Swift and Gomez have been close friends for years, as both have acknowledged on various occasions. Their friendship reportedly began back in 2008, when both were dating one of the Jonas Brothers. While Swift was with Joe Jonas at this time, Gomez was dating Nick Jonas. This year, she confirmed how they dated two Jonas Brothers together while speaking to Jake Shane on Therapuss.

“Taylor and I dated the Jonas Brothers. I dated Nick and she dated Joe. And everything was, it was cute, we were young. We all know and love each other now and it’s so cute. We don’t know what we were doing. She and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other because it was really sweet," Gomez said.

In a November 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, Selena Gomez also named Taylor Swift as her "only friend" in the industry. She said:

"I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn't belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy? I just didn't like who I was, because I didn't know who I was."

Earlier this year, in March, Selena Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, also opened up about how the singer had turned him into a Swiftie while they were dating. Speaking in an appearance on a Hot Ones episode ahead of her joint album, I Said I Love You First, releasing, he said that he was "aware of" Swift's music but "wasn't a true Swiftie." But since he began dating Gomez, she has been playing Swift's songs in the car, and now they end up singing songs she released a decade ago while driving.

Despite the speculation, Selena Gomez has yet to officially announce a wedding date. Swift has also not specified when she is planning to tie the knot, but both singers are rumored to get hitched this year.

On the career front, Selena Gomez released her joint album with Benny Blanco in March this year. She has also been focusing on building her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, which has been doing well in recent times. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift announced her next studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, earlier this month while appearanced on her fiance Travis Kelce's podcast. It is set to release on October 3, 2025.
