Taylor Swift was one of my favorite singers growing up as a young girl who listened to various sorts of music, as was the case for many of her other admirers. Selena Gomez was another singer – and actor – we admired, largely because she portrayed a character named like me on Wizards of Waverly Place. But, like many other Disney stars, she pursued a career in music, and she ultimately became good friends with Taylor Swift.
Through highs and lows, these two best friends have maintained a connection that has lasted for years and continues to do so, frequently demonstrating their affection for one another on social media, at concerts, and in a variety of other ways. Here’s a look back at some of their cutest moments.
1. When it was revealed how they met – via dating the Jonas Brothers – they were shocked.
In the Meantime, Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas, often known as the Jonas Brothers, have long been well-known in the media. They were popular with Disney, much like Selena, and have grown up with their music alongside their fans, getting funnier, having entire families, and even hosting their own Netflix roast special. They were just teens dating other teenagers before all of that.
Selena Gomez discussed her lengthy connection with Taylor Swift in an interview with the Wall Street Journal through Elle, stating that it began when the two of them were dating two of the Jonas Brothers, Selena with Nick and Taylor with Joe.
2. This Adorable 2015 Happy Birthday Message
Selena Gomez’s Instagram post from 2015 has always been one of my favorites. The image depicts the two vocalists together, with the upper half depicting them singing on stage while the lower half depicts them placing their hands together in the shape of a heart.
“I don’t know life without you, Taylor,” Gomez continued in the post. “Congratulations on your birthday!” It’s always fascinating to watch these two when they were younger and marvel at how far they’ve come as artists and in their other efforts.
3. During Taylor’s Drama With Scooter Braun, Selena stood up for her.
If you were paying attention to the key headlines in the music business in 2020, you would have heard about Scooter Braun, a well-known record executive, selling the master rights to Swift’s first six albums. Swift had been attempting to reclaim possession of the master recordings at the time, but things started to fall apart when this happened.
