Taylor Swift’s Role in Selena Gomez’s Wedding Revealed

If you’re ever weary of being recognized for your connections, remember that Taylor Swift will always be familiar with Selena Gomez.

The singer of “The Life of a Showgirl” publicly highlighted her friendship with the Only Murders in the Building star at her wedding to Benny Blanco on September 27th. Several sources reported that she and her friend Ed Sheeran both gave speeches celebrating the newlyweds.

Selena and Benny celebrated their wedding with a guest list full of famous faces, including Only Murders co-stars Martin Short, Steve Martin, Paul Rudd, and Ashley Park.

Oh my gosh, it’s just *so* sweet to see how Taylor was a huge part of Selena’s recent big moment! Honestly, they’ve always been there for each other, like, *forever*. I remember back in the late 2000s when Selena was dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was with Joe Jonas – they were supporting each other even then! It’s just the cutest thing, they’ve really been through everything together.

“It was a really lovely time, and we were both so young,” Selena shared on the Therapuss podcast on August 6th. “My friend and I often say the most positive thing to come from those relationships was actually us finding each other, because it was genuinely a sweet connection.”

Selena shared that her friendship with Taylor has seen each of them through the throws of romance.

Selena remembered becoming close friends at that time-they connected over a difficult breakup, like girls often do. “And after that, we just remained friends through everything life threw at us, and now, 16 years have passed,” she said.

Now, Selena and Taylor are conquering life together, with Selena joyfully married to a music producer and Taylor engaged to Travis Kelce. Naturally, the Wizards of Waverly Place star is thrilled about Taylor finding her happily ever after. She shared on Instagram on August 27th, simply writing, “When bestie gets engaged.”

For Taylor, she’d meet up with Selena every Tuesday for a glass of wine for the rest of her life. 

“From the moment I met her, I knew I’d always support and defend her,” Taylor shared with WSJ. Magazine in 2020. “I’m able to forgive those who hurt me, but it would be difficult to forgive anyone who hurts her.”
