Selena Gomez Spills On Her Unbreakable Bond With Taylor Swift: 'The Best Thing We Got Was Each Other'

Selena and Taylor: A Friendship Forged in Teen Heartbreak

Hey, LA fam, let’s talk about a friendship that’s basically pop culture royalty! Selena Gomez just opened up about her 16-year bond with Taylor Swift, and trust us, it’s the kind of heartwarming story we can’t get enough of. On a recent episode of the 'Therapuss' podcast, the 33-year-old singer and actress spilled all the sweet deets on how their connection started - and why it’s still going strong.

Picture this: two young stars, navigating the wild world of fame and first loves. Selena dished that their paths crossed thanks to a shared dating history with the Jonas Brothers. 'I dated Nick [Jonas], and she dated Joe [Jonas],' she reminisced with a laugh. Back then, Selena was just 15, while Taylor, at 18, rocked her iconic curly hair and armfuls of bracelets. Adorable, right?

Those early romances may have fizzled - Selena and Nick split in 2008 (and again in 2010), while Taylor and Joe parted ways in 2008 - but something even better came out of it. Selena put it perfectly: 'We like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.' Cue the awws!

From Breakups to Besties: A Bond That Stands the Test of Time

So, how did a couple of teen breakups turn into a sisterhood for the ages? Selena explained that she and Taylor bonded over the heartbreak, as only girls can. 'At that age, [we] became best friends and bonded over the breakup,' she shared. From there, their friendship became a rock through every high and low over the past decade and a half.

And let’s just say, they’ve had each other’s backs in the sweetest ways. One memory that still shines for Selena? The time Taylor played her 'Love Story' - rumored to be inspired by Joe Jonas - in a hotel room before its release. 'I remember it vividly,' Selena gushed. 'I instantly heard it and thought, “This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.”'

'Taylor’s just incredible - a chameleon,' Selena said with admiration. 'She’s grown so much, but our friendship has always been this constant through everything.'

Love, Loyalty, and a Little Nostalgia

Fast-forward to today, and Selena’s still in awe of Taylor’s evolution as an artist and person. Calling her a 'chameleon,' she couldn’t help but rave about how their friendship has remained a steady anchor amidst all the chaos of fame. Whether it’s cheering each other on at award shows or sharing quiet, personal moments, these two are the definition of #FriendshipGoals.

But let’s not forget Selena’s got some love in her life too! She got real about her journey with music producer Benny Blanco, whom she first met at 16. Back then, he was just 'nice' and 'funny' - until years later, when sparks flew. After jokingly asking him to set her up with someone cute, feelings bloomed, and though she was 'terrified' of how fans might react to their professional overlap, they went public in 2023.

Now, with an engagement in 2024, Selena’s 'excited' for what’s next but taking her time with wedding plans to focus on personal goals. And through it all, one thing’s clear: her bond with Taylor remains a cherished constant. From Jonas Brothers drama to grown-up dreams, these leading ladies prove that true friendship is the ultimate Hollywood love story!
