family
In many ways, this artist still sees this other artist as family rather than a friend. Taylor Swift once told Rolling Stone, “Selena knows everything about my life — she’s my constant.” For many obsessed with celebrity culture, these pair of artists' relationships illustrates true friendship, even for those under constant public scrutiny.
No matter how their special worlds change, one thing appears true — Taylor and Selena’s friendship isn’t just unbreakable, it’s also timeless.
