Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez’s Friendship Dates Back to the Mid-2000s
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been seemingly inseparable for nearly two decades. The duo first stepped out together while they were dating Joe and Nick Jonas in 2008.
A year later, Gomez praised Swift as being a go-to friend of hers. “If I ever I have an issue, Taylor has gone through it, because she’s older than me,” Gomez told Seventeen in 2009. “And she gives the most thought-out answers. And what I love about Taylor is that she does believe in the whole love story and Prince Charming and soul mates. Because of her, I haven’t lost faith. We literally talk every day.”
The friends have been supportive of each other over the years, with Gomez appearing on stage for some of Swift’s tours. She also starred in the music video for Swift’s hit track “Bad Blood.”
“Taylor’s awesome. I love her. She’s amazing,” Gomez said in 2018. “I talked to her today. She’s literally like my big sister, I tell her everything.”
