Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift: “Our great friendship, born from two love stories that ended badly”

Sixteen years ago, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift were teenagers, girlfriends with two of the Jonas Brothers: one came out with Nick, the other with Joe. They did not imagine that one of the most solid friendships of the Star System would be born from those youth flirtations.

Guest of the podcast Therapuss with jake shaneSelena Gomez, 33 years old, retraced the first steps of the bond with her friend, today 35, and told how, among the post-running confidences and shared moments, their relationship became something deep, authentic, and above all lasting. “The best thing we got from those relationships is our link», Says the actress and singer today.

They were young, inexperienced and, as Selena Gomez explains, “we didn’t know what we were doing”. But from that moment on, between the two a bond was born that resisted the time, to the spotlight, to the disappointments and to the triumphs. The actress and singer remembers well how the Swift of the time was: «It was the phase in which Taylor had curly hair and wore all those bracelets who went up to her arm. “

At that time, «We have become best friends. We tied ourselves through the rupture, as girls do. And then we were close to all the following ups and downs. And today, sixteen years later, we are still here ».

It is not only a red carpet or social friendship, but a deep and constant relationship, made of listening and small shared moments. Like that time in a hotel room, in 2008, when Taylor Swift listened to his friend a song that had not yet come out: Love story. “I think it was the first song that he ever made me feel, and had not yet been published,” said Selena. «I was in a hotel room and I remember it very well. It was one of those songs that you listen and immediately think that it is one of the most beautiful ever written ».

When the conductor Jake Shane said to her: «Wow, I can’t believe you have heard Love story Before leaving, “Selena smiled:« I know, it was so tender. She said to me: “Ok, I just want to make you listen to this song, but I don’t know … maybe it will be the first single. I think so, maybe”. Hear them say those little things and listen to the piece … yes, She is a chameleon, it’s incredible».

The story comes a few weeks after another demonstration of affection between the two. Last July 20, Gomez posted a rundown of photos on Instagram Dedicated to the “most beautiful” year of her life, as she defined it. In the midst of shots with friends and boyfriend Benny Blanco, there was one with Taylor: the two seats between the balloons, Swift with the head resting on the friend’s shoulder, Gomez with his hand tense towards the goal.

Over the years, the two pop stars have supported themselves publicly and privately: Taylor was alongside Selena during difficult moments, has applauded her successes, He enthusiastically celebrated the engagement with Blanco (37 years old), declaring: “I will be the bridesmaid at their marriage”.
